I wrote a post entitled, Help With Bird Identification! Techniques, Hints And Tips For Beginners
When I hit the post button half of the literature was above the title in blue and the other half was in the normal white box.
I eventually managed to get all of the literature in the correct place, but whoever replies to the post appears above it in blue!
I would be most grateful if the post could be rectified either by yourselves or passing on instructions to see if I can alter it.

I read that and found myself a little confused (not unusual), thought it was my computer being silly, so tried reloading the page.
Think we need a tecky person.

Hi
I've been trying to fix the post you mentioned.
The reason this kind of thing happens is because some formatting has been carried over when text is pasted in from somewhere else - another website, or sometimes a Word document or email.
When copying and pasting text, it's a good idea to use a text editing program like Notepad, which removes the formatting.
i.e. copy the text, paste it into Notepad, then copy from Notepad and paste into your forum post.
While I'm here, please remember that the site's terms and conditions say you mustn't "pass off other people's text or images as your own". It's fine to include a small amount of text from somewhere else, but please credit the website you got it from and include a link to that site.
The RSPB (as the publisher) could get in legal hot water if copyright is breached.
Thanks!
Katie
Than you Katie for the information
I did not know about the use of Notepad
Will use it in future
Regards
Kathy and Dave

Thankyou Katie for fixing the problem.
