 * I just upgraded from an older version of WordPress, and [this](http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/6977/untitledwy7.png)
   is how the writing a new post/editing a post page looks like. Does that mean 
   that the old way of automatically converting line breaks and codes and the likes
   is gone?

 * What’s the old way? It’s been so long since the admin panel has been upgraded
   to look just like what you’ve shown in that image. Be more specific and that 
   will help us give the answers you need.

 * I think my old version was 2.0, and as I remember it, it automatically formatted
   anything you wrote.

 * Options >> Writing >> Format
    Is “Users should use the visual rich editor by 
   default” checked off?
 * Users >> Your Profile >> Personal Options (that’s near the bottom of the page)
   
   Is “Use the visual rich editor when writing” checked off?

 * Oh, thank you. I don’t have the Options >> Writing >> Format option, but it’s
   there in the Your Profile page.
 * Thanks.

 * Does that solve the problem? If so, can you mark this “Resolved”?

 * I am having the same problem. I checked Your Profile and the box is checked to
   use the visual editor. I can go into the Code tab when writing and put an html
   formatted page in, and if I just Save it looks fine. But if I Save and Continue
   Editing, or go back to edit the page later, all formatting is lost. I check the
   Code tab again and it’s all one big block of text.
 * I am on the latest version of WP, 2.3.1.

 * Sorry, just realized how old this thread is. But the problem is still there in
   the latest version, so does anyone know of a fix?
