Cool trick, **waterj2**. That would be a good way to hide a link. [ul]T[/ul]esting if I can indent a paragraph here and also posting my sig so I can just cut and past it when I want it back. Just adding some words here to see what a paragraph would look like here.

It worked! šŸ™‚ Well, except for the fact that I have to log in separately for each individual post, but it still works. BTW: Anyone want to guess why the message text shows up as red on this system? Itā€™s only black when I preview my posts. ---
