Players, please remember not to pur spaces between selections. ‘also you pick thirteen and not ten, with three alternates. I will give one reminder and after that nothing willl be counted.

It’s forcing me to double-space. I tried setting it to single spacing and I don’t see any way to do so. ---

There is a button in the top left of the reply window that you can toggle between “M(down arrow)” and “A”. I have no idea what those mean, but if you set it on “M(down arrow)” it will single-space instead of double-space. ---

> [@Wheelz](#): > > I have no idea what those mean M ⬇ means _Markdown_, which is a plain text editor, where if you want fancy effects you can enter special code. The A represents _WYSIWYG_, which means you won’t see the special code language (entered by the various buttons above), it will just show their effects. ---
