I also think that newbies use code-tags on the first post more often now. But I also think that the [icode][/icode] tags can be added to the quick-reply. As Dave mentioned, the mysterious green block that represents the tags is meaningless to newbies, so it can safely be added 
Thanks

I think it also looks generally nicer than the '#' icon you had before too.

I don't see any reason to have an icode button -- what's so difficult about just typing them in as you type? I don't use the code tag button either for the same reason. I can just type the tags by the time I have to remove my hands from the keyboard, find the mouse, move it to the button, click it, move the cursor between the two tags, move my right hand back to the keyboard, and begin typing again. All that's just too much effort.

To use the keyboard, it takes 15 actions, one for each letter you type, you only listed 7 for using the button
Also, I usually select the code first then click the button, seems easier.The only tags I type are the [b][/b] and [I][/I] tags, because they're short.

Let's look at a few examples of how I might use it "inline code" tags:
I kinda find it a pain in the ass to type out the tags for something like
But I believe I've already been given the answer: no. Fine.

Some starters: Sort out your confusion about strings and numbers. Assignment is=, comparison is==. Multiline blocks are not determined by indentation in this curly-brace language.

No. But there are other methods that don't usepush_back, like using aback_inserterwithcopyperhaps; or maybe something about writing aninsert_iterator.

%d->%02d#include <stdio.h> int main(void) { int h = 1, m = 1, s = 1; printf("%02d:%02d:%02d", h, m, s); return 0; } /* my output 01:01:01 */
= or %02d or where I use them several times in the same sentence. It's easier to do here in the "advanced reply", but I'd kinda like to do the same thing in the quick reply. I might have preferred something that didn't feel like a kludge like using the code tag button and modifying it. YMMV.But I believe I've already been given the answer: no. Fine.

I agree with Dave. What I do now is click the CODE tag and add the I -- very pita.
And as for AD's solution, that's fine for him. Many times I'm not on the keyboard constantly and the rat is easier in those cases.

I am with AD.
I very rarely use the buttons, typing the tags is just as fast, if not faster (for me), than clicking a button
Also, getting people using Code tags consistently is more important than another (possibly confusing) button.
I will agree that the button could do with changing though, the green block doesn't mean anything (in fact, I didn't even know it was there till I saw this thread

AJAX is not a programming language, scripting language or any other sort of language.
It is acheived by using JavaScript http functions.
So, AJAX = JavaScript.
