    Re: my post above no. 11090.

    I'm irritated that the site seems to have edited my carefully thought out paragraphing in a manner which I feel is inferior to my actual submission. It's not obvious to me how to put it back to its original format. Can anyone help with this?

    This is probably because you inadvertently triggered a formatting command in Markdown, e.g. the list feature?

    It shouldn't be too hard to edit; just remove any extraneous characters in front of your last two paragraphs and it should display it normally.

    (I find Markdown a total pain and not helpful at all.)

    Also be aware that post numbering is now dynamic and no longer the same for everyone, i.e. it depends on whom you have on ignore, for instance, how they are numbered.

  • Thanks Oliver,

                              I've just tried to edit the post by deleting it and reposting, but the same ugly and irrelevant reformatting has returned. I can't remove the extraneous characters because when I go to 'edit' the text appears as it was originally.
