Suggestion needed on BBcode Tags.

Post by Anuj Dhawan »

Hi,

We've got some requests to make changes in the BBcode Tags to mimic them a mainframe like look. Having worked on IBM Mainframes for some time and being habitual of Black and Green seems a preferred way to see the code. Said that, we've implemented the change in BBcode Tags to look like this:

You can also refer this live topic, as the BBcode Beta-changes are already in place: viewtopic.php?f=50&t=42

However, with my own past experience on other Forums - I believe some might still like it the following way:

Suggestions needed to choose one as permanent BBcode Tag style. Please add in your comments and /or vote in for your preferred style.

Thanks for stopping by,

I prefer the Green on Black. The interesting stuff is clearer, and the CODE: SELECT ALL is much less prominent.

Thanks for writing in William. I too, personally, like that. The idea is - if we get at least 10 votes for a 'style', we'll keep that.

Thanks,

Yup, green on black is more like real screens.

And for me, far easier to read.
Hope this helps,

Thanks for the feedback and vote - yes, this is already in place but one can keep on voting to keep the difference as 10 between the two types of code styles... :)
