Re: Re: Re: Apparent broken tag error
There are some places where the system will not allow very long strings of characters so as to not stretch the area. I believe poll options are one of those places.

When this happens, you need to add some type of blank word-wrappable space within the tags.
If you can't do it "naturally", you can do it "unnaturally" with the { } tag. *Smile*

In this case, if it's a poll option, you could just do:
         {size:4}{font:verdana}Other {/font}{/size}
          = Other

... and that would likely solve the problem as the blank space won't cause an issue in formatting.

In places where the extra space would mess something up, you can use the { }:

         {size:4}{font:verdana}{ }Other{/font}{/size}
          = Other
... in this case, the system will split within the opening of the { and }, rather than breaking your other tags.

Hope this helps,
~~SM
