I was just over on the d20 reviews page when I realized there were no carriage returns in any of the reviews I was reading - everything was one big paragraph. Puzzled, I went back and checked a couple of reviews I had read a few days ago, and now those are missing their carriage returns as well. (Exception: the "bullet" function still seems to work okay.) At least in the case of the reviews I had seen a couple of days ago, I know they were broken up into different paragraphs, but now everything's been smooshed together. Is there something weird going on over there, or is the problem at my end?
Grammar thieves! Quick, hide your conjunctions and apostrophes!
I find this rediculously funny, for some reason.

Yep, I just saw this, checked the review of Dynasties & Demagogues that I wrote (darn, I should write more!) and yeah... they've been sucked out of there! I hope it's a problem with whatever pulls the reviews out of the database, rather than the actual data itself. I find it very hard to read reviews without paragraph spacing and the like.
Yeah, I just tried to read a review of something and couldn't (because of the lack of paragraphs), then started checking my old reviews. They're all screwed up.
Thankfully, when I go to edit an old review, the formatting still seems there. It's just not getting shown right.
And didn't there used to be a tag for italics? ? That doesn't seem to work anymore, either.
(hmmm, lower case [i]s seem to work)
