I am trying to post some code to the discussion board (in another area specific to the type of code) to receive help/feedback, and it keeps giving me the error that I need to put the code tags around it (which I have done). Is anyone else having this problem or has anyone had this problem in the past that can give me some advice as to what I am doing wrong?
Did you... put the code tags correctly?
The tags look like this: [code]{ My code }[/code].
The result should look like
Code:{ My code }
It could be referring to something else outside the code block. Eg, curly braces won't fly anywhere except in
Try removing (ie, cut n' save) everything outside the code tags, add a simple note explaining you are trying to get the question to appear, post that and the code, then start cutting and pasting your question back in with edit. I think you will spot the problem fairly quickly.Code:wow {curly braces}
Sucks, I know. Not your fault. It's this way because otherwise too many people don't use the code tags, and that is even more irritating.
MK27's theory sounds right to me. This is a really unfortunate limitation of the code tag checking system--it's just not that easy to identify code :(
If there *isn't* a curly brace outside the code tags, can you email or PM me the content of what you are trying to post so I can investigate it?
The problem seems to have spontaneously rectified itself when I posted from a different computer. There were no internal curly braces in my post. You can see me failed first attempt to post and my final success at getting the code to post at my other board discussion post http://cboard.cprogramming.com/c-pro...-new-post.html I was probably just clicking something strange or the computer I was using (at my school library) was limiting me in some fashion. Sorry!
Check and see if the library still uses IE6. I've seen this before because it came with XP and they either can't be bothered or have some weird policy about updates.Quote:
