I'm a big fan of Pain.net as well, though it would belong under the "Graphic Programs that are Used to Make Maps" category.

FYI, I'm going to remove the hyperlinks from the tables. The links end up causing the posts to reach/exceed character limits and make them near impossible to edit. You'll have to Google the apps for the links.

Would using Bit.ly links help?

Then I make the edits and reformat headers (they don't always paste).
When I have some time, I'm going to try removing the table from one and see if that helps without it being visually unusable.

There's a long line that separates things in Advanced Mode which takes way less characters.Last edited by Tempered7; May 28th, 2026 at 12:17.

No, to Bitly being blocked, and the character limit.

I used the "Remove Format" on a bunch of the text (not in the tables) and that helped too. Must have hidden formatting in there somewhere. They all remain visible now when editing.
