@BBeast: For me, it is more logical to see 3h and conclude three full hours and then some than to see three hours which might not be full three hours yet but may also be more than three hours... Similarly, if someone doesn't have seconds displayed on their computer's (or any digital) clock and I see 23:30 there, I'll assume 23:30:xx rather than 23:29:30-23:30:30 - this simply is how electronic clocks normally work, by flooring rather than rounding. And it'd get rid of oddities like 24h and 1d being different things.
But in the end, it is as you said: a matter of preference. My personal reaction tends to be a raised eyebrow when I see someone rounding time.

@BBeast: This was more of a suggestion for a quick fix on my part, so to speak. Rounding time up tends to come across as a bit nonsensical.

Could always floor instead of rounding.

@Mahz: Just in case you changed anything with the login cookies as you mentioned you might - browser restarts still log me out.

Server's failing for me, too.

@Mahz: Looks like that in PM-conversations, clicking on the thread title, it still takes you to the last post, rather than first unread post. People've been missing PMs on previous pages and being confused due to it.
As a side note, PM threads do not show user titles, either.

As for ads - a semi-harmless Google search can very easily lead to weird ads, in my experience.

Jack, your go on this side again; Legion would not be posting this turn around.

The Prophecy

Domhnall McRaith

The younger fellow - Janek? Jalec? Ehh, not quite... - took note of his comment about whatever they had come across this morning at least making a good story, and offered him a wry smile, "Even if we could tell it well, I doubt that you'd believe us.".
Domhnall shrugged, and briefly lifted his hand to loosely gesture at the dead lohk nearby, "Tha's not planned, either." In his mind he wondered whether the guy would have looked half as ease - not that he looked all that relaxed to begin with - if he knew that they had met Claw but a couple of hours ago and their entire interaction thus far had consisted of merely an impromptu engaging in a fight that technically had not pertained them and one long conversation filled with tentativeness and broken language. Or about his apparent manner of making decisions this day, for the matter.
Jaelnec - or what was he; this variation of the name felt at least more correct than the previous ones - exchanged a few words with his apparent leader, obtaining a strangely determined mien while he was at it, then standing, briefly scanning the area, and turning to face him, at which point he turned uncertain again. As the forestfolk had remained seated, the black-eyed-guy now towered above him. He looked up at the other, awaitingly.
"Could you look after him for a moment?" he asked. "I will only be gone for a moment; the others are not far."
Domhnall's eyes moved to the other man, who probably was by now either unconscious or asleep, then fixing on the beast - who seemed to have resigned himself to treating it as another stop, and was now idly observing the people nearby - in a sideways glance, and then looked back to the younger guy.
"Sure," he replied, in a tone which was at once almost exaggeratedly enthusiastic and yet left the impression of the man being not entirely certain what was expected of him. I am quite sure his beast would rip my head off if I did anything to him, anyway... Then again, there was no telling that the dekkun would not do so simply for touching his human, either - the man had said he would not harm anyone without a good reason, but to hell if he knew what the beast or his human companions considered "a good reason" ... in any case it would have been preferable to have at least one of the beast's own conscious companions around, rather than just the beast himself with his unnervingly scrutinizing gaze.

As some of you might or might not have noticed, the Compendium went down a couple of days ago. It's now back up, in more or less the same (visually apparent) state it was in before, but on a new address. Here: theprophecycompendium.tk

Unless you want those double empty lines (or spaces) in there for some reason. (I have occasionally done so for a bit "harsher" breaks, or on cellphone, where tabbing often isn't as easy than just inserting five or so spaces.) So it can be preferable to not eat anything in a block that is supposed to come out as text.
