And if so when and why was this changed? That's right, and well done for checking Policy now is that under-18s shouldn't reveal personal details, but 13 is the actual age limit for using the forum. It's a clarification based on our understanding of the law and Squad's desire to protect underage users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jim Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) OK, I do have a real question about the forum... it concerns fonts. When I write a chapter in Emiko Station, I usually start it with a small quote from a song or classic novel... Now, when I'm writing a chapter on my computer, I have about a dozen fonts to choose from. The text is in Arial, but I do the quote using Comic Sans MS. However... I chimed in from my phone the other day, and I noticed the quote is in a much fancier font... some sort of pretty cursive. While I don't have a problem with this, it's got me wondering... why would the font be different? Is it my phone? Oh, I have an LG-7... and would other phones, or perhaps a laptop, have an even different font? Just curious... 4 hours ago, adsii1970 said: I imagine neither I or @Just Jim will ever be in the running Me? No... In all seriousness, I chime in and joke about it now and then, but I really don't want to be one. I'll be the first to admit I'm an old grouch, and there are a couple subjects I have no patience with... and a couple of the moderators already know this... lol.

Must be a mobile thing after all. Would be nice if they could remedy it, that cursive font is really hard to read sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deddly Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 As I understand things, for a device to be able to display a font, it must have that font installed. Some mobile devices (and some OSs) simply do not come as standard with Comic Sans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, those are often used to mock people, and we would prefer people weren't mocking each other on our friendly little space game forum.

adsii1970 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I have seemingly lost the ability to use header images -- or at least they are not showing up. All I see on my profile is a black area. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HebaruSan Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 It seems that if you type K e r b a l S t u f f without the spaces, it comes out as *. Is this intentional, or was an old testing filter left in place? (I hope this doesn't fall under circumventing the obscenity filter.)

May want to post an official moderator-posted thread stating that... or maybe I missed that you already did that. That said, if you don't mind me asking while I'm here posting- hows the moderator team doing these days? I've been last active recently and really don't like that I have been since I miss this community and more importantly enjoy visiting it, especially since I enjoy talking to you moderators . 6 hours ago, Deddly said: For technical forum stuff, @ManeTI But he is the top member of the forum.

Vanamonde Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I'm not sure if ManeTI plays KSP, actually, and he isn't a moderator. He's our forum IT guy. Quote ... hows the moderator team doing these days? We are engaged in a clandestine internal war of assassination and sabotage, battling for supremacy.
