Can someone tell me what it means?

@Big Sister, If you're referring to this message:

"Your post has been changed because invalid HTML was found in the message body. The invalid HTML has been removed. Please review the message and submit the message when you are satisfied."

It simply means the post was checked for code that might be problematic.  When you see it, just go ahead and click/tap "POST" and you'll see that your reply will be posted with no problem.

Thank you for this explanation. I've seen that a couple of times and since I had no idea what to do I justs clicked post and it went thru. Nice to know what it actually means.

HTML is the code used to make websites appear the way they look on your screen.  If you are on a Windows computer, you should be able to right click on this page and choose "View Source" to see what the HTML code for this page looks like. 

If you included certain symbols in your post, such as % signs or colons, the system may be thinking you are trying to add some code to the page. Since QVC doesn't want you doing anything to change the page, the part that looks like code will be flagged as "invalid HTML" and dropped when you post the message.
