Photo caption formatting doesn't carry over

tjsky

Hi,

I am in the process of designing my "new smugmug" site, and first off I gotta say that I am loving it so far! The options are, overall, more intuitive than before and I love the new gallery styles and themes!

I have run into one major stumbling block, however (for me anyway). I have a category (now "folder") called "Photo Journal", which, in essence, is my blog. In my photo journal galleries I have used the photo caption to write about the experience of capturing the photo as well as include camera settings. I am tweaking my site in preview mode before unveiling it, and I discovered that the formatting (namely, paragraph returns or line breaks) does not carry over into the new photo captions! All of my text is lumped into one big paragraph. If I hover over each photo, I'll see my photo caption with the paragraph/line breaks in the window that pops up, but when viewing the caption right underneath the photo, it doesn't show the line breaks.

Obviously the formatting stayed (at least in some way, as it shows in the pop-up window text), but I really don't like the idea (not to mention not having the time) of going through thousands of photos and manually re-doing those line breaks. Has anyone else run into this problem and hopefully have some ideas or answers?

Thanks in advance, LOVE SmugMug!

I found that if you have any tags like, font tags, in the legacy caption the whole caption will be
one in in NewSmug. I've been going thru those and fixing them either changing the whole caption
to html or removing the tags.

Also been changing a any tags to

Thank you, Allen... that did the trick! Remove the tags and the formatting comes back! It's still more work that I wasn't looking forward to having to do, but it's not as bad as I was expecting.
