Post subject:  Proper Posting Format Procedure
The messages are getting worst it seems, ti use to be once in a blue moon that someone would forget code brackets, now everyother post.

I think something need to be done about this, it really isn't hard, that is why there are buttons at the top of the posting screen

Please use them, it is an eyesoe to read code without them, I am not forcing you to use them but it would be nice.

Additionally... use the "preview" button. Do not assume your post looks good. Mine often don't the first time around, and I'm no slouch.

If you're posting code... indent.

Do not post:

code:
for c : 1..42
if c mod 6 = 3 then
put "yo"
else
put "oy"
end if
end for


Then you might as well forget the code tags. Instead post:

code:
for c : 1..42
   if c mod 6 = 3 then
      put "yo"
   else
      put "oy"
   end if
end for

True, although I would rename it to "Proper Posting Format Procedure". Anyways, also, keep in mind that when you are indenting, the normal "tab" doesn't work (if you are doing it from your web browser), so you have to press "space" 3 times (or 4 if you like).

Do not do this:

code:



put "dstufdjskf"



delay(56000)

put "enter"


get gsdf



It

obviously
looks bad, and wastes space in the forum.

Additionally, do NOT USE CAPS LOCK FOR YOUR WHOLE POST, IT IS VERY ANNOYING AND SOMEONE WILL GET PISSED OFF AT YOU. AT THE VERY LEAST LESS PEOPLE WILL WANT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.

Thanks Smile.

Do not post code with useless comments.

code:
% create variable "foo" and initialize to 42
var foo := 42

% clear the screen
cls
