DRJ -- don't know if this helps, but right after the post, the icons faded out / disappeared even in not advanced

Do you think there is some Vista or NVidia setting that affects this?

I have asked about the faded buttons. Can you try in different browsers as well, Chrome and / or Firefox.

For the HTML Maker the reason we never used it is allowing HTML can open up exploits in the forum for people to run undesired code. Mr. Excel ran into some issues and not sure if the HTML maker was the culprit or not but allowing HTML does pose problems.

I will look into it and see how the new forum version handles this. Perhaps the security is better.

Seems to work with Chrome

I can see the icons in advanced now

VBAHTMLMaker converts vba code to BB code or html code. The html output doesn't work at all well with vbulletin 4.2, but the BB output looks great inside the new vbulletin code tags. Not so hot without being enclosed in code tags.

html: no code tags
<font face=Courier New><SPAN style="color:#00007F">Sub</SPAN> testhtml()<br><SPAN style="color:#00007F">Dim</SPAN> var<br> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Set</SPAN> var = Range("A1")<br><SPAN style="color:#00007F">End</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Sub</SPAN></FONT>

html w/code tags

<font face=Courier New><SPAN style="color:#00007F">Sub</SPAN> testhtml()<br><SPAN style="color:#00007F">Dim</SPAN> var<br> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Set</SPAN> var = Range("A1")<br><SPAN style="color:#00007F">End</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Sub</SPAN></FONT>

BB: No code tags
[face=Courier New]Sub testBB()
Dim var
Set var = Range("A1")
End Sub[/face]

BB w/Code tags

[face=Courier New]Sub testBB()
Dim var
 Set var = Range("A1")
End Sub[/face]

Use Code tags and delete the BB [Face} tags

We are working on converting the VBA code tags, the default Code tags may work ok but the VBA ones will make it look more like the VB Editor would show.

Actually, they (the old vba tags) forced everybody's code to look like your code. It doesn't look at all like the code formatting in my code pages.

The main differences between the old tags and my code are the auto indentation of comments past the code lines and the use of 3 spaces for tabs.

Anyway, can you try to keep the code tags, I really like them to use with BB formatted code. Just change the font size +1.

Hi DRJ

FWIW, I would like to "second the motion" for SamT. I always find it disconcerting to try and show decent indentation (especially for super-new members) and have the vba tags goober up any lines where line-continuation is in use. The only thing I can think of against the code tags is the lack of colorization, which can easily be handled by the add-in to insert the bb code.

No thank you, if SamT needs new glasses ... .
Same as post text is ok.

[SamT]

Same as post text would be perfect, but I see (saw) a smaller size, (in Courier font,) than the posts' font.

[SamT]

I thought it would be better, but that is actually too big. Thank you, though, for trying.

[Jacob Hilderbrand]

How about now?

[SamT]

[Jacob Hilderbrand]

The Code tags are built in to vBulletin so changing those may not be practical. The VBA tags are custom so once we get those working again we may be able to make change. For the indenting perhaps sticking the declaration lined in a 2 column table would work better.

Why reinvent the wheel?

VBulletin BB code plugin for VBA code:

Now that color scheme is similar to the one I use in my VBE.

I use UltraEdit and can provide a pretty comprehensive list of key words by color index, and if you wanted to provide code highlighting style selections using different css files, I can help with them, too

We are not re-inventing the wheel, just adding some air some it will go round..... I've been thinking about this for a while you know

[Jacob Hilderbrand]

Interesting, but that is a vBulletin 2.0 mod and would not be compatible.

Although I subscribe automatically to threads I reply to, and have chosen the option for instant email notification, I'm not getting any notifications.. am I the only one?

[Aussiebear]

Neither am I but then I haven't checked my settings since the upgrade
