Editing comments has become a bit more tedious
-
“I suggest that you exercise some patience.”
If this was aimed at me, and I believe it was, I wasn’t asking for a Volunteer to access anything… seeing as how the original question was posted nine days ago I thought I’d ask if anyone got a response before asking the same question again… if you can’t help then stay out of the way and maybe, maybe, stop insulting me.

Before this gets out of control, I don’t mean any of this (except maybe the thanking Dr. comment on another page) to be a personal attack on TimeThief or any of the other volunteers or moderators or anyone else.

Slighty OT for timethief: The practise of adding breaking and non breaking spaces into the markup as suggested is best avoided. The proper place for formatting is in the CSS. But of course the old dilemma is how the guy without the upgrade can hack a workaround. The issue for the poor volunteer is that they are proposing a solution which is best in the circumstances but may not be right in the long haul. It is a subtle distinction but many web standards designers who are interested in these things try and encourage other people to do things properly from the get go. Short cuts bite you in the a** somewhere.
Just my two cents. -
@ atthe404, would you mind taking a look at this thread and giving your opinion? It looks to me like the poster is trying to do formatting on the fly in the code editor, but he says no. Dunno what’s up with it:

@ raincoaster: My best guess is that is tabbing that is causing it. But I add a very big caveat. I am by no means an expert in the editing arrangements. My experience with the beast has taught me to tax it as little as possible by keeping everything simple because if the truth be known it is a monstrosity from hell. Incidentally there is no mention of the browser the guy is using. Could it be a Safari thing? Thanks for your confidence in my diagnostic skills. Probably misplaced in this instance. :)
But we are in the wrong thread really. :) -
No problem. I can’t figure out if he’s trying to format or not trying to format. But yeah, this is not a platform for typography or a format for showing off layout skills. Type, add pix, throw in a YouTube; that’s blogging to me. If you want to change the shape of your periods or make your poems come out in tree shape, not so much. Also, he won’t tell us what browser he’s using. I hope Mark can figure out what’s going on there.
