CODEBOX trouble, submiting skin Options

[LuvsDogs387]

Does anyone know why my code gets squished?

When I try to submit a skin I put the skin code in the codebox code but when I preview the post I notice that my code is squished together to where there are no spaces or seperate lines. When I copied and pasted it in, there were spaces, indents, separate lines and stuff but some how it changes. I was wondering if the moderators add the spaces when they submit a skin or if I might be doing something wrong. I'm also wondering if this is a reason why none of mine have ever been submitted...to be honest I thought two of them were pretty good and its already been past the time to where if they havent been approved yet they are not going to be. Just so you know I'm using the right code this is what I use:

CODE

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com -->
[CODEBOX]code stuff[/CODEBOX]
<!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

So, yeah, does anyone know why my code gets squished?
