How are people feeling about Discourse?

Needs underlining as a text format option

@JohnT

there is a bug with the automatic numbering system, making it impossible to count down

 10. ⠀
⠀ 9.
⠀ 8.
⠀ 7.
⠀ 6.

 10. ⠀ ⠀ 9. ⠀ 8. ⠀ 7. ⠀ 6.

Ok, that was an ugly workaround and I agree that Discourse should give users a native and more elegant way of doing it. Good bug find, by the way.

I also miss colored text.

Discourse now has MathJax support which can render colors. Refer to these posts:

MathJax has been added in to the SDMB. [Like TeX/LaTeX]

\color{navy}{\text {Okay, this looks like an easier way to do it}} \\ \color{RoyalBlue}{\text {There are a lot of named colors}} \\ \color{purple}{\text {Dozens of them}} \\ \color{ForestGreen}{\text {And if you use the text command, then it handles spaces correctly}} \\ Here’s a list of colors. And this is the the way to do it: $\color{navy}{\text {Put your text here}}$

I Suppose There Should Be A MMP

This is a test: \color{red}{\text{this is a test}} \color{blue}{\text{this is a test}} \color{green}{\text{this is a test}} So, we can encolorate text after all, but it’s a rather messy process. This is the coding, but remove the initial x. x$\color{red}{\text{this is a test}}$ I just created a .doc with the different colors entered for quick copy-and-paste…
