I was wondering if we could implement alternative bullet points in lists, like numbers or other symbols when the site (eventually?) gets updated?

You can sort of use alternative bullets as things are now, but they don't line up as neatly as the dot points do.

A couple of examples because my brain is fried today and I'm not really sure how to explain what I mean otherwise:

How lists usually look:

• Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
• Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.
• Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

But if I wanted to use numbers (or any symbol aside from * in the BBcode) it looks like this:

[1.] Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
[2.] Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.
[3.] Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

It technically works and there's nothing functionally wrong with it, but it's not as nice to look at as the first example. It doesn't line up the same way, which is more noticeable when there's more than one line of text per point.

Sorry for being a pedantic bitch, but it nags at me every time I notice it.

You can get ○ (alt + 9 for alt code) if you make a list in a list, but until Mahz returns, your only way around this is to DIY your own list.

Turns into:

Thanks for that.

It's definitely a good work around for short list items, but the text will still line up under the bullet instead of underneath the start of the text if it's more than one line long, unfortunately.

Is there some kind of occult ritual we can perform to summon Mahz back, or...?
