Undo after preview does not work on latest firefox in ubuntu 14.04. Not really a major problem, though.

Latest Firefox on win 8.1, for me. It isn't really important, was just pointing it out.

I don't see myself disabling nested quotes, but there are probably some better defaults. Maybe by default "Reply" doesn't grab any of the nested quotes and there's a "Full Reply" button that does. Or maybe there's a "Toggle Advanced Mode" user-option that adds buttons beyond "Reply" and "Edit".

Mahz

I believe that would be a much more viable option. Or maybe a "reply" button that only quotes the new text, minus the quotes, and a "quote" button, which grabs it all. Whatever you choose, I believe it's a great idea to make it a separate option.

Placing two spaces between sentences that run over into a second line causes the to sentences to overlap. Here is an example that shows this happening. "Mythology" and "The" are overlapping. I know that this was more of a "if Ares dies", but I don't think the potential of the Greek gods dying meshes well with Greek Mythology. The Greek gods are called the athanatoi (ἀθάνατοι, 'immortal, deathless') for a reason.

They don't overlap for me.

[Ellri]

Nor for us either.

[ravenDivinity]

I see the overlapping.

Thanks. I don't see the overlapping, so I'll track down what's hatnin.

I see it as well (Chrome on Windows 7).

I was using Chrome on Windows 7 when I saw this error. When I switched to Firefox, this error was not there. Edit: Here is a screenshot for those who cannot see the error.

That explains why I can't see it, as I use Firefox.

[Mahz]

Not able to reproduce on any version of any desktop browser on Windows 7 at http://browserstack.com, naturally . Sounds like a straight-up browser bug related to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/white-space.

Hey Mahz, I was just thinking of an unimportant feature that would be nice _{(at least until PM notifications get altered)}: PM Deletion. Right now, I have a couple PMs to myself as notes, and it would be great to be able to delete them because right now they show up in my PMs count and I can foresee that number getting to some pretty ridiculous heights in the future, especially if I keep on using it for RP notes. I know I can make just one for myself and keep editing it so the numbers don't get high, but I didn't think of that until a few minutes ago and I already have a few posts to myself... I'm hoping that in the future you'll be able to figure out a way to have a "new/unviewed" count instead of a total, but I know how hard that is having built a forum myself...so no rush, for real. Also, if you could let an original topic poster be able to edit the Title of their topic, that would be awesome, because sometimes I don't have the best title for an RP at the time that I post it or I come up with a better one later. Anyway, thanks for being so awesome and active! And thank you for BBCode! It's super wonderful!

[The Silver Paladin]

Yeah, I'm having an issue with pictures I post, they don't seem to load. I use but don't seem to show up. I thought it was just on my iPad, but then I checked my PC, and the problem still happens.

The total PM count is a hack until I implement a mechanism that can track unread PMs. It's lame, but it works. I look forward to replacing it with an unread count. PM-management is a heavily requested feature next to BBCode, so it's near the top of my short-term list. I originally wanted to have a system that would show "Hank left this conversation 6 hours ago" and cross Hank off the participants list. And various other bits of polish like that. But I need to just belt out the simplest solution that works and move on. Yeah, I need to make topic titles editable. Should be easy. Threw up a bunch of TODOs to remind myself: https://github.com/danneu/guild/issues

I looked at your post history to see if I could find an example. I saw that you had spaces between the link and the img tags: [img] http://example.com/some/image.png [/img]. I edited your post to remove the spaces and it worked. I'll make it so that the [img] tag ignores spaces. But in the meantime just be careful about extraneous spaces.

Oh, so you don't want to talk to me no more? I see how it be.

[Burthstone]

Is it at all possible to disable colors for a particular user and default them all the white? It just... Is hard to look at them, I dunno why, but I can't stand them. Also, Headers leave too much space after them for my taste.

Burthstone

Maybe a simple button on each post that lets you toggle its colors on/off? That's be simple. At the moment, you have to manually control the spacing between headers and content. Compare:

Two line-breaks

Header

Content

One line-break

Header

Content

No line-breaks

Header

Content

Click "View Raw" to see the code. I had one-line-break in mind when I wrote the header bbcode. Headers, hiders, and some other bbcode need to be tweaked so that they eat the first line-break that follows. Until then, it kinda clutters the bbcode when you have to remove line-breaks to remove extra spacing.
