Non-Breaking Spaces are Gone


Website Feedback


Not sure what happened, but it seems like non-breaking spaces are no longer working in character profiles or in posts. It appears that they are either getting converted into normal spaces or being removed.

I've confirmed this in Chrome, IE9, FF, and Safari.

Example:
t    e s t
There should be...

  • 4 nbsps between T and E
  • 1 nbsp between E and S
  • 1 normal space between S and T

Can you please roll-back whatever change is causing this? Using Alt+0160 is the only means we've got to attempt to indent and align text. The intro/title to my PbP game used to be nicely centered. Similarly, the skills in all of my character profiles used to be nice and tidy with the modifiers appearing to be right-aligned in a single column like in Excel. Now everything is left-aligned (because of the missing NBSPs) and it looks terrible. :(


Testing other special characters...

Any word on this?

I'm pretty sure the software here has always stripped out the extra space I leave between sentences. (Old school, I always double space between sentences, and get peeved when they get stripped out, even if the new style guides no longer require them.)

The only solution I've found to make a table or something look even remotely decent is to put a period where I'd normally put a space, and even then it's guesswork, since the number of periods needed seems to have no relation to the number of spaces being replaced.

We started stripping those recently because some posters were having too much fun with them. They'll be back soon, hopefully later today.

Was it badwrongfun™?


Always has to be one bad apple that ruins the batch, huh?

Well, glad to hear that they should be back soon. I've been really upset at how all the careful formatting in my character profiles (and elsewhere) suddenly went *poof*. Looking forward to things going back to normal.

Thanks!
