Maybe it's just my browser then? Some days ago the font had just changed totally, but it's looking good anyways. LOL

Great suggestions! I especially think the 3rd one is important. But boy do I also miss those HTML tags.

I see we've gotten a "Read more" button, great! Now that we've also got a new font (which takes some time to get accustomed to but I think it's pretty good), I'm throwing out some ideas:

1. Pressing enter doesn't enter a new line. Due to this, many automatically imported bios look bad because they have lists of members, albums and whatnot. For example, if I write:
Quote line 1
line 2
It shows up like
Quote line 1 line 2
Would be lovely to get this fixed, so pressing enter one time would work as it should!

2. Similar to Jonas' topic about HTML tags in reviews, it would be great to get bolds and italics to bios too. They would really enhance some long bios.

3. Possibility to link to other artists and maybe even albums! If a bio lists other bands of the members, it would be great to be able to just click the band names there and it would lead to the other band profiles. This is something where EM kicks our asses at the moment. (This also applies to splits, on EM you can click the band names on split releases).
