It's because HTML does not recognize multiple spaces - it reduces them to one space. To get more spaces you have to use "&nbsp" in HTML.

you're not a computer guy, are you? biggrin.gif

has *nothing* to do with this forum. it's part of the HTML specification. *all* websites render webpages that way. no double, trippel whatever spaces, they're all ignored and reduced to a single space ...

i'm 100% sure the old bbs software didn't support "double" spaces either. otherwise, all old posts would have to be full of nbsp's .... and they're not ... that's the *only* way you van get any html page to display more than one space ...

That's funny. I am 100% certain that somehow, some way the old software *did* support double spaces. thumb3d.gif I've been using double spaces between sentences for... a long, long time and never noticed an issue until after the upgrade. I know, it's... wacko.gif

I really don't care though. I'll live I'm sure. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming. driving.gif beer3.gif
