    Default Paragraphs, PLURAL, please!

    Geez, I'm getting tired of trying to post messages that are more than one paragraph! I can't seem to figure out how to have any space between paragraphs, so everything gets lumped into one big, mish-mashy thing. Help!

    I'm not sure what you're saying? Seems like you're saying that the website won't allow you to separate paragraphs, which is wrong, of course.



    I want to post directions of how to separate paragraphs like this, but feel I may look stupid in the process of explaining it; I've done so many things to make myself look stupid, I gotta be very careful nowadays

    After I got a new computer, I was having the same issue in IE. It was annoying. For some reason, I decided to click on the Compatibility View button in the address bar. That worked for me.

    Actually, I know what you're talking about. On my wife's computer, there is no separation between the paragraphs, it's just a big lump of text. But on my home computer and here at work, the same post will look just fine. I have no idea what the issue could be, as I've used all the various OS/browser combinations available to me, and it just happens on her computer.
    Don't take anything I say seriously... I certainly don't.

    Wow, that's amazing. I remember years and years ago writing reports and having to deal with word wrapping issues, but wouldn't think that would be an issue still today.

    I have the same issue. Hitting return, even twice, doesn't make for a space between paragraphs. I also have a new laptop, so it may have something do to with that.

    Same problem here. My home computer using Windows Vista loses all paragraph breaks but my work computer using Windows 7 has them (using IE both places). When I look for the "compatability view" button mountain squid mentions I can find it on my work computer (where I don't need it!) but can't find any sign of it on my home computer.

    Edit: aha, I found the "compatability view" button and it works here at home. I can see paragraph breaks. Thanks, mountain squid!

    OK, the problem appears to be the iPad's fault. I made a post today with my MacBook-- no problem.

    Use Mozilla Firefox as your browser. IE is an intrusive, prying, spying, pain-in-the-butt application.
