Code tags lost.

it appears that the poster is using code tags, but on the NNTP side the
code appears like quoted text and wrapped, making it useless (see below).

Why is this happening?

It looks like it's coming through as a quote - at a guess, the first "#"
is being identified as a quote character and so it's stripping the code
tags. Looks like a bug in the gateway.

I'll do a little testing later today and see if that's the issue.

Hmmm, looks like just a glitch - I did some testing and wasn't able to
reproduce it.

If the OP in that thread will come over here and provide some information
about how they created that message, we might be able to reproduce it and
get it fixed.

Hello,
I followed the instruction from the video Posting in Code Tags - A Guide from within my browser. I clicked the "Go advanced" button below and placed the code within the "" that came up by pressing the "#" button from within the advanced editor as I have done here. Hope it also has not caused an issue. if you are not able to read this because of that please let me know so I can resubmit it without pressing the "Go Advanced" Button.

**darren787** · 20-Sep-2011, 16:30

The above post looked ok to me as did my previous one but in case you cannot see it I am posting the same text as above without pressing the "Go advanced" button shown on the option below.

No, here it is ok. I have no idea why that post was broken when it passed
the NNTP gateway. It may have been a glitch.

That's what I'm thinking.

Darren, can you post exactly what you did - down to generating the output
you put in the code tags, which terminal software you used, and how you
copied/pasted the content?

Thanks,

Jim

I used Konsole terminal with the following code:
1) su -
2) zypper lr --details
3) Selected the text by dragging the mouse and left clicking copy.
4) Went to forum and clicked "Reply to post"
5) Then in the post I clicked "Go Advanced" button
6) Then I clicked the "#" for the code tabs
7) Then I left clicked to past contents in the tabs

Thanks

Thanks, I'll try and duplicate this tomorrow when I have a free minute
and see if we can get to the bottom of why it acted weird for you. Which
browser are you using?
