Scene Breaks.

I used to use
---===---
to signify my scene breaks. Now that ff.net filters them out, I try to remember to use
xxxXXXxxx
however, when posting, I'll do a last-minute sweep using the document editor, and tend to change those into the built-in ones.
Every once in a while, I'll forget, though, and use the ---===--- which disappears and leaves my fic with an awkward flow.

From what I see the built-in mostly, though a lot of people seem to be dropping the use of scene breaks for some reason.
I used to use to stack ':' waaaaay back when, which seems really stupid now. Now when writing in wordpad I use (SPACE) then when I go through the editor to check for missing '"' and puncuation, I replace it with the built-in one.
But yeah, other than the built-in one I don't know of any other useable ones for ff.net.

What I do when I post something to FF.net is:
1) Upload a .txt file that had only a few random words in it.
2) Fire up their document editor
3) Copy and paste from my master file.
4) Go through it and replace my scene breaks with horizontal lines in the text.
5) Save the changes and I'm ready to go.
I found that it was a lot easier to do that than mess with a formatting that it wouldn't eat.
