The code tagging appears correct when editing, but on preview and after posting, the code text is all on one line.  This worked as expected until fairly recently.

Three examples of posting the same text

untagged
line 1
line 2
line 3
line 4
line 5

using Code tags
Code:
line 1 line 2 line 3 line 4 line 5

Using quote tags
Quote:line 1
line 2
line 3
line 4
line 5


Edit - Looking through some old posts it looks like it is affecting them as well.  Anything with multiple lines of tagged code appears to have lost the LF.]]>

We've added a small but useful feature to the Support forums. When you start a new thread in any of our Software Support or Hardware Support sections, you'll now see a short System Specs panel above the message box.

Just pick your:

  - Operating System
  - CPU / Processor
  - Memory (RAM)
  - Storage type
  - Graphics (GPU)
  - Network device (optional)
 
CPU, GPU and Network are type-to-search — start typing your model (e.g. "i5-8250U" or "RTL8821CE") and choose it from the list. Don't know your network chip? A one-line command is shown right there to find it.
If your exact hardware isn't listed, just type it in or pick "Other".

Your choices then appear in a neat box at the top of your first post, so whoever helps you has the details up front — no more back-and-forth asking "what hardware are you running?". That means faster, better answers for you.

As always, thanks for being part of the community

This is designed to help those that are helping visitors in need of Support, and should cut down dramatically on unnecessary posts and wasted time for all parties.

All Support Sub-Forums eg. Software - Support > Installing Software require mandatory (and Optional) entries of basic system information to help us reach a solution much sooner.

I hope it's ok to mention that none of the images in the Release Announcement are viewable in the UK, as imgur has blocked access. See https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gzxv5gy3qo

All people in the UK can see is a purple rectangle that says "Content not viewable in your region."]]> (01-31-2026, 07:47 AM)valtam Wrote:  Release Announcement

- New ISO size should be around 2.6gb This is between 200MB - 800MB smaller then most of the Top 10 Distrowatch distributions.
- New theme (and possibly icon set) to be announced. Using GTK4 where possible, including Lite apps.
- Memory usage is around 800mb in a VM, will be a lot less on real hardware.
- Firefox (via PPA) will replace Chrome. I believe that having Chrome in Series 7x has hurt us going from what I have read online.
- Btop will replace Htop.

Alpha experiments:

Points to note:

- Wiki will replace Help Manual wording and link at the top of the Linux Lite OS Menu.
- With this new format, anyone can contribute easily, in the next few days I'll be integrating it into Gitlab so people can add to the Wiki.
- Wiki is 80% complete, mostly Contents links to organize.

Feel free to proof read it.

I'm very excited about this change. I hope that most of you are too Smile

Hopefully, this is all now resolved. Still a few bits and pieces to tidy up but overall I'm happy with the result.

Let me now what you think.

Would like some helpers with this please Smile You don't have to be a code genius, just some basic Git knowledge and Markdown.
I've been using ChatGPT to help, so anyone can do this Smile


This should massively extend the Manual (which this is replacing), and it's my hope it will be one of the largest of any of the distros. We can do it!
