Let's see if this bug repeats itself... there should be &nbsp strings in the above pasted text instead of spaces (now, watch it work correctly this time..).  Doing an EDIT of the post replaced them with spaces when I originally posted.  So to insert readable 'Java' syntax code, I guess we have to post and then update the post to remove the Jive droppings that this crap forum inserted. (pathetic, Jive...pathetic)

    I saw this bug when i went to post the plonk script and used java as the attachment type.

    you'd think that as "programmers" (and i'm apparently using that term very loosely) the jive people might understand that when you post CODE you DON'T FSCK WITH IT!!! a programmer has spent some time going over it to make sure it's correct.

    it's like you randomly change all the colors when an artist posts a picture. it's not right and it should NEVER be done!

    if i'm telling you it's code, LEAVE IT ALONE!

    I'm sure they haven't really thought about it. I've thought for a long time that users here are not typical Jive users. At all. Adobe didn't think this through when picking new forum software.

    They didn't think anything through.


    Jive was selected for its pretty face and has totally failed to provide the forum experience needed for a user-to-user support service.


    Dual log-in was decided upon because it seemed like a good idea, but wasn't.


    I could go on, but would rather not become another Ansury or Jhabrix.

    You'd started an earlier thread on code...  i posted a reply to that... the thread seems to have vanished the very next day... d'you remember? I see no record of it in my profile either....

    Unless the forums have now got me hallucinating as well!?

    I don't remember doing that but I may have a long time ago, definitely not in the last few weeks.

    Not that I would be shocked if threads were disappearing around this Jived up shit.

    Must have imagined it then! It was in the last 10 day or so... three posts from you... (some?) with snippets of code... and i posted one reply... <shrug> The forums are getting to me!!

    Cheers!
