Dude just hit your tab key or use the space bar to indent. English 101 :D

Tab doesn't work in web browsers because it just forwards you to the next box/button. There is a "tab" tool in the editor.
I just use double returns to separate paragraphs.

space
more space.
tabs don't work but you should be able to space things out with the [ CODE ] snippet (the boldish # button above in the advanced layout)

No one indents anything. Don't worry about it. Just put a space between paragraphs.
Like when I got to the end of that previous thought up above, I just hit "enter" twice, and started typing again, and wrote, "Like when I got to the end of that previous thought up above, I just hit "enter" twice, and started typing again, and wrote..."
See, these paragraphs don't look too bad without indents, do they?

Yeah, the most important thing to point out is to just use paragraphs in the first place.
It's hard to follow, IMO, the column writing style on a computer screen. It seems alright in a book but once it is lighted pixels my eyes have a tough time staying focused. I have to immediately lean back in my seat to start reading. Then again maybe I just need to toughen up?
Rik writes like that and I take the time to read them because I know they'll be funny and all but most of the time if someone writes like that I will just skip reading the report all together; even if it was something I wanted to read about.

I wonder if he'll take the hint?

Here lies the issue.. I Have done paragraphs and Indents In word and copy paste to here.. same thing, no breals and no indents.. then I tried it on here with indents, no luck.. so i guess its got to be a doulble enter to split it up..:?:

Stop copying and pasting. Just use the reply to thread functions and preview post then. It picks up most spelling errors and that's enough for me.
Don't be concerned with writing your next novel with every post. This is just a forum. Many seem to forget it's just supposed to be fun, enjoy talking about common interest and sharing info.
