some of my comments are just a bunch of symbols that I don't understand ,< > and & with letters, any ideas?

From what I have read it is a glitch, and from what I have experienced when I have tried to leave comments using the "post a comment" link, it leaves those symbols instead of your comment. If you try the "quick reply" instead, that should work. I have had better luck with quick reply. HTH :)

And Queen Bee, there is a great forum on here where you can post "technical" questions about the site. Go to the Reader Feedback/ Site Suggestions & Questions forum. I find that the moderators check that site very frequently and answer questions VERY promptly and very thoroughly.
