That'll be your newsreader thinking that lines starting with "|" are
quoted text. There may be a setting to temporarily disable it, but
either way it won't change what other people see in your posts.

I always use "_" for horizontal lines meeting with "|", though that
might not always be for the best. The suggeestion to use "`" with "-"
is better, but doing it that way would confuse me too much (this
stuff is at the frail edge of my pathetic drawing abilities).

I would have done this sort of thing for the bus, without any real
attempt at asthetics:
