OK one more bug... If you edit a past you have already created then add some code in there with code tags, click "Go Advanced", then preview your post -- it will not render the code inside of code tags. If you submit anyway then it will show up with code tags but the preview function is broke if you edit posts after the fact.

Seems that way. Before I gave you reputation on your post, you had 485 points:
Afterwards, you had 508 (notice the extra dot beside your profile):
Another bug I already mentioned can also be seen in John's attachments.
At the top of the second pic it reads: "Community reputation points awarded: 508" which is Dani's rep.
At the bottom of the second pic, it reads: 967 points total. Which is John's rep.

I find this solution extremely distasteful. You can't make those old language tags backwards-compatible? For a long time now, we've been posting (and telling other people) to highlight their code with, for example [code=cplusplus]. While defaulting to the language of the forum might work for most snippets, a lot of code that's been posted in a different language will now be highlighted with the wrong syntax.
What about shell scripting? Do you just assume it's bash?

The "967 points" thing was unchanged by my rep (compare it with the first screenshot), so I really have no clue what that's supposed to be representing.

Dani's screen is showing your rep on her page. The bottom total shows the rep of the currently logged in user viewing the page.
After you hit the "Go Advanced" button to post on a thread you have an option to insert an email link. Shouldn't that be removed since daniweb tries to keep discussions on-thread? Email me!
Also when you use the EMAIL tags it links to a page that doesn't exist and you get a 404. Click on the email me link above
