Guys, i've been having problems with my posts not adding a line between paragraphs, no matter how many times i press ENTER between them. It just mashes it all together on the thread page. How do i fix this?? it's really annoying... for shiggles i'll try it again and see if it works... So did it work?

    Like this >br< just change the signs around so that the mouth points in and not out.

    that seems like a hell of a lot of unnecessary typing...
    why don't the mods do anything about it?

    either way, thanks for the help guys. just have to get used to it i guess. how long did it take you guys?
  • j0z3rj0z3r Posts: 9,403 ✭✭
    It's really not that difficult bacon.

    Here, let me try and break it down.

    When you want to include a line break and make the text appear the way it looks when you type up the post, you have to use an html code line break.

    So, when I want to start a new paragraph, I type in the following: <br>

    So:
    paragraph.
    line break <br>
    line break <br>
    paragraph.

    If this still doesn't make sense to you, hit the quote button above my post and look at all that I've typed, you'll notice a lot of these <br>

    Give it a shot and see if it works for you.

    to make it easy i just copy and paste the breaks. its the fist thing i type when i get onto the forum. from there on out its just "Ctrl+V" every time i wanna have a new line.
