I have a feeling that you have to enable HTML code in the post, that is HTML instead of the usual vB code. 👍

Well, the preview changes button displays what you've written as a post (therefore converting it into HTML). I'm guessing somewhere along the way a page didn't load properly and something went wrong. Your description of what happened is a bit too vague to work out why.

I know you don't want to start over, but the chances are you'll probably have to. Unless you want to go through it changing all the code into BBcode, you haven't got much choice from what I can see. Sorry I can't be of more help, really :(

What exactly happened? Not just "I hit preview then edit".
 
Well, what happened was that I was editting my post to add pictures and text, afterwards I pressed "Preview changes" to be sure I was adding it correctly. After I viewed it, I pressed the "Go back" arrow in the Firefox bar to go back to the previous page where I was working in. That's where it happened, when the screen came up, all those codes were there. I thought it was just my PC so I pressed "Save changes". But afterwards, the others confirmed the problem...
 
Whenever you hit "preview changes," I would recommend that you don't go back usung your browser. You can still edit in a normal-looking window below the preview area. Try using that more.
 
Philly cheese is right. Whenever you preview a post, there's still an editing window below the preview.
