Announcement indentation
« on: January 23, 2022, 02:10:07 am »

G'day.

I feel a bit silly for making yet another nit-picking suggestion, but here goes:
For my own legibility, text belonging to the same announcement should be indented when sent to a new line. At least when tightly packed.

I found it hard to read as well.

Another option could be to put extra space to separate each "announcement" so that they're more like individual paragraphs, or use a visible line to separate them (or both). This would have the advantage of making it easier to read/separate the single-line announcements as well (instead of being a massive wall of text).

EDIT: or putting distinctive "bullet point markers" of some sort beside each new announcement.
