Yep still buggered because was trying to post my dittos on separate lines....sighhhhh Hmm

I've just been on another thread and posted without paragraphs - kept it very short - it looks like some people can do it and others can't. Why have only a few of us been singled out for this non paragraph treatment. I'm scared to post anything now in case I get some mean person telling me off for not using paragraphs.

`Me too. OP can you request moving this to site stuff where it is more likely to be picked up? Fails in Safari, Firefox and Chrome for me.

BoreOfWhabylon · 24/09/2018 17:56

Testing. Testing. Testing. Nope, it's broke!

ItWasntMeItWasIm · 24/09/2018 17:56

Ah it's return key because of carriage return! Every day is a school day! Doesn't work for me either.

App vs browser.

I mostly use the app, but there are some things you just can't do in it.

Tawdrylocalbrouhaha · 24/09/2018 17:57

I only came on here to find out what on earth a carriage return was. But I can't do them either! Oh where are my paragraphs gone!

ErrolTheDragon · 24/09/2018 17:59

And the bolding seems bust too (maybe that’s not new).

Boyskeepswinging · 24/09/2018 17:59

Yup, posted when I tried to do carriage return ... grrrr ....

ElspethFlashman · 24/09/2018 17:59

I can't do it either. Wierd. On a browser.

LydiaLunch7 · 24/09/2018 18:04

OP can you request moving this to site stuff where it is more likely to be picked up? There's another thread there already so hopefully it'll get dealt with promptly.

Same here. Better keep any replies short!

BlackBeltInChildWrangling · 24/09/2018 18:06

Same here. Just now. Never before. What a strange blinkin' nuisance.

bumblingbovine49 · 24/09/2018 18:08

Me too. I though it was my keyboard!

MrsTommyBanks · 24/09/2018 18:08

Its so bloody annoying! You are clearly not alone.

l0stmummy · 24/09/2018 18:12

Me too!! I thought my phone was having a breakdown 😂

Sweetpea55 · 24/09/2018 18:13

im in good company then

RustyBear · 24/09/2018 18:24

Workaround if you’re on iPad/iPhone, (until this thing gets fixed) press the dictation key and say ‘New Line’
You’ll get a carriage return. You can either keep dictating or return to the keyboard

0rlaith · 24/09/2018 18:24

Thanks for the clever work around

MaisyPops · 24/09/2018 18:25

I thought this was just me until I saw someone else mention it on another thread. It's like writing all the walls of text.

MissusGeneHunt · 24/09/2018 18:26

Thank god - just saw your post - practiced in Word and got: Hhksfflhlscbd
Jfdpofdnv
Ndsbdkvds
Dnoifdnkfpvnl
But as you can see from the 'but' immediately below the 'Dnoifdnkfpvnl' (yes, I have time on my hands) the return button doesn't work..... @MNHQ - please sort this out!!!

stripeswitheverything · 24/09/2018 18:26

I thought it was just me, so I'm glad to find out I'm not the only one.

MissusGeneHunt · 24/09/2018 18:28

@MNHQ - please can this be moved to 'Site Stuff' ASAP? Just so it can be sorted- you can see the amount of people affected...... Angry thank you!

SpeckledDot · 24/09/2018 18:31

Let's try. Oh
