posts don't look the same as i typed them

  For about the last month or so, when I type a forum post, it has been posting as one long paragraph although I had started new lines or even double spaces. I can't separate my statements for clarity. I was hoping that it was a weird temporary glitch, but it doesn't seem to be going away. Anybody know what this is? Thanks. Also, what is that "& n b s p ;" at the top of the message box? that has been there ever since this has been happening. This is really weird, it's not part of the post, but it's there in the message box while I'm typing.

Didn't know where to post this. Should I have put it upstairs?

No. It'd be back here in two shakes.

Down here we ignore welcome you with open arms.

Firefox 6 perhaps? My posts have done that, too, since it got upgraded from FF5. There's a thread here somewhere. Here's one link. There's another thread that may have more info. http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.aspx?m=2377907 In case you were curious, I've written this message in a block format with spaces blank lines after "somewhere", "info" and after the link.

You're welcome. In my case, I'm pretty sure it was the upgrade. I'd been posting normally one night and when I shut down FF automatically upgraded. The next day, everything in the forums went whacky. I like you're Arp Odyssey avatar. Good luck with your quest.

In light of the fact that FF6 is causing the same problems with other users on the forum, I have to go along and say that must be the culprit. My sense of elapsed time is not the greatest. As far as using a different browser for the CW forum goes, I guess double spacing is not that important. I may just type (double-space) instead. Hopefully FF will fix the issue soon with an update.(double-space) Thanks ;-)

hmmm, (double-space) and the plot thickens...

Hopefully FF will fix the issue soon with an update.

My understanding is that it's not something for Mozilla to fix, it's the combination of FF 6.x and the outdated version of the forum software (ASPPlayground.NET) CW's using. All CW needs to do to fix it is to upgrade to the latest version, which I gather is free. If that's the case, I wonder why they don't just go ahead with that, since the problems have been reported in a number of threads.


I'm using Chrome now just for the CW forums.

It is only this forum that behaves that way,, spell check is brockken no spaces, Every time I post I get a big delay now while it re loads,, So you hate to give up Fire fox just for the sake of one ( lousy) forum. I posted a complaint to Fire fox and they got right back to me and in the end they say it's not a firefox bug at all just bad forum software.
