    Message text has it's paragraphs merged

    Hi,

    I don't know why, but I've noticed that when I write forums posts here and use paragraphs within the message, i.e. have a blank row between sections, when I post the message it all is merged in one clump (such as probably will happen here).

    What is causing this and how can I fix this? The most oddest thing is, when I edit my post, it shows again correctly (Paragrahps are no longer clumped), but as soon as I save it, the paragraphs are clumped into one big and awful to read message.

    Help please.

    In order to get the paragraph styling, you must wrap each paragraph in a <p> tag. Here's an example:

    <p>This is a sample paragraph.</p>
    <p>Another sample...</p>

    Once you have made your changes, you can preview your post by clicking the 'Preview' tab.

    As this side is designed with some components that does not work well with some web browsers, sometimes we see posts like that.

    Well, it is recommended to use IE for this site, but certainly there are other browsers suitable. I am using FF 3.5 b99.

    I edited the original message to include the tags, and apparently the tagging works, however that's a bit tedious to do. I'll try with some Firefox browser next...

    Testing with Firefox version 3.0.1... This is on a new line. And this too.

    Frankly, for all three browsers for me I cant use new lines without the paragraph tag. It's kind of annoying to be forced to use it. Is this the case for others too?
