Apple CONTROL + RETURN

Yep, that's the way to do it on my APPLE

Oh, and a double ctr+return before you add a photo from your album

That's strange Dave, I've used iPad 3, iPad Pro and iPhone 5 on FB with no issues at all. Do you update apps regularly?

I understand the basic forum software and the editor are supplied from different sources.

Resource-wise we have ten forums/websites based on this setup so changing is both more expensive and not as straightforward as if it was just one site/forum.

I appreciate that Neil, I'm sure if it was an easy upgrade or fix it would have been done by now.

I have an IPad with latest software update and annoyingly I have the problem with the cursor, have had the problem all the years that I have accessed this site, always with an IPad. Resigned to the fact that it is just an anomaly with the Apple software.

Hello good evening

This return and carriage feed - or lack there of - is not peculiar to Apple, as my HP laptop running W10 suffers it. My desktop PC running W7 doesn't. I've given up.

So if I reach the end of a paragraph with my laptop, then press return. the cursor goes in front of the first character on the page. I then use the cursor down key to put the cursor after the carriage return and double line feed that have been added after my completed paragraph. I can also use the mouse and L click to move the cursor after the finished para'

I've taken to adding two line feeds and some buckshee characters when I want to add a photo. Then I position the cursor at the first line feed before pressing the camera icon to add a picture. This avoids the annoying placement of the first word of the new paragraph on the same line as the photo itself. The extraneous characters just act as a marker to start subsequent text.

Doesn't have to be a why. I just fixed a work round.

Rgds to all
