Why not convert linefeeds into <BR> on the fly?

[Unknown,Unknown]

I noticed after posting a few recent messages that I have to manually insert <P></P> tags (for paragraphs), or alternatively <BR> tags where a normal linefeed would be in the form content.

Is there a reason why your board doesn’t do that within the ASP code. Most messaging boards do do that automatically and it makes people’s messages who might be otherwise completely unfamiliar with HTML, look like they intended them to when they submitted the form. Just a thought ;).

(re: Why not convert linefeeds into

Hmmm…… What browser are you using? Are you using the advanced editor, or the standard one?

It has been a while since I looked at that code. I’ll try it this afternoon.

(re: re: Why not convert linefeeds into

(re: re: re: Why not convert linefeeds into

Yes, I can confirm that as well.
