Posted By Tyson on 10th Dec 07 at 3:25am Oh ok... could also be that this place may not be as busy as some other sites I visit. I live in Wisconsin, US. and the server loads up fast for me, It depends on the service you have, DSL = Fast, LAN = Fast, Cable = Fast, Dial up = Slow. ~Darkmage

Maybe...I'm sure Ross will eventually be getting numbered servers, like Proboards has, once the service gets popular enough. VF will probably get more popular faster than PB did. Though it would be nice if not all of the members are from PB. Then it wouldn't be much of a difference.

How does this look? Code: Select All Any Plain Text Or [b]UBBC[/b] Tags Any Plain Text Or [b]UBBC[/b] Tags Code: CSS Select All <style type="text/css"> <!-- .clasname { width: 100px; background-color: #ff6600; } #id { display: none; } //--> </style> <style type="text/css"> <!-- .clasname { width: 100px; background-color: #ff6600; } #id { display: none; } //--> </style> It still needs some work on the height, of each code box and some of the syntax highlighting isn't working properly, but is that looking better?

Fixed. I've also added some automatic height calculation.

What browser is that in? I've only checked it in IE7 and Firefox2 at the moment.

Re: Code Tag (13th Dec 07 at 11:48pm UTC)
There's a couple of options in regards to the syntax highlighting. As shown in the two samples above there's plain (no highlight) and CSS. But there's also php, js and html Code: PHP Select All `<?php` `include "../includes.php";` `echo "Hello World";` `do_my_function();` `?>` <?php include "../includes.php"; echo "Hello World"; do_my_function(); ?> Code: HTML Select All <table class="border" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"> <tr> <td class="window1"> <span style="font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold;">Contents of my table</span> </td> </tr> </table> <table class="border" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"> <tr> <td class="window1"> <span style="font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold;">Contents of my table</span> </td> </tr> </table> Code: JavaScript Select All <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- var td = document.getElementsByTagName('td'); for(i=0; i<td.length; i++) { if(td.item(i).width == "20%") { td.item(i).innerHTML += "my string"; } } //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- var td = document.getElementsByTagName('td'); for(i=0; i<td.length; i++) { if(td.item(i).width == "20%") { td.item(i).innerHTML += "my string"; } } //--> </script> The highlighting engines for the CSS, HTML and JS were all custom built so I wouldn't be surprised if it conflicts with some codes and doesn't highlight them 100% accurately. But overall I'm pretty happy with the result.
