    line breaks in my messages, why does this happen ? —Ray Sanders
   Todd, When I enter a message thru the web interface, then click preview, the raw text (in the edit window) comes back with hard line breaks at the end of each line. Why does this happen ? In case it matters, I'm using MacOS 8.1, Netscape 4.5. This (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
   
        Re: line breaks in my messages, why does this happen ? —Todd Lehman
   (...) Because the form says <TEXTAREA NAME="Body" COLS=79 ROWS=20 MAXLENGTH=65000 WRAP=HARD> It's the WRAP=HARD part that asks for the hard line breaks. (...) No, but I think your web browser is. With other browsers, WRAP=HARD only applies at word (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

     (...) Todd, I have been experiencing the same or similar issues since the big Lugnet overhaul/server switch awhile ago. I seem to be able to post normally much of the time, but I am occasionally getting a "login" screen (read the tos, enter info, (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

     Todd - How much of an inconvenience would it be for you to put in some basic form of link parsing for the part of the news server that accepts posts? Also, would it be too much to ask for some basic tag identifiers to help identify the start and end (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
   
        Re: line breaks in my messages, why does this happen ? —Ray Sanders
     (...) Let me try to explain this differently: in the browser window that I am looking at right now, the edit box for this lugnet message takes up about the left-most 2/3 of the window. The right 1/3 of the window (between the edit area scroll bar (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
   
        Re: line breaks in my messages, why does this happen ? —John Robert-Blaze Kanehl
     (...) Dear Todd, A suggestion: How about a url or link box in each message? I am not a programmer and thus I don't know if my proposal is monumental, heresy, impractical, or unnecessary. My suggestion is merely an idea to address the "wrap" problems (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

        Re: line breaks in my messages, why does this happen ? —Ben Gatrelle
   (...) Doesn't the server do it because you have told it WRAP=HARD. I think I have always had this problem posting URLs from the Web interface even before you did your preview posting change. I post about 95% through the web interface. Here is a (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
