it preceded the 2.7 update.
I forgot to come report it.

Is this happening when using the list Markdown, or when manually typing list numbers etc.?
in my case manually typing the numbers,
in editor view you'll see
1.
2
3.
but once you post
it will become like the original poster showed, when if there is text\new lines between iterations that isn't made using Shift+Enter,
then it stats iteration back at 1

what is a list Markdown? I just manually typed everything.
just tested it and you don't need to shift-enter at all. Just enter once can do it.

This is not a bug. This is how markdown works. Markdown is the 'code' used for formatting the forums and is not developed by Soulbound.
As VictoriaRachel said, this is WAI (working as intended.) In Markdown, the formatting syntax used by the CoE forum and many other sites, a series of lines beginning with any numbers and a period is converted to an HTML <ol> (ordered list) tag. Your browser sees the <ol> and inserts consecutive ascending numbers before each item, regardless of what numbers you actually typed in your original comment. You can write 500, 12, 19, 37, 8 and it will still show up 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, because the HTML being served to your browser doesn't actually contain the "item numbers," it's numbering them based on what position they actually are in the list. If you have something in between that isn't part of the list, and you resume the list afterwards, it's starting an entirely new <ol> tag, and the numbers start over from 1. Essentially, it's not a bug in the site, it's a design choice by the people who created Markdown, which the site uses. You can read the full spec for Markdown here.
