Topic: Forum News - September 18

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

- 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. smile

- Last, did you know you can get a list Unanswered Topics?  Just click the 'Show Unanswered Topics' link at the bottom of the main page of the forums.

These are topics that have no had any replies--often these are questions that are still in need of an answer. smile

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.

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

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

Re: Forum News - September 18

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. smile
