But yeah, if that matter hasn't already been discussed, 'white-spaces' would be needed. I've made a few posts with them, only to realize all my careful editing has been fruitless.
Can you elaborate? Not sure what you're referring to.

@Celaira @ravenDivinity: I've been building the Guild's UI so that it scales to all screens. You can change your browser's width to see how it works. On Saturday I experimented with adding a flag that tells your browser to render the site at your screen's width. But it caused too many issues to I turned the flag off. It's just not ready yet, so I'll try again in a couple months when I've made more progress. @Celaira: I'm surprised someone liked my attempt at design.
If something says 18+, is it a sin of any kind to ignore it, provided you act 18+?
No matter what, you're going to be deceiving the other players that respect the 18+ gate. The community only works if people respect each others' wishes and people respect yours. If someone has a reason to put up an 18+ gate on their roleplay, chances are you're going to stand out like a sore thumb for the same reason you'd stand out if you join a "Naruto-fans only" roleplay while knowing nothing about Naruto. No matter how old you act, you still know nothing about Naruto. In a roleplay, you're betraying the trust of the other players and it can be very harmful to everyone involved including yourself. It's also not a safe way to approach the internet, and you may be creating a legally questionable scenario depending on the events that follow. Finally, under American law, if you're under the age of 13, you need a guardian's consent to be here and they need to know that 18+ topics take place here: http://www.coppa.org/coppa.htm. But I saved this for last because there are more reasons to be honest with others than just an appeal to authority.

@Ellri: Not sure. In general I'm reluctant to create tags that we only *think* we need. I'd rather focus on the tags people actually want to use while ensuring enough of the community would want them as well.

- The native browser (Samsung's? where is this thing's version info?) doesn't have smalltext, either, but holy white buttons...
A custom browser from a manufacturer sounds like the fabric nightmares are woven from. Thanks for the info!

Just added an hr tag.


Unfortunately since it's implemented as a dumb search-and-replace, it'll still get rendered into a line even if you wrap it in [noparse] or [code] tags. You'll also have to play with your line-breaks to manage the margin before/after the line.

Just merged the Member Lounge forum into the Off-topic Discussion forum. I believe Contra Fates created the Member Lounge on the Oldguild to handle a class of topics that kept dominating the off-topic forum. We don't need it anymore.

@Mahz: What I had was different (and in my opinion, even more hindering*). I see the occasional smalltext now, too, though ... it even seems to affect the content of some posts, not only signatures.
Did you see this phenomenon before this weekend? That would help narrow it down for me. Once I resolve this issue, I'm going to move on and work on some more core features.
