Can We Fix The Formattin' Stuffs?

Here's a thing I noticed recently.


As a white space aficionado (an' I refer here to presentational formattin' rather than the vacuum many suppose exists between my ears), natchrlly I click on


SPACE


after evry sentence via the RETURN key.


That way, reader looks in on my expert proclamations an' IS SPARED sum IMPENETRABLE WALL OF TEXT.


(As a confirmed snowflake millennial, gotta tellya -- anythin' looks like a PARAGRAPH of SERIOUSLY BRAIN-TAXIN' HARDCORE INFO gonna stress us out so much we gonna lose the lifespan-enhancin' smarts bustin' outta our ENERGY DRINKS.)


See, cos ima bein' DILIGENT here, factorin' in WHITE SPACE to my generous commentary so's I'm so EASY A READ prolly I could pacify a scratchy cat with worms in its ass.


Thing is, as I factor in alla the white space between my sentences an' paragraphs, whenevah I hit the WHAMMY THIS UP ON WF button, you guys white space on out on my ass kinda by default, meanin' I gotta go edit after I posted so's evil tumbleweed don't sneak in to the vacuous panorama thereby rendered cos we got WHITE SPACE DOUBLE, thereby sullyin' hoomanity on a void-centric ticket.


So I jus' wanna check, Sweetiepoppets -- do we got white space by default now ... or is my INTERFACE WITH REALITY bummed out on sum weirdsy kinda tech-ishoo ticket?


Jus' askin' ...


(an' I will not edit this post after btw, despite the risk of invitin' EVIL SPACE WEEVILS into the immodestly open cracks between what ima sayin' ...)

    It's probably just a forum glitch, but it's also, I think, browser specific. I'm a firefoxer so I have to adjust each post before publishing. I don't think chromites need to do that.

    Maybe there's a browser that shows only white space. Would definitely improve some posts.

    tbh Firefox regularly packs the glitchtasmal spasms, so mebbe ima look in next time on Chrome or Joyous Unicorn Exotica.

    Meantime, mebbe we could fix up ZEROWeb -- the ultimate meet-up space for NUTHIN'-LOVERS where mindfulness experts, airheads an' nihilists could gather together an' be unenergetically procreative AF.

      Yep, l have firefox as well, and also have this issue, have tried clearing cookies, and updating the browser, and l think l also tried setting everything back to default, with no change.

      But as Mark said, shift-enter gets around the issue.

      Better than using Explorer, that has its own issues.

    In Firefox, hitting Shift+Enter instead of just Enter eliminates the problem.

    Management is aware of this problem so I hope it's on their to do list but there is a lot on their plate.
