    Default Problem with the return key?

    Strange question perhaps, but is anyone else having a problem with the return key functioning properly on this site? Namely, I press the key and it doesn't advance to the next line as it should. Doesn't do anything in fact. I'm a fairly tech savvy guy but am scratching my head on this one. It appears to be isolated to this site as it doesn't happen on other forums nor in programs like Word, etc. I'm running Windows 7 Pro and IE 10 for what it's worth. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    John,

    A while back they made some sort of an update here on FAOL which resulted in some strange changes like the return key not working. When you reply to a thread, click on the far left button on the ribbon. This will change your font while you type, but it allows the return key to function properly. When you post your reply, the font will return to the standard font used for threads.

    Thanks Jim!!!! Was wondering myself what was up!
    Work is something for people that don't fish.

    Very irritating!

    It would seem this could be fixed easily.....maybe not?
    When you can arrange your affairs to go fishing, forget all the signs, homilies, advice and folklore. JUST GO.

    Same problem here, seems like a tech glitch that could be addressed seeing the age and membership of this site.......

    The problem persists. To overcome it when you want to advance to the next line just use your spacebar to advance to the end of the line. Then your next click will be on the next line down.
