The function InstantASP.Common.Text.Helpers.HTMLizeString() performs the following string replacements:
sb.Replace(Chr(13), "<br>")
sb.Replace(vbCrLf, "<br>")
sb.Replace("\n", "")
I believe the first two lines should be swapped around, because browsers will represent newlines as Chr(13)&Chr(10) (i.e. vbCrLf), so when you do the first replacement, it will become "<br>" & Chr(10), and VB.NET understands the remaining Chr(10) as a further linebreak. Since both linebreaks and < br > tags are rendered as newlines inside < PRE > tags, this doubles the number of linebreaks displayed.
If you swapped the order of the lines, both CR-LF sequences and single CR characters would be converted to "<br>" without any unwanted leftovers.
This bug is frustrating our users, because not only does it mean posts look ugly, each time they edit their posts, the number of linebreaks is again doubled.
Can you give me an idea on when we can expect the next service pack for Instant Forums? Thanks.

Hi Steve,
Thanks very much for the feedback, we'll ensure that this goes into the next version. At the moment we have no fixed date for the next forum update, although I would expect announcements of dates and schedules for that to come in early november, after the final commercial release of the InstantKB software.
Kindest Regards,
James Trott
