Posting problem on website?

[Jonas66]

Hi, my first post here!

On my website, in the textarea for posts, members have mentioned being irritated by their post in the textarea appearing 'bunched up', and so have to 'return' twice to avoid this odd format?

What I am after, is the formatting of each post (and post preview)- when the sentence is typed in the posting box and the Return button clicked, as the below example-

How it is now;-

The cat sat on the mat

On a Thursday morning.

How I wish it to appear is;-

The cat sat on the mat
On a Thursday morning.

Do I look in CSS? And where? Or is it in one of the templates?

Thanks

Can I have a link to that so I see the issue myself?

What software are you using?

Hi, my site (which needs registration for guests) is http://englistory.darkbb.com/index.htm on Forumotion.

The thing is, the finished posts actually appear as I want them (when guests/members see the website), it's just the post previews and Quick reply boxes before actually posting? Like WYSIWYG is rubbish.

I've looked everywhere in the CSS and templates to sort this formatting issue out.

Did you check to see that this code is not present between the two lines:

Would I look for that in the CSS sheet, or the Template (which)?

That wont be the problem as such. The problem will be in the CSS styleheet but you won't have access to that as your on a free hosted forum so you will be limited. You'll have to enquire about it at the support forum because there isn't anything to do to help.

But for reference, you'd be looking at the post body line spacing CSS, but it depends on how they have the CSS laid out as forumotion doesn't use standard phpBB3 core codes.
