Formatting issues
Regardless of source or formatting in the written post, for the last few days my posts have published incorrectly formatted. In some cases, even trying to correct it in the edit mode fails. Here's the latest example https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/33123751-post22866.html

Any ideas?
Thanks.

I was able to edit your post and add some formatting based on the UC Davis link you provided.

Thanks Joel. I really wasn't expecting you to clean that post up but thank you.
Do you have any idea why this is happening though?
It's only started about a week or two ago.
Paragraph breaks on original material almost always are omitted.
Double line spacing reverts to single.
Lists are run together, as you saw, whether original material or cut and pasted from other sources.
Item oneItem twoItem three(I've constructed this post with examples to see how it publishes).

Edit to add - looks like paragraph breaks were retained, except for the parenthetical following the list. Double line spacing disappeared.

Were you editing by using "Source" or just the normal editor? It might just be some weird code on the page that conflicts with BBcode, the stuff we use on FlyerTalk.

Just using the standard Edit function. Some times I can sort of "brute force" the post into shape by double line spacing lists which will sometimes separate the list items correctly (single line spaced, which is how I originally formatted the post). When I've had paragraphs run together, sometimes adding spaces after the last word works to induce the break.
It's odd and just kind of strange that it suddenly started occurring.
Oh forgot to mention, I post exclusively from my phone using the mobile site.
