I just had a total failure of the bullet-pointing automation. I have seen it before in other people's posts.
I am posting using Chrome on a samsung phone.
I wrote an 8 point numbered list on another thread with each point starting with numbers 1-8. It looked fine when I pressed "post" but when the post appeared all the numbers had autoincorrected to 1. 8 items all numbered 1.
I edited immediately to replace each number with a number i brackets e.g. (2) which didn't get autoincorrected..
I will attempt to recreate this in a second post below.
