Using the [code] tag of UBB code everything is in a really small font, which is almost impossible to read, is it my eyes, my browser or UBB?

It is UUB that makes the code small.

Is there any way of changing it?

Yeah there is. Don't think JP will want to do it though or maybe he will. I will presume that he has the text size set at 2 and forum description set at 1.

I think what UBB does is take the text size and drop one size for the [code] tag. If you set the text size mentioned above to '3', then the text inside the [code] tags display at size '2'. Currently it is dropping it to '1'.

Or maybe the UBB code can be hacked to change this setting.

Option C: Get a really large monitor (21") and set screen resolution to 640x480

JP, would there be any chance of changing it? As it's a stupid having the forums where you can't read the code people are submitting.

I think it would be a great idea if we used
Stefen's [code] hack (if he allows TWF . An example of it in use is at
http://www.webexpert.nu/forum/ubbhtml/Forum2/HTML/000002.html .

It is really easy to read, and the same size font as the rest of post.

I really think it would be a good idea, Stefens [code] hack is really good. I have e-mailed JP about the problem, but I haven't heard anything. I just don't use the [code] tag, which could lead to problems if html is turned on. I'm sure this isn't too much to ask, is it?

I hope this thread wasn't forgotten about. If JP or any other the moderators could look at Stefen's [CODE] hack example, and if they like it, maybe contact Stefen and see if TWF can incorporate his UBB hack? Because I agree with Tom that the [code] makes the font TOO small.

I'm flattered
I've talked to Patrick, and given him the instructions for implementing the updated [ code ] tag. So, you can look forward to seeing it on TWF very soon.

Copy - > Open Notepad(or Editplus ) -> Paste

From here you can easily read the code and even save it for later.

I think someone needs to re-install stefen's code hack, as we seem to have gone back to the
