Some people are reporting this, including myself.

I wish I'd seen this before I took two keyboards apart. It's taken me ages to get the enter key back on, after I thought it might've needed cleaning Sad

ErrolTheDragon · 24/09/2018 18:18

The app is working fine.

I'm mystified how anyone could bust return in a browser tbh!

donquixotedelamancha · 24/09/2018 18:25

Weirdest thing. Mee too. Running latest version of chrome on a laptop.

Datun · 24/09/2018 18:26

Same here.

Datun · 24/09/2018 18:27

Although it works if you use the microphone. And just say new line.

stripeswitheverything · 24/09/2018 18:28

How odd.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 24/09/2018 18:29

Same here Sad

LornaMumsnet · 24/09/2018 18:29

Me too - was head scratching for quite some time! This has been flagged to tech - hopefully it'll be sorted soon. Seems it's an issue for everyone across the site... Who broke it?! Hmm

Popchyk · 24/09/2018 18:32

I just presumed that there must have been a critical mass build-up of lost fragments of crisps underneath the Enter key on my keyboard.

SLoisachtal · 24/09/2018 18:36

^"Who broke it?!". Well, Lorna, I think that 'Tech' was tinkering again this afternoon, so .........?

Nacreous · 24/09/2018 18:38

Me too on Safari on an iPhone.

ICantBelieveIDidThis · 24/09/2018 18:47

Return key not working here either. I can't do paragraphs. Is this a way of making us keep posts short?

NonaGrey · 24/09/2018 18:53

I’m so relieved it’s not my phone! I cant bring myself to post anything until it’s fixed. Typing without paragraphs is so annoying.

ArtemisWeatherwax · 24/09/2018 18:56

And me! And I'd just thought of something REALLY intelligent to say Hmm

PestymcPestFace · 24/09/2018 19:06

Help
My return button
Don’t work
Will paste from word work?
Yes you can cut and paste from word Grin

GiantKitten · 24/09/2018 19:11

Me too - iPhone 7 Plus, safari iOS 12. I think it was working yesterday.

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 24/09/2018 19:12

Be honest. You’ve done it to annoy all the people who post on a thread just to say they can’t read the OP without paragraphs, haven’t you?

Squidgee · 24/09/2018 19:31

need to tell Tech to stop furtling in the backend.

MimsyBorogroves · 24/09/2018 19:32

I'm going to have a go.

Mine works! (App, iPhone 7)

C8H10N4O2 · 24/09/2018 19:36

need to tell Tech to stop furtling in the backend.

Testing is a wondrous thing (formatting courtesy of Pages Grin)

LemonRedwood · 24/09/2018 19:37

Me too. Safari on ipad

Notacluewhatthisis · 24/09/2018 19:39

I thought my new phone was fucked. Tested on another site and it was fine.....thank God. Lol

chrisinthesun · 24/09/2018 19:44

I just posted about this on AIBU. Glad it's not just me. Thought I was going nuts! Hope you haven't been hacked @LornaMumsnet Cutting and pasting from WORD is a good idea @pestymcpestface if you want to post a long-ish post!!!

chrisinthesun · 24/09/2018 19:51

Can't get it to work, even with copy and pasting paragraphs.. It does separate the lines though. eg ...................... Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losin' my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind
In between
What I find is pleasing and I'm feelin' fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losin' you it's just no good
You teasing like you do
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind

Type your first line, then press the mic icon by the space bar
Say New Line
Return to the keyboard or keep dictating.

To get a double space, say New Paragraph
