    Quirk: Forum posts are not preserving linebreaks/paragraphs

    Note: I'm using Opera 9.27 on WinXP Pro SP3.

    Not sure if it's browser-specific, but the forum is dropping paragraph/whitespace and linebreaks when I post, creating wall-O-text. I can force a workaround by manually including HTML tags.

    you can change your options in the edit profile section to have a plain editor. or you can click "html" up in the post toolbar and fix the problem.

    ...Says the guy with the giant sig image. :-D

     

     It's nice to have a usable editor though, as firing up Dreamweaver just for building a message board post is overkill. (And manually typing in the tags is just tedious as hell.)

    giant? that's how big most sigs on here are because that's how much space they give us.

    I've never been big on forum SIG images so to me they're giant, but that's a purely personal-preference thing.

    EDIT: g33k, you've got PM. :-)
