I used to be able to show code in ebay groups but now either I can't find that code or it just quit working. This should work but doesn't:

<a href="http://stores.ebay.ca/Fishheadtackle">My Store</a>

I copied your whole post and pasted it nr, here is what I got:

When html is parsed, it can replace < with < and > with > . You usually don't have to make the conversion yourself though. This should work everywhere that HTML code is allowed:

Code: ‹ Select ›
My Store

They may use a form of bbcode like what we use here too. The bbcode tags seem to be pretty universal in all the software apps that I've seen that use them. So the same code could be written like this using bbcode tags:

Code: ‹ Select ›
My Store

Some apps may require that the URL be embedded between quotes:

Code: ‹ Select ›
My Store

or

Code: ‹ Select ›
My Store

Dave, am I understanding you right.... You want the actual code to show up in your post at ebay groups? And what is happening the code disappears when you submit the post?

dontknow

Only suggestion I can make, other than using the [code] tags I suggested earlier, would be to take a screen shot of your code and post that:

yes that is what I mean rb, I want to show the actual code. I was able to do it but then they changed it and I no longer can. I'm not sure but they changed it so you can leave a link and it auto activates without any code. Maybe this has something to do with it. Everything in ebay is wierd.

That's a good reason for me to stay away from it then, I'm weird enough already. LOL
