Hello, neat site but I got a problem.
My info used to enable tabs and return spaces, but now they don't no matter what I do. Can someone help me?

I believe it's because you have a > character in there somewhere. I've noticed that if you use either that or the less-than character, the site assumes that you're intending your post to be HTML rather than plaintext, and it behaves as such.<br><br>
Get rid of those characters, or try using <br> at the end of each line to add a line break.

<p><br> tags!</p>
<p>Another forum that won't properly do paragraphs!</p>

<p>It'll do paragraphs, too--you just have to either enclose them in <p></p> tags, or don't give the forum any reason (e.g. <> characters) to think that it should be treating your post as HTML.</p>
<p>But deprecated though they may be, <br> tags are easier to explain and understand if someone doesn't do HTML.</p>

Oh no, I know about wrapping in <p> tags, that's what I tried in that last post.</p>
<p>But <a href="javascript:document.getElementById('main_wrapper').style.backgroundColor = '#fefefe';>this forum</a> really won't properly do paragraphs otherwise. The default (when you don't include any <> characters) is to use <br> tags.</p>

Right now we're kind of between the "HTML is cool! Give users freedom!" and the "Nobody knows HTML! Simplify the experience!" mindsets.<br>
<br>
Amezuki is right about the > character, which I removed and it worked (but I think you added one back). There's probably a better way to determine whether or not the user wants to use HTML, but I'm not sure if we'll continue allowing HTML at all.

I would personally prefer to retain HTML; there's no other way to add formatting and sometimes formatting is essential.<br><br>
Have you considered tracking <> pairs? One wouldn't indicate HTML; the two in that sequence anywhere in the post would be a better indicator except for rare occasions where someone is doing a bunch of math.<br><br>
A regexp pattern like the following should definitely identify any true HTML tag: </?\w+((\s+\w+(\s*=\s*(?:"(.|\n)*?"|'(.|\n)*?'|[^'">\s]+))?)+\s*|\s*)/?>
