Deitrich,

Will you please stop closing threads that you deem to be either fixed or solved.

There are other ideas, suggestions and explanations that could be added without re-hashing the whole subject again in a new thread.

Topics are being closed when:
- people continue to go off-topic or ask multiple questions in the same topic;
- they are a crosspost of another topic or irrelevant for this forum;
- they have been inactive for at least six months (performed using the prune functionality);
- in the testing forum 5 posts have been made in the same topic (closed automatically).

In other words, when people follow the simple set of rules on this forum topics don't get closed unless they are irrelevant or inactive for a long time. The testing forum is not for discussion and topics in here get removed after a month. I can't remember closing topics recently when they were still relevant or unresolved.

Apart from this, this topic does not fit in "bug reports", so moving to chit chat. This kind of questions should be done via e-mail.

Been done back as far as I can remember, its good way to see things get fixed.

Ok and thanks for the info.

It's taking the new kid on the block some time to catch up on individual threads / posts without reading the whole site.

What prompted the suggestion was something I have come across so many times and everyone has different ideas on how it should be handled; and that is the code and quote blocks.

I have always found this to be the most acceptable to all who use forum software. But I couldn't post it in the same thread because it had been closed.

Simply add height and width to the code and pre .css..

Aesthetically it makes all blocks the same size, makes for better presentation and can be adjusted by the webmaster to suit 80% or full-width templates. It could also be incremental in height with a bit of java-script; maybe something for UseBB v2.
