Hey everyone, just got a quick question about the format that poetry is posted in.

When you submit poetry, why does it get posted in one big block with no breaks where the stanzas should be? Before I post the stanzas are all where they should be with the proper spacing and all that, but once it's actually posted it all comes up as one big block. Does anyone know why this is? And how do you fix it?

Oh, and thanks everyone for the warm welcome I've recieved on joining.

There might be a problem with your line breaks. People who have that problem use periods to separate the lines. So:

I'm not sure of the origin of this problem, but that's how others deal with it ^^

You can try switching the post settings to poetry. When you post a new topic, scroll down to the bottom to see "special formatting" under "options." One of the ways to format is "poetry." Never tried it myself, but it's worth a shot.
