There appears to be a problem in writing paragraphs in user reviews. The paragraph breaks are not being recognized.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? It doesn't seem to be mentioned in the stickies.

Now see - if I had read this topic before reading the 'read this before posting' topic then I would have saved a post! Ah well. ;)

I'm having the same issue as well. I tried copying HTML code from my previous review, that didn't work out as well.

I'm having this issue as well. I wrote up a long review only to have it look like a hot mess when publishe, so I promptly deleted it. Since I saved the text to Word, I'll resubmit when this issue gets sorted out. Knowing GlitchSpot, however, who knows when that will be.

Oh Thank Heavens. I was literalally going nuts playing with the paragraph and break HTML tags. Hopefully this will get rectified soon. Till then, I'll delete my review and post it later !!!

Yes I had this problem with my Tales of the Abyss Review. I deleted it off my page for now.

I just hope that it's sometime this week if they are not lazing around or playing something.

Yeah me too - it somehow added /r/n thingy. I deleted my review though. Whoever is looking at this, if you need more examples, I can repost my messed up review.

It's been acknowledged by the Staff. You may want to look at the stickies.

As of last night 10/16/12, the paragraphs were still not working. Is there an ETA on this fix or a temporary work around?

You may not want to ask what cannot be given overnight - or in a week. Or a month. Or half a year.

It's not like the technical staff at GameSpot absolutely knows how this site works - the foundation was laid a long, long time ago by Pete Deemer, Vince Broady and Jon Epstein, and later added onto by ZDNet (and later after that by C-NET). Whoever laid them is now long gone from GameSpot, and I doubt that they managed to pass on whatever they knew to Lark Anderson, Boubou Guiro and current company - and this current company is small, very small indeed.

That, and whatever newfangled thing that CBS puts on their heads.
