So, I tried to create a thread with a large opening post the other day. I drafted it in a Word document so I could save my progress, including all the formatting. However, when I actually previewed it, half the tags didn't work. The [mana], [size], [color], and [spoiler] tags were functional, but the [b], [i], [u], and [center] tags were just left in as text. How do I fix the problem?
I do this for every article I write, and it imports okay. I've got a couple potential solutions.
I'm not sure how much formatting gets carried over on it's own from word, try moving it to notepad first or otherwise clearing any formatting before pasting. If that doesn't work, the problem is likely that you've got a broken tag or two in there. The only time it's been a problem for me is when one was hiding somewhere that I didn't notice.
Ah, never mind, I figured out the problem. I was using [B] instead of {B} for non-symbol black mana and the bold tag was getting screwed up. I quit being lazy and swapped in the [mana] tag and now everything works.

EDIT: I just double-checked the tags then tried putting everything though notepad first and it still doesn't work.

You either forgot one of your [/b] tags, or mistyped it, etc.
Same for [i] [u] and [center]
If you paste it in here, or PM me if you prefer, I can find the broken tags for you.
