    What version of SE PHP are you using?

    Are you using TinyMCE or basic editor?

    This appears to be how TinyMCE works now as a lot had complained to them of the issues. You will want to add an extra space between the paragraphs.

    Yes, I had thought, but In the mobile version of my website that doesn't happen! So if I add an extra space between the paragraphs the mobile version becamoes hideous!!

    You might want a plugin. I'm waiting to get the Articles plugin for my site as it's an author site and we need something with extra features. However, I don't buy things with "core" due to my extra security requirements. It could be something you could use for your site though if you need extra formatting options. Another option is to check at TinyMCE for formatting buttons you could enable but that would be a source edit.

    Actually, I'd rather be able to fix things than buy a plug-in. I saw the Article plug-in in the Marketplace, but I do not seem so useful to my site!

    Yeah, I knew it! But they say that by pressing ENTER in TinyMCE will (by default) start a new block element - typically a new paragraph (

    ). And this on my site does not happen unfortunately (Except for the mobile version)! 

    If I press SHIFT+ENTER, it solve the problem on desktop version, but it doubling the space on the mobile version!

    Have you tried our Atlas theme demo to see if it does the same thing? I tend not to read blogs in mobile view as it's harder to read them for me. Atlas is a responsive theme but that is not something I tested in it.

    https://demo-atlas.socialengine.com/ try there but we need to disable the mobile plugin as atlas doesn't need it. However, it seems to install when we do our auto-reset of the demo.
