Forum format question

Totally unrelated to pensions but every time I post the forum seems to insert two line feeds whenever I put in a separate paragraph with a single line gap between the first and the succeeding one.


Case in point here - am I doing something wrong or is there a setting I should use?
This paragraph is me not deliberately inserting a line feed to see what happens


Edit: If I don't enter a line feed I don't get a line space between the paragraphs at all. It's a little bit annoying when I have to go back and edit every post to remove surplus line feeds......

    what's your Message Editor setting?

    - UserCP (in the green bar above the thread)
    - Settings & Options
    - Edit Options
    - scroll down to Miscellaneous options
    - mine is set to Enhanced interface - full WYSIWYG Editing
    The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....

    Mine is the same, but for some reason I don't appear to be getting WYSIWYG.


    Test line


    Still the same, I'll try to go to a lesser setting

    Edit reason 1: Trying lower editor with less options

    Edit reason 2: Apologies, it now seems to be working i.e. one line feed in editor = 1 line feed in submitted post, weird, sorry for taking anyone's time

    Which operating system? Which browser? What sort of device are you using to post?

    Do you type your posts offline using a word processor or text editor, then copy/paste the text into the forum?

    For me, one hit on the return key takes me to a new line...
    ...like this. Two hits would produce a paragraph break with a single line of white space.
