Nope mate, just hit enter to start a new line as if you were using outlook/word or some other similar program

Not if its in work shy mode. you then have to put

with out the spaces.

Really? I dont and i use work shy mode :biggreen:

I think some places use monitoring software that actively scrutinises both incoming and outgoing traffic to user-generated content sites such as forums and social networks.

there was one at my former work which would block me from reading my posts if I swore too much!

that is what mangles the formatting your posts sometimes, as well on occasions overloaded proxy servers and gateways in offices (bear in mind at work you are sharing your connection with way more people than in your home).

Not everyone at work will experience these problems as they depend on a lot of variables and different places use different software and hardware solutions for both access and monitoring.

Your employers should by law tell you your usage is monitored if this is the case but have no obligation to give you details on the measures in use. Exactly how paranoid you need to be of monitoring software depends on your employers Internet usage policies.

Lots of places just run this software but don’t really delve into the reports deeply unless someone is not performing well enough in their job or is actively doing far more dodgy stuff online than just posting on a few well-known forums.

I’ve just tested this and I was able to use carriage returns normally. What’s wrong exactly and what browser are you using?

I often use work shy mode when I’m meant to be working 😉 and dont seem to have any problems as I wouldnt know code or anything

instead of pressing enter to put paragraph breaks in my posts i have to put

otherwise it jumbles everything together without any breaks. Not sure what browser it is.. how do i find out?

also i cant use smilies at work, i can see them but it wont let me click on them… i can click on the ones at the bottom, but not the ones to the right…

the browser im using is internet explorer… any ideas
The problems only happen when i am on the computer at work.
