I'm not sure what's going on - it keeps erasing all my formatting and spacing and defaulting back to the original. For a more readable version, check out: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5035381/1/ Do you find this valuable?

I KNOW!!! I don't know how to fix it. I had to space out my entire "Echoes" script when I added it. It took forever. I don't know why it's doing that. It didn't used to.

Well can you set it up so that its a file that people can download, that way there isn't an issue on its formating not being properly displayed by the system.

Well, it not only erased it all, but when I went and edited it back in and saved, it re-erased it. It's very annoying.

Hopefully people will just follow the link. And review, because I'm a review junkie. ;)

But then they won't match the rest of them. So I'll just put myself through the torture. I'm special that way.

So no matter how many times you erase the mistakes you can always see them. Hmm

I did. Also tried retyping a paragraph. It kept erasing all the formatting, so I had one very loooong paragraph, right justified.

Easier to just post the link.

I'm so sorry about the formatting problems! It's possible that they were doing some system updates this weekend. I will pass it along to the proper people, just in case it really is a major glitch.

Hang in there, people. These issues are usually very temporary! *holds up picture of cute kittens*

I have cute kitties on my computer in a little bed, sitting on top of it. Mama and baby. And a little green alien. She doesn't seem to mind the alien.

Keep in mind that IE does not follow the standard set by the w3c for web browsers.
