[source] code boxes
Author
I really liked the look of the old ones that adjusted themselves to display the whole source. Of course, some people might like the new ones because they''re small and you don''t have to scroll the page a lot to read the thread if there''s a lot of sources. How about we have the best of both worlds - the way they will be displayed is a personal preference that''s set in the profile. This way, everybody will be satisfied.
got my vote..
i sometimes print a thread out so i can highlight interesting
bits and read it while im coding.. if you try to print
a thread with the new source boxes, it''ll only print out
what you can see, not the entire contents.
a while back i suggested a ''printer friendly'' button, but
i guess im the only one on this forum who prints out threads

yeah...i actually like the old method better so i didnt have the small scroll box for source code and let the code fill up the whole screen

I really preferred the old method too. It never has bothered me, especially considering I have in my mouse an amazing "wheel-button thingamajig."

I would like to see them work properly in Opera...
I tried to fix them to work decently in Opera, but I couldn''t find a simple way to do that and still allow the new code boxes to show in other browsers without really changing the HTML behind it. If you view the source on this page, you can see a small Javascript thingy that messes with the CSS to minimize the damage
. However, since then, I''ve grown quite used to Mozilla, and now only use browsers that are based on Gecko. 
It would be nice if they automatically resized themselves if there was only 2 or 3 lines of code, instead of having a huge empty box.

Too late for me, I''m afraid - I cannot live without mouse gestures.
