And BTW you can use other unicode characters that the font used by your browser supports. 🌻 Just google them. But don't go too much overboard, if the ...

For old time members of rw-designer, the changes to their profile pages were probably the most significant. There is much to be said about the new profile pages, but in this blog post, I only want to focus on one part of old user profiles - the news ...

Quick change: the number of items that each user can offer for sale has been limited to 3. Otherwise, the flea market will be too messy. Attempting to add more will now fail, just think about what you really want to sell.

Producing a spray can will cost a button in the new version. I will also have to do something about other sources of infinite items, possibly make the produced items (like wrapping papers and cockades) not tradable.

when you are creating multi-resolution cursors, make sure you actually create fill all the image resolutions, while your 48x48 images are ok, the 32x32 are empty
