I couldn't find a forum section on forum issues, so...
When I'm reading posts here on the forum, I see a lot of "   ". I googled it and found that it is :
" The entity produces a non-breaking space, which is used when you don't want an automatic line break at that position. The regular space has the character code 32, while the non-breaking space has the character code 160."
And that's almost as cryptic. Can anyone tell me why this is showing up so often ? Is it the forum software, my forum personal settings, or maybe my browser ?
What the heck is   ? on the forum posts

it's endemic to forums that have been transcribed to a different bulletin board version. there are no user settings to hide it,
html has an innate ability to absorb "white space" the &nsbp is often used to enforce indents in text or tabbed tables
on forum posts , the &nsbp dosn't play nicely in text copying between forum data bases
