Angie169 · 24/09/2018 21:42

I have made a few comments on different threads this evening and not been able to start a new paragraph when I want to , ( like now ) a few others have commented on it too ( and now ) Does anyone know what is going on ? I am using my lap top to write this , is there the same issues on phones / PCs . (and now ) Where are the grammar police when you need them ?

Can’t use return key on lap top or phone

Elephantinacravat · 24/09/2018 21:45

Yes, I have noticed this! I thought it was just my phone playing up.

TerfnTonic · 24/09/2018 21:49

Same for me on MacBook but fine on phone

RollerJed · 24/09/2018 21:51

Thought it was my phone too!

StealthPolarBear · 24/09/2018 21:51

Me too.very frustrating

buttfacedmiscreant · 24/09/2018 21:51

yeah, thought my mac's return key wasn't working.

Seeingadistance · 24/09/2018 21:54

Same here. I thought it was a problem with my Mac. Yep, and still not working for me. Just tried again.

AliceRR · 24/09/2018 21:54

Same!

MyNameIsKarenMyHairIsShiny · 24/09/2018 21:57

Same problem, had to do a word document on my computer and copy&paste it but that's surely no way to live

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 24/09/2018 21:59

Me too. Still can’t.

Smallinthesmoke · 24/09/2018 22:00

me too

There’s a couple of threads in Site Stuff on this, MNHQ have replied that they are trying to work it out.
Return still seems to work on the app, and I am currently using the dictation function on my iPad in Safari - this is how:

Might be worth checking whether the device you’re using has a dictation function and whether it works for this. If you are making a long post, cut and paste from Word /Pages seems to retain line break formatting.
PurpleFlower1983 · 24/09/2018 23:14

Same on iPhone.

Sometimes I think this place is held together with sellotape.

Disquieted1 · 24/09/2018 23:17

Good riddance. Paragraphs are the devil's work.

TheSassyAssassin · 24/09/2018 23:17

Link to an earlier AIBU thread that has MNHQ reply... www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/3375034-to-not-be-able-to-do-a-carriage-return-on-mumsnet-replies

InsomniacAnonymous · 24/09/2018 23:21

"Good riddance. Paragraphs are the devil's work." Why? They just make posts more readable.

Basta · 24/09/2018 23:25

What's happened to apostrophes and question marks? Wink

tapdancingmum · 24/09/2018 23:28

I think I can do them. I seem to be wrong. Typing on my kindle is not the easiest but to not have paragraphs is so wrong.

seventhgonickname · 24/09/2018 23:31

Same issue.Maddening.

BlueBug45 · 24/09/2018 23:33

Yep have this problem on my phone and laptop.

TheSheepofWallSt · 24/09/2018 23:36

They’ve gone. I suspect its the its the ultimate act of trolling by mumsnet, designed to infuriate the paragraph police and the paragraph pushing pandemic that is MN

Singingitoverandoverandover · 24/09/2018 23:42

Oh great. Thought the ham that fell out my donut had buggered my phone. Happy days

ErrolTheDragon · 24/09/2018 23:46

I do hope you meant 'jam'. Ham in a doughnut doesn't bear thinking about.
