Problem or Question:

I have a problem when I post on Blackboard. Why are my paragraphs merging or losing indention when I post in the discussion board in blackboard?

Environment:

Blackboard

Solution or Answer:

It may be that you are copying the paragraphs from your word processor to the message field in Blackboard. One work around is to turn off the text editor button near the message line. After you do that, you will see three options below the message field: 1) Smart Text 2) Plain Text 3) HTML. Options one and two will keep your indentations and spacing intact.
