Hi, I am an administrator for a MUD and we recently had a player log in who is using Mudlet as a client. He says that when he looks at our WHO list the players name and titles overlap each other. Does anyone know why that might be happening? I usually use CMUD as a client and have never had any other players tell me they see this on the who list. I was hoping to maybe be able to fix it for him either in the MUD or give him a suggestion with his client.
Any help would be most appreciated. I'm not too knowledgeable about clients and systems so anything too technical may go over my head, but I can refer it to my coder.
Thanks a bunch!

Re: Question
Hello!
It would be because of the use of tabs - please use spaces instead. Tabs are problematic because nobody can agree on how many spaces a tab ought to be :\

Re: Question
I dealt with this on the mud I play by writing a trigger to replace tabs with the appropriate amount of spaces.
regex pattern:
\t
trigger body:
while selectString("\t",1) > -1 do
replace(" ")
end

Re: Question
I find this to be a better way to fix tabs, as it turns tabs into the necessary number of spaces to keep things lined up, the way tabs are supposed to work.
Re: Question
Thank you all so much! I will refer this to my coder and ask him to try to fix it.
