Editing now?

[Dynaflash8]

With the new format, I can't find "editing" at the bottom of my posts.  Since I type faster than my keyboard can function, I am constantly leaving out letters.  Yes, I should read what I write before sending, but somehow my hands are too set in their ways.

Another lost puppy here too.

I went to the 3 dots and it would not open anything, like re-arranged post.  Why does it dd this to my nice evenly spaced text & paragraphs?

Here it's spaced properly, but in the forum it had many two words lines an no structure.

If there was an electric car in the center of an empty parking lot and you had permission to drive it to get the unconscious owner to the Hospital, how would that deal wind up?

   I had a friend drive up from south Florida to NC in a Chevy Volt.  Got horrible mileage because he had to     drive with the gas generator running full time to charge the batteries.  I had a chance to drive it, but not

   to the hospital.  It drove a lot nicer than the last 1917 electric I drove.  It had a steering wheel instead of

   levers and a "gas pedal" on the floor.   It was smooth and fast and now I understand why the drag racers

   want them banned from drag strips. 

   With the 1917, I was more than happy to have the owner coaching me, but the Volt was easier than a gas

   powered car. 

  Two weeks ago I got to ride in a 1909 Stanley Steamer Mountain Wagon.   It had the same quite power as    the Volt, but more valves and switches than a locomotive.  No, I couldn't have taken anyone to the

  hospital in it either.

Your text has "returns" at the end of of lines. It should only have them at the end of paragraphs.  You also have lots of extra spaces for no reason.

 

Example of properly formatted:

  My post looked just like your Example until I clicked "Submit Reply".  Why does this happen?

Because you are hitting a return at the end of a line.

Paul,

Two ideas...

First, Perhaps you are using the"Enter" AKA Return Key to go from one line of text to the next. You should not do that. The text will wrap to the next line automatically and hitting the "Enter" key at the end of each line of text will screw up the formatting. 

 

Second, Be sure that to edit text you are hitting the three horizontal dots at the top right corner of your post to bring up the edit function in the drop down menu. You may have been hitting the "bullet" formatting button which is two dots in a vertical pattern in the menu a bit to the left of the center of the top of the post. Your earlier reply appeared to have a "bullet" in it.
