Discovered today line break or paragraph can be done in face book comments on safari by going into pages, open a blank page, hit return twice, copy all, go back to Facebook, paste in paragraph in comments. After pasting in paragraph hit backspace if only line break required. As long as paragraph is kept on clipboard it keeps on working.
And since my last post I have discovered if a URL is pasted or typed then after that the return key functions as normal.
Therefore now if I want to use paragraphs my first entry would be www.yyy or www.anyoldrubbish (typed in manually)
For example. The return key now functions as intended and I no longer unintentionally post things as the post button needs to be hit to post.
Excellent - well spoted. Don't understand why this happens but your advice works a treat, saves me doing what your first post suggested (which I found myself doing all the time).
Ah, but, I've just discovered, the entering www trick doesn't work if you're trying to edit an entry - unless I'm doing something else wrong. 😝
Great post pat5star. I was about to reply to your post when I came across another annoying thing - not about facebook, but concerning our beloved Apple forum. After reading your post, I realised that I needed to be signed in to reply. This was when I encountered the really irritating thing which happens every time I come on to a forum. You press on the sign in button at the top of the page and where does it take you? - back to the discussion you wish to reply to? NO!! it takes you to a page asking you what your question is. Finding the page you were on is now nearly impossible, unless you do what I do and go back to the Google listing (which I keep open in another window), click on the result there and you can get back to the forum page you were on - this makes no logical sense to me and Apple should get that fixed.
