Hi Cheryl,
I have a long borne wish concerning formatting of replies to threads.
Would it be possible to allow/obey the placing of a few markup tags in ones replies?
Especially something similar to the HTML
tag.
When for instance I post a thread because I seek for help with some configuration or command it often happens that responders want me to post the output from the OS of these so that they can better see what the problem is, and where I went wrong.
When I paste these dumps in the regular textarea as a result all gets very cluttered because all whitespace is squeezed to a single character.
This sometimes makes very difficult to distinguish the record fields at first sight, and it's simply ugly.
I know that I could attach these as a file in a multipart POST.
But this is pretty cumbersome as it forces me to transfer the files containing the Unix command/config dumps first to my Windoze PC.
Using the textarea is much more straight forward with a mark and paste.
I'm not asking for silly stuff like DHTML or JavaScript and the like, but simply something similar to or
Another nuisance still is the webserver's reachability/servicing, especially at Fridays.
I presume you are doing some sort of load ballancing between multiple webservers
but this could be improved.
Do you have high hit rates/loads on Fridays?
I could imagine because most of my GETs are timed out.
I think people have more time to spend in the ITRC forums when weekend aproaches.
In German we have the saying:
"Am Freitag ab Eins, macht jeder Seins"
which could losely be translated to
"On Fridays past One, private stuff is done"
Have nice weekend
