Rules:
This thread is primarily for making test posts in the event that you are:
An administrator making some change to the forum code and making sure you haven't broken the site (and unless you are mith, Kison, borkjerfkin or Zoraster, you aren't).
Making sure you are able to post if you have been having problems.
Unsure how a particular tag works.
Unless you fall into one of these categories, do not post here.
Don't get carried away with gametag posts. There is some chance that complicated gametag requests will slow the site down.
Don't use this thread for links to other sites (tengaged, for example). It's spam.

DOES NOT wordwrap.
does. So if your monitor resolution is smaller than ani's, you won't see everything he does. That's why is really only good for things with short line lengths, like ASCII art.

Nope. This is a brand new Win7 install, so I haven't investigated available fonts yet, but still, it should have changed font-

I think it degrades more gracefully if the role is on top and the WC is underneath. Then if a multi-line role pushes it into line wrap, the related stuff is more likely to stay 'in' the bracket.

Town Innocent Child Vanilliser
Any player targeting you with an action will become the vanilla role for their alignment.
The moderator will confirm you as town at the start of the game.
You win when all the mafia are eliminated, and there is at least one town-aligned player alive.

Uh... have you tried Ctrl-0 (zero) in your FF browser? You may be slightly off-sized.

Is what - that it won't autoparse things next to the tag? Seems to be either intentional on the part of phpBB3 or very very hard to fix. Smileys will do the same thing.
Place a space before/after the link, after/before the tag you're wrapping it in, and it will work 99% of the time.

Nah, you're right, it's a quirk of the parser. It works for some things but not others.

Unless you've already fixed it, size=100 is working on my machine
(Firefox/Linux)
. First one has the tag outside the list, second has it inside. They're pixel-perfect.
This is another numbered list that was established at size 100 but still does not look like default size. This is another numbered list that was established at size 100 but still does not look like default size.

You still should. HTML (which is ultimately what the BBCode tag is rendering) is forgiving in some situations, and on some browsers, but there's never any guarantee that will continue, and your posts may break for someone else or in the future.
Plus, it's kind to our OCD scummers.
:edit:
In post 509 , Trumpet of Doom wrote: Well, take a look at this:
produces:
i[/i] end
So each [/___] tag closes the most recently opened tag, even if that's not the one it looks like it ought to close.
I'm pretty sure that's because in that case it's replacing [/__] with </span>, so it doesn't care IN THAT CASE what order they're in. It's the same reason some of the block-level tags will end abruply when you nest them; </div> happens.

Yeah, I'm regretting adding a font tag at all. It was SUPPOSED to be used so people could put in a generic monospace, serif, or sans font-family specification. Anything else is setting yourself up for failure.

Arial will be on almost all Windows computers, but not necessarily other operating systems. You're probably looking at a 5-10% failure rate given our site demographics, but it will fail over decently.
http://www.codestyle.org/css/font-famil ... ults.shtml is useful.

That, of course, only works on certain computers. On my phone I see a ton of empty boxes.
