your best bet would be to come up with enough spaces to that it goes to the next line(s).

They must be stripping one "<". Try doing multiple of those for the para tag and it may work.

What do you mean? Can't your post in multiple paras in Sulekha CH anymore?

Its a bit like a tree falling in the forest. If there is no one to hear it, did it really make a sound? Likewise with CH posts..

You can't. Thanks to the
excellent bug fix they made. It goes like this. Sulekha was alerted by
many people that there was a bug in their software. They steadfastly
ignored those reports. Then someone started calling the Sulekha office
every few minutes. After she did that for a couple of days, the CEO of
Sulekha called his "programmer" in India. He said, "oye, go take a look
at the forumotion forum and figure out why <!-- doesn't kill threads
on forumotion; then implement that on CH." So the programmer came here,
tested it out, and went over there, and implemented a change. That
change was to strip out the < and > from every HTML tag in a post.
Even the HTML generated by their own rich-text editor. So you click on
bold, italic, or color, or size or any of those things on CH's editor,
you get garbage in your post. I would have given this effort a 5 out of
10 if the original thread-killing bug had been fixed with it. But no,
you can still kill threads.

So, basically, after ignoring the
bug, what Sulekha did was to make a change that did NOT fix the bug, but
made the forum a LOT worse. And some people are still waiting for
Sulekha to fix the forum!

the sulekha ch is parsing html code all wrong. for example command <div> will screw your post (notwithstanding what <<!-- already does)
