how do i insert a return in my posts?

[JoeBingo]

is there a way to make this a permanent setting?

for each post i'm having to click that button.

Let me see if I can walk you through it. I'll try

1) At the very top of this page on the far right side ... click on "Settings" (it's next to "Log Out")
2) On the page that comes up, look on the left side toolbar under "My Account" ... click on "General Settings"
3) Scroll down on the page that comes up, until you see "Miscellaneous Options"
4) In the "Message Editor Interface" box ... make sure "Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing" ... is checked
5) At the bottom of the same page ... click on "Save Changes"

That SHOULD do it !!!

Here's the shorthand of it ...
Settings > General Settings > Miscellaneous Options > Enhanced Interface-Full WYSIWYG Editing > Save Changes

ALSO ... note this message under the "Message Editor Interface" ...

Depending upon the capabilities of your web browser, you may not be able to use all of these options. If you experience problems when posting messages, try switching to a different interface type.

This is what my "Message Editor Interface" setting looks like. I'm using a Google Chrome browser on a Linux operating system. I don't know which setting may or may not work for your browser and your operating system.

If the "Enhanced Interface - Full WYSISWYG Editing" setting does not work for you ... you could try the "Basic Editor" or the "Standard Editor" setting. JUST BE SURE to "Save Changes" as you try/change the "Message Editor Interface" options.

So ... can you do paragraphs and it stays set for you so you don't have to click the button in the reply box each time now ??
