Editor strips line breaks

When using the non-rich editor, a default I prefer, all line breaks like this one:  are stripped from the posted content. This breaks code snippits, for instance.

    Isn't that annoying? Yeah, I know the old forums didn't have some of these things, but if it's going to be taking up resources on my workstation-- it had better work!!!

    I don't buy the argument that this was the best forum software that could be found. It's pretty crummy stuff, and I've seen lots better.

    Look on Wiki. There's DOZENS to choose from, many free. These forums are too busy for most software? Please Adobe, get over yourselves if you really think that. Just like Amazon's site is too popular, or Ebay, or Google, or...

    This is a test

    Did you access the "non-rich" editor by pressing the HTML button on the right? If so, you are in HTML mode, and that will explain why it is stripping < and > signs, and removing line breaks. That is because this places you in HTML editing mode, and you need to give the HTML commands for those things, which you will note are happening here in this message.

    yep, if you want to use it, you'll have  to get used to adding in tags. In the RTF there is the >> link that allows you to insert code. Don't know whether it's possible in the other tho. You can also click back and forth as much as you like.
