Trouble with typing posts?

I don't normally get on the computer to post replies on threads, unless my reply is super long. I am noticing the forum will not allow me to hit enter to break up my paragraphs causing me to have to type what I want to say in word then copy & paste which then of course I notice some of my words are not spaced properly. Is anyone else experiencing this & how can I fix it? :)

I cant hit enter either. And like I said in previous post MS Word, copy and pasting and Mastiff Forum are not a marriage made in heaven.

I thought it was just my computer as I have gotten a new laptop from work but obviously its not just me! LOL. MM, I figured MS word would prevent me from making spelling & grammatical errors & I didn't think about checking the spacing before I posted. :razzberry:

On the reply area, right above where you type is the bar with the various options for BOLD or ITALICs etc, all the way to hte left is a button with a little A then a / and then a big A. Hover your mouse over that and see what it says, if it says "switch editor to source mode" thats not the problem, if it says "switch editor to WYSIWYG mode" click it and see if that makes a difference.

I was having this problem too-but for some reason it is working the opposite for me.
I could not hit enter & have it work to start another paragraph & when I hovered over the A/a, if I change it to ""switch editor to source mode" I can now use enter to begin a new paragraph, but could not when it said "switch editor to WYSIWYG mode" .

Also-what is this token has timed out thing? It says you have to refresh the page due to token being expired, but if you refresh the page you lose the info.
Is there now a limit to the time you have while typing in the reply box???

make sure you've got the "remember me" box checked when you log in, otherwise I'm not sure what that is.

If you get the token error again, could you please copy the error along with the page URL you are on and explain exactly what you were doing when you get the error?
