    Default Paragraphs removed when posting on mobile

    This has been bugging me for a while, and has affected a number of other members. I believe it is caused by the "new" green mobile forum theme that was introduced a few months ago. Whenever someone using this theme posts, all of their newline characters are replaced with spaces, nuking all their paragraphs and spacing. This frequently results in difficult to read posts, and frustration on the poster's part.

    To nail down this issue, I will post a reply to this thread from my phone on each theme. Each post will have three paragraphs, at least when I initially post it.

    This initial post is from my PC, on the vB4 Default Style. Here goes.

    It varies. Sometimes it posts correctly, sometimes it doesn't. However, editing a post from mobile immediately screws the formatting.

    This one is posted from New Mobile Style, the first under "Mobile Styles".

    My hat, but it is hideous.

    Third paragraph.

    Finally, here's GunSite Mobile Light, the other "Mobile Style", and the one I think most people use on their phones.

    Second paragraph.

    Third paragraph.

    Well, looks like you're right. I was prompted to post this after replying on the "I go crazy if there is no ****** in the house." thread, and all my formatting was nuked. None of the replies in this thread came out broken. Let me go back and edit each one in its respective theme on mobile quick.

    Actually, let me first do a reply on a specific post, instead of using the Quick Reply at the bottom of the thread.

    Second paragraph.

    Third paragraph on GunSite Mobile Light.

    Ah hah. Based on my edits, it seems the culprit is GunSite Mobile, not GubSite Mobile Light. Second paragraph. Third paragraph in GunSite Mobile.
