Whenever you paste text into a thread <br>'s are added after every line so you have to go in manually and remove every blank line.

I haven't had that problem. Maybe it has more to do with where you're pasting it from. <br> is a line break in HTML, so if you're copying from a web page, you may be copying the formatting as well as the text. Try pasting it into a plain text editor and see if it does the same thing there. If not, then it shouldn't here, either. Unless, maybe you're pasting into the preview frame instead of the BBCode frame?  |

Try pasting it into a plain text editor and see if it does the same thing there. I have the same kind of problem... I usually like to compose my posts in a plain text editor, especially when I need to add links and pictures, since it takes a little bit of time to locate all that... Also, I am not a wordsmith, and I may need to do some proof reading, and editing... Then I will copy the text from the plain text editor, and paste it in to a reply here. Then when the replies are posted, There are extra line breaks between by paragraphs. It usually happens when I quote someone or start a thread, but I think I have seen it happen with quick replies too... Thank heavens you can edit posts here, because I have gone back, and removed those extra line breaks... But it still highly annoying. |

I would need an example because I just don't have this problem at all. Try putting some of the problem text in a code tag so I can see exactly what you're pasting, and so I can copy it and try it myself.

Ok, typing a message in Notepad... Now I want a line space... Typing my next line. What shall I say... Now I want a line space... Typing my next line. What shall I say... Now I want a line space... Typing my next line. What shall I say... Now I want a line space... Typing my next line. What shall I say... Now I want a line space... Now to copy & paste this and see what happens... Now I want a line space... One more sentence, and I'll click "Create Post". Not sure what happened there on the second to the last line... But I received a lot of extra line spaces. There should have just be one line space, between each sentence. My first post, should have looked like my second post. In the first post, I typed my message in a plain text editor, and copied the text to this thread. But I received what appears to be TWO extra line spaces. In my second post, I typed my message directly into this thread. It came out formatted as I typed it. |

Thanks for the assist MCDemuth
It doesnt seem to matter whether i copy from notepad or directly from a post. I paste it and everything looks fine and then i hit submit and then everything is double spaced.

MCDemuth : What am I doing wrong here? It all looks fine to me. @vapor8 : Your post looks fine to me. Sadly, I don't know what you are doing differently than I... I was NOT even going to say anything, until I saw that another member was having the same trouble. It really isn't a problem for me, since I can go back, edit my posts, and fix the issue. It's just annoying. |

I'm using Firefox. If you have Firefox installed, try it on that. If not, I'll install Chrome... |

How did you paste it? Preview tab or BBCode tab? And are you using Chrome as well? |
