Hey all.

I'm having trouble editing my charms and text such that it will appear pretty and within the normal screen size. Any suggestions? i tried the "\\" notation, and using semicolons dosen't seem to work either.... i'm sure it's jsut because i'm inept and unable to do even simple html coding, but i coudl use some help. =)

Umm, how about ExaltedNumerology and ExaltedTarot ? Honestly, I am not 100% behind categorizing everything into rigid paths, but people seem to want it. Don't feel afraid to make your own page name.

I think you have to change the relevant font field in your browser's preferences to affect that. Probably under "standard font" or something like that, though it depends ....

If you are familiar with CSS, then you can write up a stylesheet and set it using Preferences. - willows
Whoa! I never noticed that option. You are my new hero. -szilard

Not sure if the right place, but recently, I haven't been able to get any of the high-value RecentChanges lists. First it was down to 1, 3, and 7; now I can only get info on 1 and 3. What's up? - IsawaBrian
