Please help.  My trading thread looks like a mess.  In the old forum I had the choice to single-space between items.  Now, I am forced to double-space everything, and can't figure out how to change it.  Is it just one of the simple icons staring me in the face?  Thanks in advance.

You might be experiencing the same "feature" described in this thread:

You could try making several lists... using return to start a new line in one, enter in another, and control-enter in a third... and see which creates the output you want.

Or, you can use the "Basic Text Box" editor in "Text" mode and you should be able to avoid all such oddities, although it requires a bit more effort and know-how to do anything fancy.

Yeah, I've noticed that sometimes when I reply, I have one kind of formatting and sometimes it's another.  It's very, very annoying.  I don't want a double space every time I hit return.

Thanks for your help LCS.  Ctrl-Enter worked like a charm.
