Thank you for your replies peeps!

And RumpyBumpy......I promise I will never f*ck with your browser size...lol!

The html coding for a space seems to disappear, probably due to the safehtml.php thingy-ma-jiggy. Tried to edit it but had no luck.

What do you lot think it could be?

<p>&nbsp;</p> becomes <p></p>.

If I use the html editor in admin it works if I enter a <br/> or if I hit enter twice, but as a regular user hitting enter twice doesn't work see more and their is no html button to click on.....not that most regular users would know how to edit their html.

Why is it so?
