For other monks: The rendering problem shows up for me in Firefox, but not Opera or Safari.

Your HTML looks like this:

<br><center>Apples, 216<Br>
<br><center>Apples, Aphis, 228<Br>
<br><center>Apples, Bitter Rot, 223<Br>
<br><center>Apples, Borers, 226, 270<Br>
<br><center>Apples, Brown Rot, 224, 275<Br>

In HTML, the BR tag, like an IMG tag, stands alone; no closing /BR is needed, or even allowed. The CENTER tag, like most tags in HTML, is *paired*, and requires a closing /CENTER tag. By using so many (over 256?) CENTER tags without closing them, you are creating so many nested levels for the browser to keep track of, that it gives up trying.

When I changed your HTML to close (or "balance") the tags, it renders properly:

<center>Apples, 216</center><br>
<center>Apples, Aphis, 228</center><br>
<center>Apples, Bitter Rot, 223</center><br>
<center>Apples, Borers, 226, 270</center><br>
<center>Apples, Brown Rot, 224, 275</center><br>

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
