Keep white space in posts- How?

[karlsnooks]

This must be simple.
For readability purposes, I often include white space.

Seven Forums has the habit of removing my "extraneous" white space.

How do I prevent this removal?

Good People,

Would someone be so kind as to answer the question I've posed?

Thanks,
Karl

I have no idea what you are referring to mate

Me either. What's "white space" Karl? I know what it means in JavaScript, but don't have a clue in reference to forum posting. Is it a UBBC tag or something?

I've just worked out how you did this. Normally would you not get a message to say your post is not long enough?

Neither do I. Maybe the blank line between his sentences?

BTW looks great in the new black skin.

OK chaps.
Now if I write gibbergabbish and then hit the space key 3 times then I expect to get three spaces before gabbishgibber appears. Here goes

gibbergabbish gabbishgibber


And as you see, three has been reduced to one.

Edit: both ways brought the same result.

Back when SF was first set up and I was playing with WYSIWYG it was disclosed to me that it's just goofie and doesn't work as it should on this version of vBullitin.

I have no problem with enter key. My problem is with consecutive spaces and tabs.

The only way I've ever found on these PHP BBS systems is to use the CODE tag...

Gibberish         gibberisher

But that's as close as I've ever gotten. It's actually a browser thing because HTML is supposed to automatically remove double spaces... and what a pain that's been.

Smarteyeball gave you a clue in his post........Seems you didn't pick up on it.........It's the only way to do what you want.

Darn you AirBot you beat me to it.

. . . I have been using this for some time now.

 

[MadMaxData]

Oh okay, I get it now. "White space" = "space bar"

Yep....gotta'....use.....dots.

. . .that's all right Mad . . .we won't tell anyone. . .

You mean by setting the text color to white?

Black text White Text More black text.

(hint... highlight it to see it...)

Nice trick... noted for future....

Whew! Thanks Lee. I've honestly never heard of the space bar refered to "white space" before.

Black text White Text .

No, achieving spaces between words when posting. You have to use.....dots. The spacebar will only give you a single spacing, no matter how many time you press it.
