I'm having, I believe, the same problem as the post I referenced in subject line. I tried the solution, replacing the tag with space, tried without space, tried a   and nothing works. I also tried changing the maxchars entry in the settings file to 45 since I am running the table pretty narrow on my site. Below is a sample post from the gbook on my site:

STEVE: I HAD THE HONOR OF CATCHING YOUR WORK
WITH ------- AT ------
------- AT -------------------- FOR THE PAST
TWO NIGHTS. I WAS IMPRESSED
WITH YOU ON THE FIRST NIGHT AND ABSOLUTELY
BLOWN AWAY ON THE SECOND NIGHT.
HAD I CLOSED MY EYES, I WOULD HAVE SWORN
CARLOS SANTANA WAS IN THE ROOM.
YOU ARE A MONSTER! I SALUTE YOU AND THE ENTIRE
BAND!

This is how the post is displayed in the gbook, before and after trying the solutions I found here. Could it be I'm trying something wrong? Thank you in advance!

Hello Steve,

The solution of replacing the with a space only works for new posts. Already posted comments are stored in the entries.txt file with the tags.

To remove the tags from already present posts you have to download the entries.txt file from your server

open it with a plain text editor

remove the tags that cause the nuisance (keep the tags in the post that are needed for easy reading)

upload it again to your server and overwrite the old file (before upload make sure nobody has posted a new message or it will be lost).

Greetings,
Henrie
