Test thread — to test things out. Do not lock!

Futzing with pic posting

Aarrrgghh! Only because I can’t leave this empty

When you link to the album, the picture displayed here is stretched laterally. But if you link to the picture, its proportions are more true. Like here —

Is something up with the board? Spoilers are acting weird. Posts in general. I don’t have a preview screen on the right anymore (in my PC.) Is it just me? I closed the tab and reopened the Dope. Should I reboot my laptop?

Test sentence for spoilers.

It looks very different when composing your post: it looks like a box around it, no spoiler tags. Spoiler tags don’t work anymore? [spoiler]Let’s see if this blurs.[/spoiler] No!

Who’s dicking around with stuff???

Test

You tube links are posting!

@Rebo we do spoilers every day in the Wordle game thread. They worked earlier in the day for me.

I’ll test them here now —

… NO they’re not working!

Did this work?

ETA: It worked. But I’m using Markdown mode, not RTF mode.

How do you choose between them?

In the edit box, to the left of the B, there’s a toggle that says either A or M+. Click it to switch modes.

I think that’s because the preview pane isn’t working !
ETA: although you can switch it back on using Dr.Strangelove’s
method above ..(switch to standard markdown (M+))
All very weird..

**T**

1\. As soon as I closed one of the “big” tags, it disappeared.

2\. The /big tags didn’t disappear until I hit Send.

3\. It’s double spacing everything.

  1. I have to insert a backslash between the number and the period at the beginning of every line, or it indents the line instead of leaving it at the left end where I want it.
  2. Now it won’t let me do a line that’s not indented.
  3. When I tried to edit my post in Site Feedback, it
  4. a. wouldn’t let me and
  5. b. disappeared the post after I gave up on editing it.
  6. See what I mean about being forced into an indented numbered list? I wrote the above three lines as one single line, and then, when I assumed it would accept the a and b as beginning a new list and hit enter, it kept going with the numbered list instead.
  7. Samsung laptop, Windows 10 (I think), Chrome, SD dark
  8. And the backslashes didn’t disappear when I posted this.

Testing something.

Harrumph.

I don’t like spontaneous change. I like things to stay the same. So sue me.

That is all. Just ignore me.

Correction: It’s double spacing everything that’s not part of a numbered list (and possibly, I suppose, a bulleted list).

I’m not a fan of most editors (including Word) defaulting now to double-spacing on enter now either. However, you can avoid this by hitting ctrl-enter instead of enter (or using Markdown mode).

Sorry, that should be shift-enter, not ctrl-enter.

I’m not a fan of anything that changes what I type to what someone else thinks I should have typed.

The change is in the meaning of the enter key. Before, it meant a linefeed. Now, it means new paragraph.

Like I said, I’m not a fan either. But Word/Outlook started doing this ages ago so that you could change paragraph spacing independently of other factors (say, if you wanted 1.5 lines between paragraphs instead of 2).
