Giant notes of nothingness

Think of PM's like emails - once they're sent, there is no taking them back or editing them.

I have no idea why your PM's are adding all that extra space. I've never had that problem.

Now that problem, I've had. lol. What's frustrating is when they only read the last one and don't know WTF you're talking about.

It's odd but the site seems to occasionally duplicate <br> tags (meaning "line-breaks" or a line of blank space) in preview mode.

It's especially noticeable when posting an article. Two line breaks will turn into four unless you go to the BBC editor and correct them. So if you find yourself hitting enter a lot and then moving back up for corrections or to write something else or whatever, those can start to compound to the point where you have a ton of deadspace.

The best solution is, after writing your final line, to hold down delete until the scrollbar goes away.

Yeah, I'm honestly not sure what causes this one.

Some posters will have &nbsp; (same as a line break) in their posts, some won't, for example. There's some browser specific weirdness going on.

"Giant notes of nothingness" read like the first line of an epic poem... I was expecting to blown away with literary greatness when I clicked on this thread!
