Alfhedil I am aware. Just in the given instance, it shouldn't do it. I like my first paragraphs to be nice, too, you see.

A hider will eat a tab when it is the very first thing in its content. Definitely noticed it, and found it rather annoying. I think I tried spaces instead of a tab there, too. Those also got eaten.
Is it the exact same issue you were having before, how "Remember Me" just doesn't seem to do anything? Anything smell different from last time?By behaviour, yes. As the last edits dictate, though, the cookie has an expiration date in 2016 ... it simply isn't respected. Tried several times to make sure it was not a browser update or similar one time occurrence messing with it, but no, it keeps happening, and only for RPG. All other cookies seem to work as intended. (FF 40.0.3 for Ubuntu canonical 1.0, at the time being.)
As they say: "There's nothing more permanent than a temporary solution."
(I've personally seen it in the form of TODOs from 1998...)
EDIT: Mind you, Mahz has to code in the restriction anyway, so it's vastly preferable if he does it right in one go, rather than makes an effort to do it this rather questionable way now and then later redoes it properly. (Also: People who have problems with introduction threads typically do not get to the point where they can even announce it. I could name at least one example, but won't, for the sake of their privacy. They only parttake in 1x1es and closed RPs wtih people they know, and being forced to make something like a public thread themselves could actually induce a panic attack if they didn't avoid such things like plague to begin with.)

Here is a sentence: [Sentence]
Now write the [n][st/nd/th] word of the above sentence into the blank here: [ ]
Otherwise I'll volunteer as an anti-bot system myself. I'm around most of the time.

We had the same measure in place before, on the OldGuild, and it worked fine. Nobody complained about it.It definitely wasn't there when I personally registered. I've only ever made two introductory threads on forums during my entire life, both of which due to hard requirements. Neither of which was RPG.
[Do stuff to prove you're either human or AI of sufficient mental capacity] widgets avoid bot problems, too.
I'll also be introducing his preventative measure idea of requiring new users to create a new topic in the Introduce Yourself forum before they can do anything else.Erh... I don't like the idea of mandatory introductory posts. There are a few reasons why I never make them unless I absolutely have to, and generally tend to consider "Introduce Yourself" subforums spam. Did bots get better than humans at captchas and other anti-bot measures already?
Well... Accidents happen; this is perfectly understandable. Slipping and falling is at least easily justifiable, unlike most injuries I manage to accidentally inflict upon myself. My latest achievement was freeze-burning a hole into my right hand ... see whether you can explain that one other than me being a moron and blatantly ignoring work-safety. (No worries, though ... this part of my hand was already scarred, so it's not like it makes much of a difference in the longer run. *sigh*)
Most of the posts are in the archives, if you'd prefer to read them in a bit more organized manner. (So Zerul-City-Posts and companions-posts and other posts aren't intermingled.
- Which reminds me, I should put the rest of the salvaged OldGuild posts up in the Archives at some point. Since I have them as plain text files which are ... a bit less than well-formed to put it lightly, I couldn't write a reliable parser too easily, meaning that I had to hand-copy-paste all of the usernames, dates, and post contents rather than just feeding the script post IDs. ...And I kind of got enough of it after eleven pages and haven't bothered to continue it since. I will, though, at some point. I should have more time for small things like that now (and hopefully I'll get to fixing something or other backend, too).
Otherwise, everything besides the last few posts of Unlikely Alliances are there (I figured I might rearrange the post order - and nothing else - a bit, just so that it won't be jumping between two scenes). Probably will put those up after Jack's posted again and maybe brought those two ends together.
Summary, though... Which point onward would you like it / which branches?

I vote no for colors in IC, and I'd also rather people stuck with the standard font and used bold/italics consistently and sparingly. Pressing enter and tab before switching speaker makes the dialog visually distinct enough.
- Colors tend to be distracting, and since I have rather hue- and contrast-sensitive eyes, most colored text tends to be physically unpleasant to read. It's slightly less relevant on dark background, but coupled with light background I most likely have to skip reading or only skim-read it unless I actually have the incentive to open up a separate plain text editor and copy the entire post over there to read it, each and every time...

Greetings! *raises hand in her typical greeting* Carry on; it's a long morning for me, so I'll take the liberty and enjoy the show.
