(49,001 posts)You are getting closer, but it is still not right. Every line break that you see in the short lines below is a line break that you put in somehow (except sometimes at the end of paragraphs).
You don't have to fix your text for this message, but it would behoove you to figure out your text entry problem for future posts because it is present in all your posts except those that have only short lines anyway.
The problem could be caused in one of two ways that I can imagine: 1) You are entering line breaks manually at the end of each line as it gets near the edge of the DU Message text subwindow, or 2) you are entering text in another program that is automatically adding line breaks.
#2 is more likely because if #1 applied, then I would expect you would get a similar view to what we see because your browser window would have to be quite wide. If you use #1, check the bottom right of the subwindow to see if there is a little dotted triangle. You can grab that to change the width and height of the text entry subwindow.
The simplest text entry is to just enter text into the DU Message text subwindow and never press Enter except when you want to put a blank line between paragraphs and then press it twice.
