To the best of my knowledge it's not supposed to do something like that (pasting whitespace) and I haven't had trouble in the past, but you never know - it could have been something in the process of copying it from my browser window after running rewrite-rules.php and then pasting it into TextWrangler that added some whitespace....</p> <p>I'll definitely keep that in mind next time I'm copying and pasting anything.......</p> <p>And you're welcome for the donation - as mentioned it was very well deserved! I'm self-employed and have a tiny budget, but I always try to reward plugin and theme developers, especially when they are so nice about providing support that goes way above and beyond the norm as you have :) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/topics-per-page-plugin-new-problem/page/2#post-20566 Sun, 09 Nov 2008 06:48:32 +0000 _ck_ 20566@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>It is possible whatever editor you were using was inserting some whitespace when you pasted the entire thing before one of the lines.
