paragraphs is frontpage discussion posts

[Guest]

I have successfully set up a FrontPage discussion group on our site, but
participants are unable to use "extra" spaces, tabs, and returns in their
postings. This makes it impossible to organize their thoughts into paragraphs.
Is there anything I can do about this?

Thanks very much, Stefan
I've done as recommended (except that I have not bothered to change the font
back) and paragraph formatting is indeed possible now. Unfortunately there
are no longer any soft carriage returns - i.e. text just runs off the end of
the screen.
Also I now find that new postings do not appear in the right hand window of
the Frontpage 'publish' dialog box - though perhaps this is an unrelated
problem.
cheers

Once the discussion web is live, you can not make change local and then publish as you will then
over write the prior discussion web.

Many thanks, Thomas
Seeing as I've saved all postings to my hard drive, however, I could
actually overwrite the prior discussion web and then just return all the
files to the discussion folder or, if the worst came to the worst, re post
them myself.
So if there is any way of getting paragraph formatting AND soft carriage
returns in new postings, I'd appreciate any further tips.
cheers

That is one of the limitations to using the FP Discussion Web/Guest Book components.
