Just created and advert using word and then cut'n'pasted it into STW.

The ad worked OK, but now it looks like this

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style=”margin: 0px; font-family: ‘Arial’,sans-serif;”><span style=”font-size: medium;”> </span></span></span>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style=”margin: 0px; font-family: ‘Arial’,sans-serif;”><span style=”font-size: medium;”>Hope 34.9 QR seat collar</span></span></span>

<span style=”margin: 0px; font-family: ‘Arial’,sans-serif;”><span style=”font-size: medium;”> </span></span>

<span style=”margin: 0px; font-family: ‘Arial’,sans-serif;”><span style=”font-size: medium;”>Black, some rubbing marks, works perfectly</span></span>

<span style=”margin: 0px; font-family: ‘Arial’,sans-serif;”><span style=”font-size: medium;”> </span></span>

<span style=”margin: 0px; font-family: ‘Arial’,sans-serif;”><span style=”font-size: medium;”>

What is wrong with it???

Can anybody help please?

Yes, you have to hit the magic eraser button with the text highlighted to strip it of all it's mystical html taggery.

Just like you have to do on all those other forums. 🙂

Nice stealth ad, though.

It'll be full of markup. Better using Notepad.

Using Chrome I have a "Paste as plain text" option; would this strip out HTML tags?

Yep. You need serifs if you're going to ride it on the road.
