Only one of the header markdowns have worked the last couple days:

problem with hrpg 2

I have tried deleting & creating new ones, but that didn't work.

This is more of a suggestion than an otherwise-useful comment, but I'm pro- hashtags-with-spaces. It would take the occasional explanation perhaps, especially since it's been without spaces so long, but I suspect it would reduce to approximately zero the instances of accidentally-huge posts that come from users trying to post a hashtag or wanting to use it as, you know, a number symbol (such as in the Challenge Accepted guild, or people talking about numbers of books read in a challenge, etc.) .

The markdown parser we were using was susceptible to an xss attack, so I had to switch it out. As a result:

#not a valid heading
# a valid heading

I'm working to reinstate the old behavior with the new module, but for now, you can just switch your task names to include a space between the # and the text.

I was 99% sure that I had tried that, apparently I was wrong.

That got it, thank you!

We discussed it internally @Cantras and have decided that is the direction we're going to take. Thanks for chiming in!

@crookedneighbor @paglias
reporting suggestion from a linguist on Transifex somehow connected to this issue:

loading screen tip 4 Use the # sign before a task name to make it really big!
might benefit from an example as #Task and # Task won't work the same while some users think of hashtags-without-spaces by default
