Can I use html tags anywhere in my posts?

No. You can not use HTML tags in any field except the subject or body of the message. The maintainer of the script has the option of allowing or disallowing any HTML in these two parts of your posting. If they disallow it, the script will just display the tags but not "execute" them. If they allow it, your html markup will appear in the posting and actually be used.

Why are there colons in the message when I try to post a followup?

Colons appear in the message dialog box when you try to followup up on a message to indicate that those lines are quoting the previous document. The owner of the can decide whether they wish to enable or disable the quoting of previous messages.

Why didn't my post show up?

Your post most likely did not show up because your browser did not reload the page, it simply pulled it out of cache. Please reload your browser and it should then appear.

Where can I get the script for this program?

The script is written in Miva and was created by Yahoo!. Enjoy!
