Something's gone horribly wrong with the post editor on here.

This is what I actually typed

http://min.us/ln6tVE

But this is what I got when I "previewed" it

http://min.us/lnBgjA

and this is the post

http://www.gramophone.co.uk/forum/recordings/online-jukebox-of-historic-classical-recordings

Please could you look into this, as it's very frustrating to have a carefully formatted message mangled up - plus it makes it much harder for people to read.

RE: Problems with posting

Not sure 'something's gone horribly wrong'.

Your 'online jukebox' post is using 'div' tags at paragraph breaks, rather than 'p' or '/p', and this is what has caused it to lose its formatting.

But it's the forum system that inserted the DIV tags.  I simply wrote the text in the editor provided.

Strange

It only seems to have happened in that post you made about online jukeboxes...

Good morning Andrew

Very strange yes.  I even copied the text via a plaintext editor to ensure that it was just text.

Ah well, hopefully it was just a one-off glitch.

Hopefully it was, but I will flag this up to those who understand what goes on under the bonnet of the site, just in case.

RE: Problems with posting

I've had a lot of trouble posting recently too.

Whether or not it's connected with the problems above, I've found that clicking on 'Disable rich-text' (just below the Comment box) has made the difference. Why I'm not sure - but it's worked for me.
