Weird. What version of Firefox / Android / what phone model?

(Mine are FF39.0/FF40.0 beta (both work equally well and don't lag), Android 4.2.2, and Samsung Galaxy SII)

It appears that if you use Firefox on mobile, it in fact keeps the text field selected. Both when you're pressing enter to send messages and when you use the send button. It appears to format to 2/5 of my screen being the on-screen keyboard and 3/5 being the chat window above it ... which is about ideal.
So... it is definitely mobile Firefox friendly.

Oddly enough, it decided to turn back into the "R" for me (on the tabs). The notebook-symbol looks very generic to me. Even more generic than the "R", seeing how several pads and programs I use also use variations of the notebook-symbol (to the point where it looks a bit indistinguishable amongst other tabs, though in part it is due to decreased amount of color).

This thing only displays the people who have marked the thingy visible in their profiles, right? *glares*

Also, why is the Roleplayerguild "R" suddenly a notepad symbol?

And why not use the single-letter abbreviations instead of the weird two-letter ones?

Good ideas. Another idea: Pressing up-/down-arrow when inside the input box will cycle through your latest messages. As in, load them into the box. Used to that feature on IRC, like if I typo'd a URL in my previous message and want to re-post it with the correction.

Do you know how many times I have accidentally posted one of my previous messages instead of the new one due to this functionality. >.o

RP Tag Requests

To be confirmed. IE: the GM doesn't know how many characters they're looking for

Uhh... I think this is covered by simply not adding any group size defining tags at the time being.

RP Tag Requests

Modern Science Fiction [...] Modern Fantasy

Wouldn't it be better to have Medieval/Modern/Near-Future/Far-Future/other time-related as their own tags? (And then just mix'n'match: "Sci-Fi" + "Modern", "Sci-Fi" + "Far-Future", "Fantasy" + "Modern", "Fantasy" + "Medieval", etc.)

TBC (for party size) - Explain what this is. The term is unfamiliar.

No idea, either. I find 1x1, Small Group, Big Group entirely sufficient. More'd just be clutter.

I also noted that if you scroll up through the chat, it retains it's position while the chat scrolls on. (Can't remember if it stays there even if you post a message)Could we make it so when you post it'll jump down to your latest message?

Eh. I sometimes like going through conversations and occasionally reply something in between.

I don't believe it should scroll down for every message that appears as it makes it a nightmare to read previous lines.

This. So much this. I've been quite annoyed at active IM conversations which don't just want to let me read the backlog...

What if the Guild had some sort of draw, something that made it unique above all other RP forums, other than the fact that it's 100% custom, since that will be come more apparent as time goes on.

I like that we do writing-levels rather than genres for subforums. The RPs I tended to like always got buried since they had half-a-novel posts and progressed slower. Besides, genres are a vague mess. My fantasy not being your fantasy and space opera being nothing like a 20-years-into-future scenario despite both being scifi and so forth...

I also like that I don't need to "subscribe to see content".

@The New Yorker: Are you still out and about?

@Loud Angry Dead: Any questions, or are you still looking around in the Compendium?
(Just making sure no one feels forgotten here.)
