supanoob Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 well i have made my own forum and for the time being my field type for my post body is "TEXT" and i have noticed that when i press enter it doesnt do it, it doesnt make the text on a new line. and i was wondering if there was a different field type that i could use, that would still allow me to use html to format the text.

Maybe a peek at some of your code would assist in understanding what this "didnt work" is all about.
