Recently when I post I've noticed that if I leave a single blank line between paragraphs, when I look at the end result it's actually put two lines in there instead of one. Like this :) Any ideas? Judging by the line spacing on some other posts, I'm not alone in this. Using Firefox, latest version on Windows 10 if that's…

Hi Alun,

This sounds similar to the issue faced here: https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057886081

In Firefox, you can turn this behavior off by typing 'about:config' in your address bar, and then searching for "editor.use_div_for_default_newlines".
Change the value of this entry to 'false'.

Cheers for that. I found that I had to go and edit posts as it always looked long winded and all over the shop. Firefox also!
