ALL USERS: Go ahead and use the mana symbols when writing cards!

[Matt]

Okay, here's the deal: I went ahead and edited our master list so that all the pretty mana symbols and tap symbols  I haven't done the cycles section but I'll get to it.  If you see anything that I missed, let me know!

In exchange for this, please STOP putting the mana symbols in your card text! When I do copy/paste to add them to the master thread, the symbols don't copy over, so I have to check back and transcribe those seperately each time. That is hugely annoying. Just continue to write them with B and U and so on (this goes for the tap symbol as well!) and I'll be very happy - it's alot easier to just type in the braces than to rewrite every mana symbol on the card.

Also, for the mods: remember, when adding cards ot the master list, to use the mana symbol code! Redoing all our old cards was tough, but if we just keep up the good work as we add each card, we won't have to go through this again.

I didn't know if this was originally an announcement or not so I bumped it up. As a side-note to Mods, if you want to copy a card that was written using mana symbols, you can simply edit the post, and then copy the original text and paste that.

Yeah, I know I could do that, but when you're doing like nine threads at a time and having to load four pages for each (PM, open thread, post reply, then opening 4-5 master lists and editing THEM, then locking all the threads), having another page to click through for each card is a pain in the ass.

I know that it pisses Matt off when I forget, but you can do the following to make Matt's job even easier. Use the Mana Symbol code in your Current Wording post, but check the box that says "Disable Smilies in this post" below the text window. That will allow you to have the {G} come out as text, rather than as a mana symbol.

Leviat did a nice thing and redid the mana symbols so you can copy/paste them now. So feel free to use the mana symbols in your current wording posts!

I did a change which should help a little bit here. When you go to make a new post, I moved the commonly-used mana smileys to the hotlink. Here, take a look:
