    I'm wondering if anybody else is seeing the sort of inherent symbolism in the current color scheme.

    "The Other Site" is green, i.e., "full speed ahead on Beta and damn the torpedoes!"

    Soylent is red, i.e., "don't fix the interface if it ain't broke."

    :-)

    P.S: Can anybody explain why no matter which post setting I pick, my html paragraphs get collapsed together anyway? p and br tags are completely ignored :(

    This is a
    two-line paragraph.

    This is
    another one.

    Seems to work correctly for me (setting Plain Old Text).

      It enforces the paragraph spacing, which is too thin to my eyes. I want to insert a <br> between paragraphs but it strips it out.

        This is a paragraph

         

        This is another one.

        Seems to work for me as well. Here's the source:

        <p>This is a paragraph</p><br><p>This is another one.</p>

        Maybe you used an XHTML <br/> instead of an HTML <br>?

        Anyway, your actual complaint doesn't seem to be that the br tag doesn't work, but that the paragraph spacing is too small.

          Why would XHTML cause it to stop working? o_O

          There are 10 <br>s between these paragraphs.
