    Board problem?

    Could someone please tell me how to add paragraph breaks to my posts? Sometimes I write long ones, and it seems like, no matter what I do, I can't get paragraph breaks into the posts. Thanks for any help!

    Re: Board problem?

    What browser are you using?

    Specific browser software can sometimes have strange effects.

    Also are you trying to indent paragraphs or just put a line break between them?

      I use Firefox, and I'm just trying to put a line break between using Enter. I've never have a problem like this on any boards I've been to, but have used Firefox for years. Perhaps I need to search my enabled/disabled scripts. That had not occurred to me.

        hmm, I don't have firefox on this machine. Give me a moment to download it and then I can find out if it's a browser thing or if you've got a setting off somewhere.

        Your profile setting shouldn't be causing it since I'm getting line breaks pretty easily and I switched over to the text interface your profile is using.

        This is a test of Firefox's text interface.

        This is only a test.

          Okay, going to check and see if changing a script permission helps.

          Here's my line break.

          And here's another to check.

          I use noscript firefox addon, so maybe that's the problem.


          (Ok, that seems to have fixed it, as far as I can tell. I permanently changed that script preference)

                yep, allowing Javascript permits your system to interface with full fledged programming code (I'm biased against html and css) which can create potential issues but it allows a lot of functionality that isn't available otherwise.

                  Yeah, I'm kind of militant about what I allow. I just really don't enjoy reformatting, lol.

                  But I'm sort of excited about the shoutbox, since they're talking about minecraft!

                    Are you asking because the posts go into the moderation queue?

                      No, no. Some randomly seem to do that.

                      The problem I was having was that I couldn't do an "ENTER" and create paragraph breaks on many posts. It would all post as one big long unseparated paragraph, which I found frustrating.

                      I am new, so I understand some going into moderation. It's only logical to help keep spammers at bay.

                      (PS, sorry for putting it in the incorrect forum, I missed this being a "ask questions" forum)

                        The posting system uses Javascript Juni. Her browser was set to ban certain Javascripts and it screwed over her posting ability. Once she turned JS back on, it solved the line issue.
