Oh? we're in for another hardware intermission soon then?
BTW: your weekly backups on Sunday seem to have forgotten to lock things up.

The link led me to my own profile too. Got quite a shock till I realised what had happened.

PRE blocks (and CODE blocks) get syntax colored in messages, which is great.
The tags also accept a language specification, as in <PRE lang=VB>
The default language seems to be C# in most if not all forums.
How about making it forum-specific? With an incorrect language setting, results can be strange, here[^] is an example without lang= (and one of the replies has lang=VB).

I'm going to hold off on this excellent idea just for now, but yes, I agree something in that vein would be very helpful.

I prefer them all in "basic black" unless I specify a language.
|
|
|
|
|
Most members won't specify a language and most uses of code/pre will have actual code.
If you wish to have no colorising the option of adding lang="text" as an attribute to the pre/code tag exists.

I suggest you adjust your monitor to grayscale only then

OK.
you could add it to the "Current Bug list - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING [last update: Aug 9]" sticky.

How hard would it be to do this automatically so my posts from the last session weren't marked as new? eg
if ((Post.TimeStamp > Reader.LastSessionTimeStamp) && (Post.AuthorID != Reader.UserID))
Post.IsNew = true;
Since you need to do the check on a per page load basis anyway because of the timestamp I don't think the userID check would cause a significant extra burden.

can you use the same logic for bolding the navigation pane items? In late hours I sometimes go visit bolded forums to discover the only new messages I find are my own.
I trust this is a bit more challenging...

Unfortunately that is more challenging but I'll see if I can wrangling it.

Too bad. It's confusing enough when the nav and forum are out of sync due to caching.

I still say we need a Regular Expressions forum.
|
|
|
|

What about a RegEx section as well?

What's a "section"? Do they require extra hamsters?
|
|
|
|

As in an article section.
Yes, we have special hamsters for these. Commando Hamsters. Very rare.

Sure, might as well, go for it, knock yourself out.
I'll get working on my Regex article...

Hi,
I need a regular expression that will validate if an input has 1 t 10 alphanumerics but exclude the spaces.
I tried this one \b[\w]{1,10}\b. it works if put anything between than 1 and 10 alphanumerics.
If I put a number and a space it still validates.
How can I make sure that it does not validate if someone puts a space?
Thanks
