I see a potential problem with the new format regarding code tags. Before, you had the option of doing this:


[code]
// paste code here - Courier-style fomatting, multiple spaces allowed, but no line numbers or syntax highlighting.
[/code]

or this:

[code=cplusplus]
// paste code here - Courier-style fomatting, multiple spaces allowed, line numbers and syntax highlighting.
[/code]


Both had their place. Very often I would choose to use the non-syntax specific code tags since I wanted to highlight something in red or because something was pseudocode rather than code and I didn't want the syntax highlighting, or it perhaps wasn't code at all, but I wanted something that would preserve the spacing and [quote] tags wouldn't do because they tend to disappear when replying to replies.

This option has apparently disappeared. When you type in:


[code]
[/code]


if you are in the C++ forum, you get the line numbers and syntax highlighting. I just posted on a new thread, saw it was happening, and changed it. But you have a whole bunch of old posts that look bad now, like this one:

You get stuff like this now:

coupled with instructions to look at the red line, which is no longer red.

Any way we can change back to the old way, without automatic language-specific syntax highlighting, or at least only make it automatic when parsing NEW threads?
