Good morning!
I have noticed that recently the formatting of the text box has changed slightly. It used to be we could separate paragraphs by two or more lines if need be, but now when you post your post, the paragraphs become compressed together. This leads to an unfortunate 'wall of text' look to longer posts. Is there any way to return it to the previous way it worked? Thanks.

Also, can you give me a link to an example post, just so I know what I'm dealing with trying to keep it fixed? I want to compile a test page at some point in the nearish future to deal with these and knowing what people want, within reason, is a big part of that. I know there was code to remove line breaks greater than two so that might have been a misinterpretation of how I suspected it would go. Ultimately, that bit is probably going to be stripped for a more reliable and sure method of doing exactly what we want.
Thanks ahead of time.
Sure thing Lissa. The example post was >here< about three minutes before I started this thread. I habitually put two lines of space between paragraphs or quotes. Lately they have occasionally been compressed like this post.
Greetings, fellow travellers.
Does this include the bullet points? I was used to using [ * ] without the spaces but that doesn't seem to work any more (or, it does only work until reaching the bottom of my avatar pic).
EDIT: See? ;-)

Be sure to enclose it in a [ list ]/[ /list ]. In standards mode, that may seem a little quirky but you are basically going against the standard at that point. That will help. It looks like the unordered list doesn't wants to go under the floated left image. Not sure what to do about that.

Is it just my Chrome browser or do the bullets next to avatar pictures always overlap the picture?

It's not just you. It does it in safari and firefox as well. list item bullets tend to be outside unless specified outside of layout. They tend to have a lot of padding applied to them so it doesn't make a lot of difference UNTIL something is floated left like the avatar pictures. Once it's floated, it will ignore any margin or padding that are less than it's respected margin. I'm very tempted to make lists clear floated objects, but that leaves a lot of white space on those post that start with them at or near the top.
Wooot? The bullet points were not there, when I posted and edited the post. The list-command is new to me, I will apply it and see how things go. Plus, they do not overlap the avatar image anymore. Great!

I have noticed 2 problems:
- the different shades of azure are difficult to recognize, the best example was a angry post about a guy thinking he had been wrongly cited, while his post was a nested citation;
- the spacing between the text rows seem to be a bit random.
Sometime I get a empty row after hitting enter at the end of a phrase even if I start a new row of test immediately, sometime I don't get empty rows even after hitting it multiple times.

Direct copy of your post(which only shows a single space from what I can see(though a <br> was added to the last paragraph of the quote). Below should be different. Let's find out. =)
