Stop spaces from being stripped off post

[FBSD]

When doing a new thread post how do I retain the spaces in a line. Like 8 spaces in the middle of line to create visual effect I have in post? Currently all the spaces are being stripped out by the forum application.

To preserve formatting, use [code] & [/code] tags. Place [code] before the text where formatting is to retained, & [/code] afterwards.

As noted in the FAQ.

There's even a separate page that lists all the formatting codes that are supported.
