Yay! Much better.
Something else you may want to fix is that the code indents one character more when entering two digit line numbers (starting at line 10).
Good work though.

Test:

this is a
multiline
passage of text

come
on
where
is
line
10???

edit: okay I see it now. I'll see what I can do about that today

I think it's probably averaging around 5 per day. Somedays we get 2 or 3, some we get 10 or 12. Many of the new users don't post, unfortunately, and still fewer become regular posters. But I think the forum will eventually hit critical mass (it sort of already has), where it will just keep growing on its own and will be large and engaging enough to suck more new members in.

Congrats on the 500 users. What does the growth rate look like? Is it pretty steady?

Ah, good call. I'll let Vinnie know (though he'll probably see this thread anyway ) and make see if he can work out a fix for that one.

- First off, we hit 500 members! Everyone celebrate.

- Second, code tags without a language are now styled in the nice highlighted manner.

 See?
  check it out
   this is
  a code tag
 without a specified language

We're still working on one niggling issue with horizontal scrollbars on long, one-line code snippets. But other than that, this is a big improvement.
