How come white space gets eaten in replies

MooseJam

So I was replying to a post your pc specs in building and Upgrading and had it all formatted nicely with the use of white space, but I find upon posting that all the white space gets eaten, is there any particular reason for this ?

Do you have the noscript addon for firefox installed or javascript turned off? If so this will do that.

no neither of those, funnily enough when you mouse over a thread the pop-up box will show the white space but when you open the thread it doesn't display the white space, I guess it must be something with my config so and when you post it does display white space ?

Have you tried clearing your cache? That usually solves most problems.

It gets eaten for regular posts.

You can use the [noparse]

[/noparse] brackets for situations where whitespace formatting is necessary.
