shrapx Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 This is something I noticed. Maybe I have a setting wrong or something. But why is it when I hit type a new paragraph (like this one) I get a new line on the post.. And if I put in a blank like the post has an extra blank line, like this. I can fix it by editing it afterword's, but it's kinda peculiar. Is there a setting in Explorer or something that impacts this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can fix it by editing it afterword's, but it's kinda peculiar. Is there a setting in Explorer or something that impacts this? It could very well be some kind of browser setting. I use Firefox and have never had that happen. Edit: here is a link of the issue in IE11. These are the reasons that as a developer I hate IE. https://dnntracker.atlassian.net/browse/DNN-3902 It looks like there is no known fix as it's a bug in IE. Either a bug or intentionally designed that way, it can't be changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This^ I use Firefox v44.0 and have no problems at all with Paragraph settings so I would change browsers if you can't fix this bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozendaal Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) I have this problem too in Chrome. I don't know how to get rid of it, but there are ways to hide it. For example, you could just type a dot and make it the forum grey colour (EBEBEB). All you would need to put is a dot. So your coding would look like this: [noparse].[/noparse] This is how it turns out: . . . . The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. . . . Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz. . . . Hope that helped. Edited February 5, 2016 by prozendaal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjc0961 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I have this problem too in Chrome. I don't. I also don't understand how adding hidden periods is a solution to extra line breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slamma Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I was having an issue with smilies at one point. I disabled all of my extensions and added them back one by one until I found the culprit. It was a extension that didn't display gifs until they were completely loaded. Try disabling all extensions if you have any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozendaal Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I don't. I also don't understand how adding hidden periods is a solution to extra line breaks. Well it's a solution that works for me. And that's cool, you don't have to understand. If you don't have the problem that shrpax and I get then at the end of the day you don't really have any place to be stating your understanding of what could and couldn't be a solution, do you?

Yeah, I was kinda hoping you'd explain in more detail how it works rather than be a smart-ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuffle Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 When using my PS3 Internet Browser, I get 0 paragraphs even when I make a new paragraph. So it basically just jumbles all of my paragraphs into 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozendaal Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Yeah, I was kinda hoping you'd explain in more detail how it works rather than be a smart-ass. Just like the original post says, it adds a line break between paragraph sometimes. I don't know if it's got to do with how many paragraphs there have been or whatever, but it seems more sporadic than formulaic tbh. Here are some visual examples: http://i.imgur.com/hxsD5Vp.png?1 http://i.imgur.com/jxVQbLg.png?1 http://i.imgur.com/NZZWiE3.png?1 If you add a hidden period (or text in general) to a line then it's not going to add a line break there because the line isn't "empty". Therefore, that's why adding hidden periods is in fact a solution to extra line breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrapx Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) Period Test . Test 2 It seems to me that simply going back and editing the post is easier than remembering the BB color code to make the dot invisible. It isn't a big problem it was an observation and an annoyance at best. I am interested in the command for horizontal lines, though. I didn't see one in the BBCode guide, unless I glanced over it.

vikebone Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 This could also have something to do with how the vBulletin software handles the posts. It may insert the line breaks automatically to ensure that the text displays properly for all browsers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
