We're very lucky to have an HTML expert like nutrax to help us out here on SiT! Those who post on other branches are probably a LOT more frustrated the we are.
But, it still SUCKS to have to become a HTML programmer just to make a post to TT.
So far, the only REALLY good thing about the new TT is the ability to go back and correct your stupid typos. I LIKE that!

Actually Maz, the old TT didn't preview exactly what was going to be posted. With accents it might have, but with html codes it just showed the string of numbers. But magically it would display correctly when you actually posted it.
I tried a bunch of symbols. None worked. Gonna thrill the folks who can't post the symbol for pound sterling or yen or euros.

Oh, joy. I can use the HTML tag for "cents"
The Spanish branches but also SiT.
Note that you can't use italics at the end of a sentence. Look: test?
Diana, I don't know about your browser, but on mine the preview ALWAYS appeared EXACTLY like the posted message. Bold, italic, underlined, quotes, and last but not least, ALL the special Spanish letters and diacritics. I'll bet this new TT is driving the posters on the Spain branch and the German branch absolutely NUTS. No acentos graficos (can't even write THAT correctly now), tildes, dieresises, umlauts or what have you. This is something that TT MUST change, and change quickly!
shilgia, never fear, here on SiT, nutrax is going to teach us all to be HTML programmers. We'll be the ONLY branch of the TT that gets it right!
OK. You can use HTML for certain characters.
¿ should I send £200 to José mañana; with my sincere Grüssen?
You will find the list here
Edited a bunch of times to get it right. This ain't a thrill.
