I have a forum created using the wizard in FrontPage
2000. The posts keep coming out as one big paragraph,
instead of multiple paragraphs, the way they were put in.
No matter how many times you enter down or space over, the
sentences run together. Is there something I can do to
make it reproduce the individual paragraphs?

I have tried to do so using HTML tags (<br> for example),
but when you type HTML tags in the post window, it ignores
the tags and prints them as text. When I look at the html
for the result, it has translated the "<" into "&0372" (or
something like that), is there a way around this?
 
I've not used the feature but maybe you could surround the area where the
information gets written to with <pre> and </pre> tags. this should make
line breaks stay, unless they're getting wiped out when the form is being
saved.
 
I tried that, but it just makes each paragraph one line
that just runs off the end of the screen forever.

I think the key is going to be to get it to recognize the
HTML tags.
 
I followed the directions there. Again, the returns between the paragraphs are now visible, but each paragraph is just one line that runs off the right side of the screen.
 
if you can use .asp pages you may want to use this simple app in place of
the fp disc. web.:

just make the folder into a subweb to keep it out of the way of your other
stuff and prevent publishing conflicts.
