Guys

This is really starting to bug me. I am trying to put a song on the ESB - i have successfully used the code function over and over again on other songs. I have managed to get one bit in code, and it looks fine. I am now trying to fit another bit in, and no matter what I do it won't work! Its showing as being between the two <code> </code> thingies, but when i preview it, its as though the code hasn't worked.

Any ideas????

Matt

I just did it twice (below) in the same post and it seems to work. Make sure you have HTML off and BBCode on. By the way, even with CODE if the window is shrunken it will distort the lines.

I also think the banners on the right of the posts is causing the problem since it shrinks the window.

OK problem solved - I wasn't using courier. Now sorted.

But i agree, things would be MUCH better with a bit more width!

Thanks guys

Matt

I do think this is going to put people off the ESD - I have sat here for 4 hours + this afternoon and put a lot of effort into posting the man who sold the world. And preview - perfect, lovely jubbly.

When i look at it now, I wonder why i bothered, its all over the place due to width restrictions because of the O2 banner ad.

There is no way a decent tab is going to fit in that width.

O2 banner ad? Whats that?

Chuck Norris invented Kentucky Fried Chicken's famous secret recipe, with eleven herbs and spices. But nobody ever mentions the twelfth ingredient: Fear!

That's one of the ads you see to the right of the forum/post window
