[vbcode] Tag

[jemidiah]

Getting people to use the [vbcode] tags gets very annoying. Would it be possible to either add it to the help page or add it to the tag editor (shown in attachment for zero ambiguity)?

Edit: I did get to searching through the old posts here to see if this had been posted before (it seemed too simple not to have been). I would have deleted it, except it seemed to me that the old thread got forgotten.

Makes sence. Could this be done? Many new members don't use them making the reading of the posts harder...

Yeah, when someone posts 150 lines of code without any tags and want you to figure out why it isn't working -- do they actually think I'm going to damage my eyes trying to read it?

Maybe we could have people take a training session before using this site. Give 'em a quiz on board usage before enabling their accounts.

I love that idea.

*bump* (in case they have it set to a two day view)

Okay, it isn't a perfect fix, but it is in the right direction. I added a VB button that adds the vbcode tag. I also changed the # text on the code button to 'code' so that it would be a little more obvious.

Thanks Brad. I just want to point out to people who may not be aware that there is a very easy way to add vbcode tags, bold text, italicize text, spell check, etc after you compose your post or after code is pasted into a post. Please see this thread.
