Solved problem #1 (AOL reads HTML in mail, therefore the code didn’t get copyed. Duh.)

Problem #2: Composer says there is a “premature close of tag” in the HTML code. I can’t see anything overtly strange. I am using this tag:

> [@](#):
>
> \<TABLE\>  
> \<TR\>  
> \<TD\>\<A HREF=“[http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?ring=sdmbring;id=25;prev](http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?ring=sdmbring;id=25;prev)”\>\<IMG  
> SRC=“rrprev.gif” WIDTH=“20” HEIGHT=“85” BORDER=“0”\>\</A\>\<A HREF=“[http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?ring=sdmbring;list](http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?ring=sdmbring;list)”\>\<IMG  
> SRC=“rring.gif” WIDTH=“45” HEIGHT=“85” BORDER=“0”\>\</A\>\<A HREF=“[http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?ring=sdmbring;id=25;next](http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?ring=sdmbring;id=25;next)”\>\<IMG  
> SRC=“rrnext.gif” WIDTH=“20” HEIGHT=“85” BORDER=“0”\>\</A\>\</TD\>\<BR\>  
> \</TR\>  
> \</TABLE\>

Help. My head hurts and I need to go eat.

SwimmingRiddles, you are using Netscape Composer? It’s a little funky. For some reason you need to add these tags (one before and one after) to the HTML:

\<!–Begin SDMB Reg Ring–\>

\<!–End SDMB Reg Ring–\>

I have never figured out why you have to do that, but I’ve also never been able to add HTML to a page in Composer without it. That’s why I do all of my pages in Notepad, now.

Opal, a question. I redesigned my site, and moved it to Envy ( [http://envy.nu/cessandra/](http://envy.nu/cessandra/) ). When I try to edit my URL in Webring’s Member Edit section, it saves and then immediately changes back. And, when I click the “next” on the site before mine, it still goes to the old URL. What gives?

I would’ve gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for those meddling kids!
