Formatting: Firefox 2 on Windows XP.   Also, I just tried with Firefox 2 on OS X and got the same result.  A soon as I hit Save and then the page reloads, the formatting disappears.

That's it? The inflation is caused primarily by the Fed. Bah. They're pointed in the right direction at least. beetlbumjl: What OS/browser are you using? I noticed on xyz's Ubuntu/Firefox 3 machine she has issues when saving certain formating. I've got no problems on my Crux/Firefox 3 box or any work machines with Firefox 2.
