^Download my plain text file and open it.
I experienced the same problem at Verve Fanworks. Here's the help topic:

Here's what Mauron told Faust Wolf to do to fix it.
QuoteDisable "Recode line endings in textual attachments" under Attachment Settings.
I don't see any problems with the file you linked to. It opens in Wordpad just fine. Not sure what the problem is you're referring to.
The Damned reported a bug. I couldn't replicate it, so I assumed it was because I'm Linux. What OS do you use, Celida?
(It really is atrocious how little I know about computers despite using them so much.)
So I finally learned how to take a screencap (again). Let it be known that my archaic computer is on Windows XP and that the document is using Word Wrap in Notepad already; turning Word Wrap off makes it even worse.
It's nothing that shouldn't be fixable by meticulous re-spacing, probably, and so it's not a symbol problem or anything. The spacing is just really FUBAR.
Give me a second.
Try this and screencap it. Turn Word Wrap off when you do so.
This will tell me if it's the forum or my OS that's doing it.
PS: Save screencaps as PNG or JPG in the future.
I think its you.
(Okay, use .png or .jpg. I'll try to keep that in mind. I was clicked .gif because it was the first thing I saw that wasn't an obnoxiously large bit-map.)
This new document version works with and without Word Wrap, so, yeah, it might be your OS (assuming Celdia was referring to you as "you" and not me as "you"). I'm not really sure since, as I explained, I'm rather "bad" with/ignorant about way too many computer issues still and I have absolutely no experience with Linux on top of that.
(Also, why are these attachments auto-posting the image? I thought they didn't do that?)
But, yeah, thanks, I can read this version now:
It wasn't my OS, it was me saving them with Unix character encoding.
Windows XP Notepad is so primitive it didn't recognize Unix character encoding, so that's why The Damned's Notepad ate a dick.
Celdia uses Vista or Windows 7, so her Notepad can play nice with the original (which uses Unix character encoding) and the modified one I posted in this thread (which uses Windows character encoding).
I've no idea why the images are fucking up. I made another topic in this board, but it gets no love.
The setting is already disabled. I don't know if Eternal changed it, but it's a problem I often have with notepad... because in windows, usually 0x0D0A is generated when you press enter (in notepad that is) while if you take linux, that will only be 0x0A IIRC. However most versions of notepad from what I know will not consider 0x0A alone to be a line break.

Yup.
