Add a new plugin to postbit_display_start, title can be Change Extra field \n to Line Breaks, set the order # to 1 and enter the following code

$thread['fieldx'] = nl2br($thread['fieldx']);

Change x to the fieldid for this field. That should work :up:

Thanks but how do I find the field ID? There is no indication of it that I can see.

In the Extra Fields Manager, move your curser over the actual question. It will show the ID of the question.
But, I just tested the authors fix and it does not work for me on vb4.2.2.

I am also seeing this issue with the threadfield description, they are showing like this:



This
is
another

I am getting this same error, except with the free version. I also got:

PHP Warning: mysqli_query(): (42000/1064): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'TYPE=MyISAM' at line 11 in ..../includes/class_core.php on line 1394

I am using vb 4.2.3RC1 - is it that it is not compatible or is there some other problem?

[blind-eddie]

In the product find all instances of TYPE=MyISAM and change to ENGINE=MyISAM reimport product.

[Gio~Logist]

You can just remove

TYPE=MyISAM;

altogether from the xml file., I'll update it now as well.

Is there a way to take the limit off the dropdown choices? I'm trying to use the light version and it only allowed about 10 choices. I need it to allow around 50-100 choices for a drop down field.
