General Advice and Known Bugs
- Be wary of copy-pasting into a post! Sometimes it works, but it often transfers random formatting in the back-end coding that can break when copy-pasted! If you've copy-pasted and are having issues, check for random additions that may have been brought over in the Code View.
- Style coding gets sanitized upon saving! Lorwolf's HTML has limitations that sanitize (clear) some formatting when saved. You may notice that you're able to apply some formatting while actively editing your post, but it disappears once you submit/save your post. These are site limitations, so we can't override them.
- Check your post in both Dark Mode and Light Mode! There are ways to use LW's own coding to help format posts in unique ways, but be aware that there may be bugs that cause issues. For example, we have confirmed that the Header 2 style formatting can sometimes not show up against the background due to the way Dark Mode was coded on the site.

These users helped in various ways, from in-depth help learning coding to identifying specific tricks/hacks we can use for Lorwolf's specific HTML 💕(Not tagging to not spam them, but happy to @ you if you'd like to be linked here!)
