I haven't seen this capture at all but then maybe that's because I log in as a moderator.
This is not really in my area of responsibility in my role as a moderator so I'll pass this on and we'll see what can be done.

You should post this on one of the other forums on this site - eg the Ruby forum or the "Programming Rails/Other Rails Programming" forum

In the last month or two i've seen a lot of posts (always the first post in a thread) that seem to have been truncated, eg which finish suddenly half way through the second sentence or something. If it was just one or two i'd think it was clubhanded users but i wonder if you've changed the system you use for converting text to html and it's truncating posts on some character, or something like that? here's some examples (which might have been edited and fixed by the op by the time you see them):

I've noticed odd behaviour before around square brackets which is obviously what you wrap escaping code in. next to each other has caused problems for me before. eg


empty_array = []

Yeah, I think the problem with the numbers, iirc, was that our particular plugin made it hard to copy and past code snippets (the numbers would get copied as well, screwing up the code).

Thanks, Josh. Looking back on this thread, the general consensus seems to be that folks like the highlighting but not the numbering

We actually did have syntax highlighting / numbering in an earlier version of the forum, but when we upgraded PunBB our plugin broke. I'll look into getting it back.

I see some time back that an attempt was made to support syntax highlighting on the code tag. Does it just not work properly, or is it a back-burner task that nobody's got around to? Googling 'PunBB syntax highlighting' gives a couple of options including DocuWiki.

Are there any plans to have another go at it? It might make the posts a little easier to read...

What's the name of this new theme? Is it custom? I LOVE it.

That's because i is the bbcode for italic text. I guess I'll have to make it ignore bbcode in code blocks, thought it did that already. Hmmm...

hey guys

There are problems with code that includes square brackets, eg in the following - try replying and substituting an open-square-bracket for and close-square-bracket for


fruits = %w(apple plum pear orange banana)
fruits.each_with_index_do |fruit, i|
  puts "fruit = #{fruit}, i = #{i}, fruitsi = #{fruitsi]}"
end

Sorry if you already got told about this in another post

Are you guys working on a Rails forum application? Is anybody? I'm getting ashamed of constantly having to recommend my clients to use phpBB...

I am! But there are a few rails forum plugins and examples available.
PM me if you are interested.
