Hey Lowell, I've been seeing a lot of red dashes in posts lately. Was there a software upgrade?
For some reason when you do more than one exclamation mark, they are showing red dashes.
Example (starting with ! and each line increasing the count of ! by one):
One
!
Two
••
Three
•••
Four
••••
Five
••••••
Looks odd when folks are posting... |

It does that to multiple instances of certain characters. It's probably an automatic spell-checking / autocorrecting scheme.
Obviously, this formatting could easily be modified via the prefs/options currently in play that configure the forum. |

Maybe it means you need to calm down Gisty. |

Uh oh. Too many checks.
þ hyperbole filter on
It also censors little things like \rgb{ff0000,\ch{dot}}. That is so annoying.  |

Lowell (rightfully so) doesn't like exclamation points. They're over-used anyway. |

The red dots irritate the hell out of me. In another thread, I was quoting a phrase which included exclamation points, and they came out as red dots. Now my post, on top of (probably) BEING idiotic, LOOKS idiotic. |
