Problems with reviews

Justicar | GameSpot Writer's Roundtable -- a place for aspiring writers
I recently wrote a review for Diablo 3 and noticed that whenever I divided my paragraphs and posted the review, everything merged together into one big wall of text. When I went back to edit the review, I noticed some HTML coding at the end of each paragraph.
It's likely a glitch, but is there anything I can do to work around this issue? Thanks in advance.

Hey there Asagea_888,
it is supposed to work like it used to, you hit the enter key and it inserts a paragraph tag automatically. I've tested this and you're correct, something is wrong. I even tried adding .html and it's still not working. I've let the crew know about the issue.

- Oct 2, 2012 1:22 pm GMTI get these "\r\n" codes all over, and even if I take out any html code, it still comes out as a big wall of text without any breaks. But yeah, glad they're aware of the problem.

- Oct 2, 2012 6:48 pm GMTPossibly. That code is pretty much the same as hitting enter on your keyboard. Sometimes, I do that (hit enter) and gs still bunches up my post. Simply adding that (without the editor on) makes things easier to read.Asagea_888 wrote:2ndWonder wrote:is thisJodyR wrote:

Typical. I write my first review in years and the site's not working properly when posting it.
Will we need to edit and repost when this is fixed, or will it sort itself out?

I tried posting a review very recently, and there still seems to be a problem with the text bunching up together, and with all these HTML codes inserted into different parts of my review. There are no paragraphs throughout my review once it's posted on GameSpot, even though I originally wrote the review with paragraphs, like usual.
Are the GS crew still aware of this problem and are they working to fix it?

You might have to edit it. If the code I posted above isn't working, then the line breaks might not work when it's fixed. I can't say this with being 100% positive, but I guess we will have to wait and see. I doubt you'd have to repost it.

I've got the same issue as well. I posted a review of Tales of the Abyss for the 3DS and all the text just got stuck together into one massive paragraph alonside the HTML Coding. No matter what I do I can't get fix my review.
I hope it gets fixed soon.

I thought it was just me. let's hope they fix this soon - it's highly annoying not to be able to structure your reviews with paragraphs. Anyone found a workaround?
