For the interspecies love meme, could you ask the poster to put the prompts under a cut, please?

[thelongcon]

I've messaged them

unpopular opinions meme was posted a week ago

[thelongcon]

The post is down, and I've also messaged the poster about crossposting on bakerstreet needing to follow the schedule for bakerstreet.

Which Halloweeen meme is staying? i wanna tag but i dont wanna do it in the one that's gonna be taken down since there are two!

[thelongcon]

I'm giving the first poster two hours to respond to a PM, but if they don't I'm taking the one without prompts down.

Ongoing threads in whichever meme gets taken down will be saved and made available to players affected.

da

imo, it'd be less gauche to take down the latter one. they either didn't check to see what was up already, which is a reoccurring problem, or they didn't care. less prompts or not, the first meme was up first and it's not like it was done at midnight to be "FIRST"

[thelongcon]

Point.

The current decision is a bit of a compromise, prompt memes seem to be a little easier for some players? But if there are more people posting to the first one, that will factor into which one stays.

There isn't much response to either at the moment yet.

tiny font on the meme.

[thelongcon]

Did you contact the poster? As the meme currently looks like this, which matches comm default.

[(Anonymous)]

have you turned the beta off/on? without the huge font issues (i'm one of the few that has to have the old style on because of how bad some of the issues are for me, i could be a minority, i'm waiting for the fixes for the issues dw has promised and addressed in the maintenance post)

https://i.imgur.com/gzBw2zJ.png

that's how it looks for me. it's a font issue/type issue for the meme, same with the soulmate meme when it crops up which i'm assuming that some people are missing because of that beta off/on thing.

[thelongcon]

That's the logged out view - so whichever CSS skin is used for the comm. The font may be slightly smaller than some of the text below, but it doesn't show as a courier font.

They have a true text command in the code of that first sentence under the image - could be a browser override due to settings

Beta is off, and I keep logged in view on a dark view

[(Anonymous)]

logged out view for me shows it closer to yours, but even the top text is small in that version. if i ctrl + - the view to 90% (which puts all the font size at the way it used to be before the update, the top top text there (have you ever wondered what your character...) is still super tiny.

it might be < tt > without < big >, but either way, for people logged in with the beta turned back so we can see the old view, it's teeny. this is going to be a continuing issue between people who want the old view versus people who have let it update and it just seems better to err on the side of making the font legible.

[thelongcon]

I'm just going to message the poster and see if they'll just take iut the tt code.

Oddly on mobile, tt is in a courier font but is much bigger so IDK what specific settings are thrt makes it so inconsistent.

Took down a mistletoe meme posted today, since there was a general kissing meme posted the 18th

[thelongcon]

Messaged poster of Mistletoe meme (posted Nov 29th) as there was a crosspost to thelovehotel (Nov 26th), though I've left the second meme up.

Need to check: grace period/what happened with seasonal/holiday themed memes from last year or the year before since a lot of winter holidays are coming up and it is officially December tomorrow as per comm timezone
