And that it takes up to a minute before you see something appear, when loading a page from this website, is something going to be done about that?

I don't experience this at all.

There seems to have been a sudden change in the overall style of this website: all variant articles suddenly display with a much bigger font than they used to (and as is used on this comments page). In itself this is not so bad (for people that are half blind, at least). But worse is that this also seems to affect table formatting, spoiling the interactive diagrams by taking a large margin below the images in the squares, for the true-descenders of a large font (which is of course not present in the cell). The diagram explicitely specifies xx-small font-size in each and every <td> element in the board, but apparently this is now overruled by some global setting.

I don't notice any change, at least nothing obvious.  Can you point me to a page that is exhibiting this behavior?

Quick Markdown Guide

By default, new comments may be entered as Markdown, simple markup syntax designed to be readable and not look like markup. Comments stored as Markdown will be converted to HTML by Parsedown before displaying them. This follows the Github Flavored Markdown Spec with support for Markdown Extra. For a good overview of Markdown in general, check out the Markdown Guide. Here is a quick comparison of some commonly used Markdown with the rendered result:

Top level header: <H1>

Block quote

Second paragraph in block quote

First Paragraph of response. Italics, bold, and bold italics.

Second Paragraph after blank line. Here is some HTML code mixed in with the Markdown, and here is the same <U>HTML code</U> enclosed by backticks.

Secondary Header: <H2>

  • Unordered list item
  • Second unordered list item
  • New unordered list
    • Nested list item

Third Level header <H3>

  1. An ordered list item.
  2. A second ordered list item with the same number.
  3. A third ordered list item.
Here is some preformatted text.
  This line begins with some indentation.
    This begins with even more indentation.
And this line has no indentation.
