Suggestion-complaints: AN IPHONE APP.  Or at least a mobile skin, a la tumblr.  This is hard to read on phone. I have trouble reading the italics in the recent comments

kaiden in idkfa, about +15Y ago:
It's not enough that it renders exactly the same on the computer as on the iPhone, but you want a skin dedicated directly to your own personal browsing device? Hmph. Yeah, I thought on it.

Well, there are your icons, Robbie. And I think I've got your spacing problem fixed, as well.

Double space is a relic of the typewriter. Break that habit!

kaiden in idkfa, about +15Y ago:
In this case, Robbie's double-spacing effort was actually rendered as two or more spaces, when it should have been reduced to one. So... I fixed the glitch. You can space all you want, but

Wilber in idkfa, about +15Y ago:
Tyrant.  I understand full well that the APA, MPA, and Chicago styles all recommend single spaces after periods, but I was taught a better way, damn it! Double spaces 4 LYFE.

As regards the italics issue, still waiting on that.   As regards the avatars, I'm sorry that I briefly intimated that anything on your site could possibly be related to any

The avatar/profile picture stuff on Twitter/Socialbook isn't necessarily a bad idea, just more complicated than what I have currently. Right now, I only have to store simple, small images. If

I always just considered it a way to make papers slightly longer if ever in a bind...

Green Man in idkfa, about +15Y ago:
I always just used 3" margins and 32pt font.

Was everything bold as well, gotta make your paper look intimidating and serious as well right?

Green Man in idkfa, about +15Y ago:
I would bold and all caps to intimidate the instructor into giving me high marks. Comic Sans was employed if I was feeling whimsical.

kaiden in idkfa, about +15Y ago:
I made sure to employ a lot of M's. Widest character in almost every font outside of fixed-width fonts (Courier, etc.).

kaiden in idkfa, about +15Y ago:
Yeah, you have to get creative, they totally figure out what you're doing if you're too alliterative. Curiously, it's harder to think of words that only contain M rather than just
avatar
Green Man in idkfa, about +15Y ago:
I was hemming and hawing over putting such thought into the post. I settled on alliteration. Truth be told, I just wanted to work in menagerie.  So how would you narrow a search for words
avatar
kaiden in idkfa, about +15Y ago:
In my dictionary, there are 4000+ words with two or more Ms in them that don't start with M, 239 with 3+, 6 with 4+. You could spend some time with the 3+ list to get rid of stuff like

Green Man in idkfa, about +15Y ago:
I think time would be well spent in the 3+ list; whittling away the obscure or veritably unusable. The remainder would serve as a good base to employ in padding the character count of a various
avatar
kaiden in idkfa, about +15Y ago:
Hmm. You could generalize it. Make it care less about Ms, and instead figure out a "word width" based on relative width of letters (A could be 1, M would be 2, I would be 0.3, something

New complaint- on my mac it automatically red underlines misspelled words.  Usually I can left click on them and it gives me suggested corrections.  When I left click in your comment box

kaiden in idkfa, about +15Y ago:
I specifically took out the spellcheck feature that was part of the comment box code because it would actually slow down the browser if you were on a slow connection that couldn't dial out to

Doing some quick research: if you hold Control (Windows) or Command (Mac) when doing a right click, you can override the CKEditor menu and open the native browser menu (which should let you do the

Green Man in idkfa, about +15Y ago:
Ah, that is good to know. I've grown use to Chrome, which just lets me right click misspelled words and grab the correct spelling. At one time it would have been enough to just identify
