On the forum I'm hosting, when I create a new category - I go to the category info screen. If in my message for the category (description that appears below category name), I hit [RETURN] to add a space, all text entered after that [RETURN] is no longer in the small font, but increments size to a larger font. If you would like to witness this, I can send URL and let you see.

Dayve,

I sent you the URL by email, for privacy reasons. Screencap available here:

http://bax.kleinbuendel.com/test/forumcategory.gif - note the text under Bug Reports increases when there I press return key between items. Maybe this is by design, I don't know.

This issue persists. Have others run into this?

Nope, have not ever seen this happen. I tried to register at your forum, but get an error that looks to be related to the Active Users MOD. Do you have that installed? Could you turn off "Require Registration" so I can see the page in question? I'd like to see a view source of the page.

Another interesting thing - when I replied to your last post, it reads NOT MODERATED by that post. Is that some testing thing?

that just means that you post has not been moderated yet. (approved/put on hold/rejected), etc..

I logged in to your site and can see what you are seeing. But, I also see some other problems. I tried editing that forum description and resubmitting it, but when I resubmitted it, I got an error (and the error message was just some garbled text). So, I think you may have some corrupted files. When you upload the files to your site, did you use FTP? If so, did you make sure that all of the .asp files were uploaded using ASCII mode?

Makes sense. So I can probably see it, but nobody else. Gotcha.

It could also be your site's CSS that might be interferring as well.

exactly. You can see it and Admins and Moderators of this forum can see it, but no one else can.

The CSS huh? Anything specifically within it that you can think might be causing it? I can send you the CSS if you want.

the very first line in your style.css file:

p { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt}

I bet if you change it, then it will change on your page. (for example, try changing it to 7.5pt)

Ahh, yes, there it is:

fString = Replace(fString, CHR(13), "")
fString = Replace(fString, CHR(10) & CHR(10), "</p><p> ")
fString = Replace(fString, CHR(10), " <br />")

Dang. No way to change that to <BR> instead, to maintain the <font></font> tags that the forum uses? As I'm sure you've guessed, I can't go change that <p> tag because others use it throughout site. Is there a different function I could call to format it as <br> instead? Either that, or I guess I could just write a quick custom handler for this, huh?

that section has been in there from before I started working on this code, so I'm not sure on the exact motive behind it. But, I would think you should be able to use:

fString = Replace(fString, CHR(10) & CHR(10), "<br /><br /> ")
