Ask PoetrySoup Members how to do something or find something on PoetrySoup.

10/24/2016 7:05:15 PM Trey Hamner Posts: 4	I am having trouble with getting my poem onto the high critique portion of the forum page. Every time I do it, the spacing is wrong and it's one, big, jumbled mess. Do I just have a crappy computer? Is there some hidden and magical way to do this and I'm missing it? Thanks to anyone who can assist me.

This is true when I have one space between lines, or two, or three. Each time, when I click the "preview" button, it will appear as one paragraph. If I type the lines into the "Add new post" box, rather then copying and pasting them, then they appear as intended, with line breaks and spacing between lines, if desired.
