    I think things are just fine the way they are.

    I personally don't like scroll bars in code tags. And as for a [cpp] or [c] syntaxer, you could just write your own.

    The only problem I have is that sometimes where you have a long line of code with no spaces, a space creeps in. It's obviously a bug and must serve some purpose. However, I was just wondering if anyone was going to address that, or give a reason as to why not.

    Code:

    It's a force-breaker. The forum software forcibly inserts spaces into all extremely long continous words to avoid horizontal scrolling, because then the browser can wrap lines. This applies to all text, not just that in code sections. The problem is that in code sections it's not wrapped anyway, so the feature should exclude them from force-breaking.

    So is the webmaster going to do anything about this?

    Unlikely, as it means modifying the board source. Which probably means no official support.
