Auto word spacing - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Redlemon · 02-20-2004, 09:42 AM

In the Mozilla Firebird thread, I've tried to type the word 'about' followed immediately by a colon, followed by the word 'config'. The board software automatically puts a space before the colon. Any idea why? Doesn't matter that much, but I'm curious.

test

about:config

looks good to me... maybe its just you? and are you sure its a space, and not a font you have set to override the default TFP setting? If you use Unicode or Courier or something like that, all the characters are the same width. Not the best answer, but all I could think of.

Yeah, yours looks good to me too.

about:config

And now mine looks fine. Perhaps the computer thread has different rules? It wasn't important anyway.

BTW, I'm using Sandstorm with nothing special.

It happens whenever you quote someone and "about:(anything)" is in the same post. I don't know why though.
