There's nothing we can do except for stress the fact that we do our own syntax highlighting.

I want to continue allowing [code] tags to be able to use color to point out important lines, etc. while having [code=language] tags strip users color and syntax highlight in their own way.

As far as spaces, I'm not sure if it's a problem with their IDE or with the wysiwyg editor? I'd be interested to see if they're having the same removing spaces issue when posting to the standard editor, which is just a standard HTML textarea (so if there's a problem with it, the problem would be native to the user's platform).

I'm not going to disable a feature for the masses just because of a bug that is affecting a vast minority. (Remember, we get 200-400 new members daily, about half of which start a new thread the day they register. In the greater scheme of things, can you honestly say that this problem affects more than 1 or 2% of new members, which would translate to the problem happening a few times a day?)

Also, is there even confirmation that this problem doesn't occur with the standard editor?

On an unrelated point, is the search function working? Unless I've turned something off by mistake in the control panel?

Search function?

Nothing related to the wysiwyg editor has changed in many years (we still use vBulletin's default editor) so the only thing I could think of is a new IDE that came out recently that a bunch of people are using or ... I dunno.

Using the standard editor is not going to fix the problem of indenting or using code tags.

I think you have the impression that forcing newbies to use the standard editor will be some miracle solution, but it won't be - the only difference is instead of colored text/bold/italics/underline appearing as such, it will look like bbcode in the editor. Only difference. Code tags aren't affected between the two editors at all.

Are you using the "search entire site" option? What error message (if any) do you get?

Can you try FireFox for me? I don't experience this problem.

Did you just recently start using Konqueror? That browser is known to be non-standard for a lot of things.

Is there anything we can do about this Dani?

Tell folks posting like thatnot to use the [post=308341]bad colorizer[/post] that they have found, and instead use the forum tags.

If you quote the misbehaving text, you find that the real culprit is the adjacent color tags have accidentally eaten the space. When the color is removed, as rendered by some forums, it's hard to see that this is what is going on behind the scenes.

[edit]Jeez. I really need to find that "reading for comprehension" material someday. [After rereading post #1.]
