Let's say I was writing a post that had three paragraphs. I'm in the advanced reply mode that allows me to preview my post and I preview it. Things will preview fine - it'll preview what I wrote and show all the paragraphs the way they were meant to be, but now the new post box loses the format. Everything is squished and there are no longer paragraphs.

I'll give you a visual example:

1. I'll enter my text. Notice how there are spaces between paragraph 2, 3 and 4.

2. I hit preview and it previews fine, but look at the message box now. Get what I mean? - Message box is in pink

Yeah, i know what you mean. I do that often and then so therefore for me, i dont preview my stuff at times, i would just post it and then go back to just edit it, because i have noticed that it would not get messed up i mean the format by doing that. but i dont think its something that is wrong i think its something standard XD

Usually when I preview something or Go Advanced I'll just copy everything and paste it back at the type box when it appears. It takes too much time for me to 'fix' everything especially when it's an extremely long post (like my Albums & Discographies thread).

thats because the forums use codes to post. this same goes for the signatures. what i do is before i press the preview button, i copy everything then after i'm done previewing and it looks all messed up then i would paste it back.

Yep, I've been using that trick too. I copy what I wrote before I preview it and paste it when it's done previewing and fix it from there. Just thought I'd report it though.
