    Whenever I break two lines in a topic to start a new paragraph the formatting doesn’t show up in the post. No matter what I do I can only get the forum to break one line. Is there a fix for this?

    Thanks

    A few questions:

    * EE Version
    * EE Build
    * Link to specific page where we can see this

    Thanks!

    This problem happens in all posts throughout the forum.

    If you switch to one of the default themes (say, the grey theme, or developer) - does it display correctly? The code looks correct, so this looks like a CSS issue.  To that end, I’m going to move this to the Design forum to get some more help for you with the specific issue.

    Thanks for your quick response. I have changed the theme to gray and the line breaks work correctly. What code am I looking for in the CSS file to fix this problem? Thanks again!

    I’d look at p tags and any other margin or padding you’re using.  It could be a bit tedious to sort out, CSS often is.  Hopefully someone more advanced with it will pop in here and see it right away =)

    Check your tag style. You have both the top and bottom margin set to 0px

    p {
        margin: 0 10px;
        line-height:1.4em;
        }
