Have you tried the 'Readable' skin? I just switched to it cause I found the font on Spacelab a bit too small. It's a little bit better, but ymmv.
That's what I'm using now. It is the best of the bunch in terms of size. I'd prefer one even larger but this is livable if not optimal.

You can preview all of them by clicking on them. Go through til you find one you like. Hit Save Changes down at the bottom of the page.
Shit, you have to hit save after switching skins? Ok, size issue fixed. I'd have realized that had I tried using one that used different colors.
It's still too fucking small. If someone can tell me how to increase the damn font size , or install another skin with a larger one, without using ctrl-scroll wheel (which makes it impossible to review old posts while replying), I'll be not unhappy with this.
Moderately better. The readable skin is, in fact, readable as far as size goes and still makes replying possible while going back to posts.
Ok, it had to do with screen size. By making things a lot smaller than I like them, the posting works now. For definitions of working that include really tiny.
So I ask again, why did we need this when it worked fine before?
@Thenomain The reply/post window takes up my entire screen and I can't shrink it. It also can't be opened in another tab. Firefox.
@Bobotron You need to click the 3 lines in the top left to get the menu.
I really hate this version. And posting sucks. I liked being able to look back at the other posts in the thread. Why do we need this?
Much like yaoi. It's just not my style.
Doesn't top the story but one time I was hanging out in the OOC room and totally out of the blue was a rather explicit sex emit. After checking WHO, it became obvious it must have been meant for another game since no one had the names used in it.
Strangely, no one claimed credit.

What if the girl also has beer-flavored nipples?
Was that one of the options of that Shang PC? What was the name, Baskin Robbins?
@ThugHeaven Don't forget Asian. (15 automatically makes her a schoolgirl.)

Y'see that, @surreality? DOWNVOTE!
I have no interest at all in @surreality's boobies or tits but I have to upvote just to cancel the downvote.
And if you REALLY want to be safe from the code, go into a private room with a locked exit, create an item then enter the item and RP there. Now that's paranoia.
@Three-Eyed-Crow I never stopped watching PR. Some seasons are better than others; it all depends on the designers. There's usually drama, there's ALWAYS Tim, and the judges are often on crack when it comes to what they like.
@Bobotron It gets around a lot of the paranoia of being spied on and logged without wanting to be logged.
Or just use loggers. Scene starts, someone drops the logger and turns it on.
Wired knew they needed to make the link address read tarantula-hawk because if they put tarantula wasp, no one would click it.
googles Eclipse Phase
Sure, something like that. Hmm. That looks interesting.
Simply put, you've dodged a bullet. Don't run back in front of it.

Everyone has a second bit already approved and in the wings waiting to step in when the first one dies. If there's going to be XP transfer from the dead on, let them just stay in Cgen almost finished until the first dies and then they can use the XP on the new and submit almost instantly. BG and stats could even get pre-approval.
Cgen will still be 'not easy as pie' but there will be no long wait to continue playing.
I would probably not allow XP transfers if I ran it. But then, I would want a truly brutal game.
But yeah, having a secondary character waiting would be cool.
Hmm. You know what could be cool...
Let's say the game was set a bit in the future.. Not a huge amount but enough to account for some advances in biological science and technology. What if the replacement character was a clone? Each time the character died, its brainwaves would be uploaded into a new clone. Obviously, the characters would need to belong to some kind of organization that would be willing to do this for the purpose of hunting supernaturals. But then, you might be saying, there's no downside to being outclassed and dying! Wrong.
First the obvious. All you get from your previous incarnation is the knowledge of what happened. Which is hardly a downside but it's the only benefit. Any equipment you had with you is gone, left with your body in presumably hostile territory and has likely been looted. All XP is lost as well (except perhaps for what was used for mental skills). And on top of it, the cloning process is a little more ineffective each time. Maximum stat caps are lower. Maybe every action has a chance of failure as the nervous/muscular system doesn't work as well. The possibilities are numerous and it would be worse in each successive clone.
Dying, and they're pretty much guaranteed to do so if Coin has his way, means a slow (or not so slow) degenerative spiral into a palsied, ineffective hunter who will eventually be shut off by the organization once he becomes too crippled to be useful.
So sort of a physical SAN loss to use Call of Cthulhu as an analogy. And I'm picturing a dark setting with humans as pets/slaves to supernaturals with the characters as the rebellion.
