Been meaning to ask why the text in my posts sits on the black line unless I hit return and put a dot in ??? Other people post and I don't see them doing anything extra :confused:

In this posting I will add the dot so you can see the difference
.
i think you can hit enter a couple of times.
nope that didn't work :confused:
I've always had the same issue and never really knew why it is like that.
It's because you don't have a 'like' under your own post.
Everybody else does.
Stops ya clicking 'like' a half dozen times to make it look good!
Thought I would bring this back up as never got an answer to the problem, johnboys answer wasnt right, anybody know why ???
Other forums using the V8 bulletin software don't suffer this problem only here ???
Post 1 & 2 I see no difference in the message body, what are you typing about?
1 has "Why is it ???" 2 does not is that the mystery ?
I do not see any Black Line - nor any difference in you're posting either.
Might be your computer?
I believe that it's like johnboy says, on your own posts (when you look at them on your computer) the whole line for the "Like" button to the lower right is missing, but it appears for everyone else. Everyone else sees your post just as you see theirs with a space between text and the bold line - the last line of text, then a "space" line with a smaller "Like" to the right, then the bold black line dividing between the text string and the signature area. When you do the extra lines and the period it spaces the bold bar down several lines below what we see on everyone else's posts, which is no big deal. It's how it seems to me, anyway.
I'm sorry, I'm not programed to give you that information.Quote:

So using Joe's post immediately above as an example, on my screen it shows his text line ending with "....joe", two space lines, one dot, then one space line and the line with "Like" before the bold black line. I expect that on Joe's screen it shows that single dot immediately above the bold black line. I believe our own posts look "different" than anyone else's posts.
I have no "Bold Black Line" in any of the posts that I see. I do see a white line just above the signature area.Quote:

There are four or five to choose from, depending on the "look" that you like. I use "CHR", which seems to be very similar to "Use Forum Default", as I like a lighter screen background.Quote:

You can go back & forth at will.
The difference in the posts is in post 1 the text is on the black line, in post 2 there is a double gap.Quote:
