PureBasic Forums - English

How about a [codebox] tag like on the BlitzBasic forums?
That way large code listings will only take up little space in a thread and still be viewable through scrollbars.

That is so annoying. It drives me insane instantly.

I hate it when you are scrolling the whole screen and enter one of those boxes and then that starts scrolling instead.

My vote. Not a good idea, leave it as it is.

I also vote thumbs down to scrolling code boxes. That drives me nuts on the blitz forums!

IF there is a way to implement them more conveniant,
that they don't catch focus if not clicked, it MAY be nice
to have codes in a shorter display area.

I don't know Blitz-forums...

On PureBasic-Lounge, we had boxes, and I can't remember they catched focus when scrolling over...

Its a point of good implementation.
..but anyhow, it's not that important.
I can live with long code-posts.
but I would not like focus-catching boxes, either.

I second Kaeru's opinion.

• * I think it would be helpful to allow quicker scanning of messages, as long as they didn't automatically become the focus.
  * I can live with long code-posts.

What about using folding?

• +code list
  | line 1
  | line 2
  | etc etc

click the '+' and:

• +code list

default it to closed and Bob is the sibling of your parent of choice.

Code folding would be fine too
