    Reading any post ...

    Is there an option to change the way code is presented?
    It's now in the textbox with scrollbars and the old version had complete text shown instead.
    I hope such option does exist as it is a great inconvenience (at least for me).

    Thanks

    I actually prefer the Scolled text box but think it would be better if the max size the box can be could be increased.

    EDIT: Sorry the max size isn't actually that bad, what I was meaning is when the code is only 4 or 5 line the box it gives is about 3-4 lines so not all of it is shown even though its not reached the max height, this might be a FF IE differance maybe.

    Oh, I see.
    But I really like to view complete text without any scrollbars. Although, when you're using wheel on your mouse to scroll through the page and mousepointer is over that textbox it will start scrolling text instead and that's what I hate the most.

    As far as I'm aware it goes up to roughly 30 lines of code and then the scrol lbar appears. could be a possible development for forum in the future though

    I have a scroll mechanism on my touch pad, and it creates havoc on the posts. I would like to see a way to disable them, unless you clicked on the post, in order to read it.

    I know it's a real pain - you're scrolling page and over the sudden there is a textbox with scrollbars ... Hate it, absolutely hate it.

    Weird, Firefox doesn't scroll the textbox. Are you two using IE?

    I do use IE and have no intentions to switch to anything else.

    And why should I?
    As I said "I have no intentions ..." to use any non MS utilities unless it's a something "a must" (at work I am forced to use Lotus Notes) ...

    I use IE. I'm getting down to 15G of space on the laptop. Maybe if I get rid of Netscape, I'd be willing to try FF. I seldomly use NS, anyways. Don't know why.
