When I submitted the application to become an editor, the username I chose was already in use. When I pressed back, to enter a different username, I was glad to see that all the information I had entered was still there. But, in the box labeled "Sites with which you are associated:" the information I had typed in had become mangled, with all HTML code showing up, especially
tags where the linefeeds had been. This only happened to that one box. Unfortunately, I did not notice the problem until I had already pressed submit the second time.

That's annoying, I was sure that some time ago, we had added a note on the editor application page to caution people to make a copy of appplicaiton before submitting, in case they ran into a problem like this.

No worries.

I just looked at the application, and those
tags are being turned right back into linefeeds in my browser. What I see is a perfectly well formatted declaration of affiliations.
