    Padding to Code/Highlight/Etc Box

    Is it possible to add a little padding to the code/highlight/etc boxes to give them a little space on the sides around the code. When I am reading code or posting my own, I hate how constrained the code looks in the box.

    Looking at the source it looks like someone may have accidentally remove the padding because it reads "....paddingx;.....". The code is there, but the number is missing... its not even set to 0.

    Using chrome developer tools, I added 5px and it looks a lot better...

    THANKS

    I took a few minutes to look into this last week and didn't find simple settings to make the adjustment. As such, It got set aside. Unless one of the other admins (or members) can mention where the settings or code is to adjust for this, I'm not sure I'm going to have time to dig into it any further in the near future.

    um... we have interns. They are doing more important things than adding a few spaces around code blocks on forums...
