James, I don't have any difficulty writing proper paragraphs now that I've discovered that all you have to do is put in a line space at the end of a section as you would if you wrote a letter. I've done it here to show you. Pat

Thanks Janet and Barbara. I was pulling my hair out over that one! I could see other people writing in paragraphs and could work out why I couldnt

Hi James, If you want paragraphs just write "see below" in the body of your message and put your message in as the first reply. the replies seem to accept paragraphs but the message part does not. hope this helps, happy hunting! Barbara

It's not just you, James - relax! This is how you get around it. Just type in 'see below' and then add a 'reply' to your own thread, where you can properly format everything. That's what several people do, and it does make it easier to read! Janet

Hi, Just a quick daft question. Whenever I try and write my messages in paragraphs as soon as I post them they turn into one huge lump. I have tried lines of spaces, hitting the enter key, even a bit of <br> <p> but it doesnt seem to make any different. What am I doing wrong? Could someone please help me so i can groan and says well thats obvious isnt it!
