Hi,

I downloaded the dforum script and tried it myself, too. Like Sean
mentioned, the preview looked fine to me.

When I looked the html source of the preview screen, I saw the following
<INPUT> tag in the <FORM> tag.


		<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="body" VALUE="test
test

test

last line
">


If you are talking about the last line (">), this is a part of the
<INPUT> tag. It is trying to pass everything including newlines. 

If not, I would wonder if you have added something to the original
forum.pl.


Hope this help
