Message Center- hitting the Return key on a keyboard submits the message

[+GeoGrants]

When I answer virtuals or earthcaches through the Message Center on my laptop and hit the Return key on my keyboard, it will post my message when I really just want a line between paragraphs or answers. I'm sure this is a setting I should know how to manage but I'm at a loss. Even holding Shift then the Return key submits my message. I simply want a line break. What am I doing wrong? I'm on a  MacBook Air. It's fairly annoying and I end up submitting stuff too early and then apologizing to the CO with a second message. Thanks!!

On the Geocaching.com website, go to your message center.  At the bottom right corner, next to the "Send" button, you should see a checkbox saying "Press enter to send."  Make sure that the box is unchecked.

OMG! I literally laughed out loud. 90% of this game is observing and I TOTALLY missed that. Feels like a DNF! Thank you so much!

So far I don't know anyone who needs this function "Press enter to send.", but I have already received many involuntarily fragmented messages. Just my opinion: If you implement something like this, you should at least not make it preset, but have to activate it consciously...

It was my pleasure to help you!  Perhaps you can return the favor the next time I get stumped on a difficulty 1 cache.  It happens a lot.

This also had me flummoxed for a while until I found Keystone's solution accidently.

To me, "Press Enter to Send" is a useless option.

Press enter to send is a function typically on by default for text messaging. Web based messaging almost universally allows line breaks.  So there is precedent for 'enter to send', but it has always been a (minor) annoyance for web-based messaging systems. Even FB and Twitter allow enter for line breaks by default.
