Does anyone know how to create spacing between text/image? As much as I spaced these from one another, the post came up pretty condensed.
Looks like you're having the same issue some others are having. I had it too, but only briefly. I can use the Enter key to add additional line spacing now. I dunno what changed in my case. I think if you put HTML-style line breaks in, that might work. But then if I were to quote your text, I'd have to remove the HTML tags because now they don't work for me! Go figure. There is a "forum issues" thread on the Liteside. See what others who have this problem are saying, and what can be done about it, if anything. I'm sure they're still ironing the bugs out of this new software.
As to the coins, that's a very nice Diocletian. The posthumous Alexander is quite the goggle-eyed portrait, isn't it?
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
Both are quite gorgeous but indeed that aregenteus is simply absurd, it's like they minted it and then walked outside and dropped it into a hole
I have to agree, what an awesome coin!

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
I just posted for the first time in a long time and also had my post all busted up.
At least one fix that works (but is aggravatingly cumbersome) is to write HTML break tags whenever you want a line break.

This is it:
Thank you
Very Much!
