    Just an idea - no idea if it would actually be deemed to be of any use, but say, for instance in long politics/AH/Various other threads where a mod has needed to give a catch-all "no more blah blah or bans" announcement, these are very easy to get lost. Would there be any consideration to allowing top of thread warnings to be made, a la:

    obviously better done of course - running out so that hopefully explains the ****ness.

    I can think of a good few situations where a thread announcement style thingey would have come in handy all right. Don't know what sort of effort it would be to set up mind. Only downside I can see would be that it might be a pain in the ass if a lot of announcements get handed out on the one thread. Doubt that would surface much if at all though.

    I suggested this idea or something similar a while back when people were missing or claiming to be missing the in-thread warnings about the Dublin legislation in the Pamela I. thread in politics.

    I meant to post in Development about it but I forgotted. :o

    A sticky post that displays on every page...? Great idea!

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
