thank you:
1)
Hosting Linux
PHP Version 5.2.17
mysql server: 5.0.92-enterprise-gpl-log
2)
at least firefox 19/20 on windows, iexplorer 8 on windows and the new safari on mac
but I think with all the browsers
3)
you type correctly in wysiwyg
you can see all the formats
but after they disappears
a simple example
if I write a message shorter then the minimun lenght, three letters
(an "a" on the left, "b" on the right, "c" in the middle of the screen)
when I send it, after the error the editor shows me the three letter on the left (he has lost the data of the position)
the same appen to a normal message with colors/fonts
they appear while you are writing the message in the editor, but they disappear when the message is sent

thank you!

Either of editors, string which include HTML tag is saved at DB without being changed. When "format" field of qa_posts table is "html", Q2A display as it is, but when "format" field is empty (""), Q2A display it  by replacing HTML tag to special string. (Example: "<"-> &lt;)

Check "format" and "content" fields of qa_posts table by phpMyadmin. And, check HTML code of displayed question page.

I'm going out to work, but, quickly:
something similar to your example, but with shorter text, produce, in the 'content' field

<p>
    <span>a<span>

    <span>b<span>

    <span>c<span>

     </span></span></span></span></span></span></p>


'format' is html

tonite I'll test it better
(thanks again)

Sorry
I've not found the solution.
so, I have installed in another directory the new version and slowly I have migrated on the new one.
for curiosity:
now I can write and edit regularly on the new installation. If I show one of these questions on the old directory it's without html.
In any way: problem solved. thank you for your advices.
