Hi, The title says it. How about a warning message that comes up when the user is editing/creating a post and by mistake clicks another link or closes the tab? Most forums and sites show a message like 'Warning: Any unsaved changes will be erased. Click OK to proceed or 'Stay on this page' to get back to the editor' -Bender |

Well, this is my ignorance, after all this pointless thread gave me some info. |

Besides, you should 1) likely forward this request to the phpBB developers 2) encourage the administrators to run a version of phpBB that isn't ancient. |

I can imagine quite a few people finding such a feature annoying. I actually abuse it's current implementation to navigate back to look up parts of the thread I'm replying to. |

Post subject: | About [code] tags. |
Hi, I dare not to create another topic, but I've seen some beginners post heaps of code. I know that posting a lot of code is against the forum rules, but it seems impossible to stop them (everyone does mistakes). Sadly the "[code]" tags don't have a limit and they're stretched as long as the code, which IMO looks irritating. (when you see the whole page with 1000+ lines of code it does). The FASM forum (which also uses phpBB), has a limit of "[code]" tags. After the code exceeds the limit, it adds a scroll bar, thus a very large piece of code can't take the whole page. Okay, I know you guys will point out a problem with this (which i'd like to know). Example: http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=16082 (look at the post by "m3ntal"). -Bender |

My solution to this problem is to ignore any post that contains a large amount of source code. It's normally a sign that the poster is too lazy to do a bit of debugging; I'm too lazy to debug on behalf of others. |

Yes, it works on SF_Centar and prosilver. I wonder if it's possible for other themes as well. |
