Thread Name: I've posted my last song on Mudcat
Subject: RE: I've posted my last song on Mudcat
As I said before, Max knows how to do automatic line breaks, and he has been working with that in the experimental version of Mudcat. I used the automatic line breaks for about three months, until the experimental Mudcat crashed. Jeri and Jon used it for about a month. The automatic line breaks cause some restrictions that limit the flexibility of what we can do here. They make it very difficult to do the fancy stuff we've been able to do in the FAQ and other PermaThreads. Once you're used to doing your own HTML, you get very frustrated with HTML editors and message board functions that put HTML where you might not want it. We are working on resolving those problems.
Max chose flexibility over convenience, and that's why you have to type the line breaks. I now realize that is is a great burden upon some of you to type <br> at the end of every line in lyrics, and that this has caused great stress and heartache for some. Get over it.
