As you can see, all the "this is a new line" were posted as part of a single line instead of a new one. Which makes things completely unreadable, especially so for code.

Not for me.
Not for me.

Absolutely not for me.

Copy paste

use 1 Chester's bag of candy
You acquire an item: marzipan skull
You acquire an item: Angry Farmer candy
You acquire an item: Tasty Fun Good rice candy
You acquire Yummy Tummy bean (3)


Yep. Works for me.

Take a deep breath, and remember what makes a good bug report.

What did you do, at an appropriate level of detail so someone else can try it?

What did you expect to happen?

What happened instead?

Since you called out code, have you tried using the CODE tags which, AFAIK, exist to cope with the problem of pasting code and preserving formatting?

Go Advanced and look for the sharp sign. If you're not a musician, look for the hashtag or the pound sign.

facepalm... ok found the issue, the problem is on my side.
if you use a javascript blocker and did not put an exclusion for kolmafia.us then it will eat all the line breaks in this forum.
now that i put an exclusion for the javascript blocker it works.

The post you quoted was originally typed as
Code:
code tags break too.

CODE
this is a new line
this is a new line
this is a new line
this is a new line
this is a new line
/CODE

note: The above had the ] and [ from CODE and /CODE removed so it can be seen.

with javascript disabled (using noscript extension) all the line breaks were removed when posting. Resulting in this (taken from hitting edit on the post in question)
Code:
code tags break too.CODEthis is a new linethis is a new linethis is a new linethis is a new linethis is a new line/CODE
note: The above had the ] and [ from CODE and /CODE removed so it can be seen.

I expected it to not remove line breaks.
what happened instead is that it removed line breaks.

this is user error because I didn't notice I had javascript blocker on.
