    There appears to be a problem in writing paragraphs in user reviews. The paragraph breaks are not being recognized.

    Has anyone else encountered this problem? It doesn't seem to be mentioned in the stickies.

    Maybe you want to read this: POSSIBLE BAIT & SWITCH IN TRIBES: ASCEND.

    Now see - if I had read this topic before reading the 'read this before posting' topic then I would have saved a post! Ah well.

    I'm having the same issue as well. I tried copying HTML code from my previous review, that didn't work out as well.

    This must be an issue for everyone, including me. Really hope GS is working on it.

    I'm having this issue as well. I wrote up a long review only to have it look like a hot mess when publishe, so I promptly deleted it. Since I saved the text to Word, I'll resubmit when this issue gets sorted out. Knowing GlitchSpot, however, who knows when that will be.

    It's been acknowledged by the Staff. You may want to look at the stickies.

    As of last night 10/16/12, the paragraphs were still not working. Is there an ETA on this fix or a temporary work around?
