Paragraphs and newlines are no longer possible
Since some time the text formatting is completely broken! I can no longer start a new line, or even a new paragraph. The preview will automatically attach the new line directly to the previous one, without any space.

Could be that the forum software only accepts \r\n as a new line. Linux uses only \n.
Funny that this is still an issue in web software these days, as this is something every web developer should know for 20+ years. |

RCK posted the change to newline characters in this post: https://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p...6&postcount=76
Hopefully the change can be refined so it works properly. |

Any idea what caused it in the first place? an update/change to vbulletin, something different on the new server or something?

As TCD indicated, it is likely caused by the patch which RCK applied a few days ago.
Now things are much worse. Even Windows it affected, if you use "Preview Post". I had no problem to remove some newlines after preview, when using Windows, before. But this is plain horror! |

I've asked RCK to have a look again.

Workaorund
I just found that a workaround is to edit the text after submitting it. Then add the missing newlines and save. Still quite annoying. The preview is completely broken.

The workaround for me is to not use the wysywig editor at all.
Click on Switch editor mode button (the "A" on the top right) to disable it. You will see the formatting tags but everything will be as you want. |

I hope this will be fixed soon, it's quite annoying.
Thanks for suggesting a workaround. Testing the workaround: Code:

While the 'fix' seemed to work fine for new posts, for quoting and editing it was pretty bad. So thank you for rolling it back

RCK is probably in the hands of the specific forum software package with regards to what he can do for compatibility. |
