    Question Editor Toolbar Order

    The order of the first three tool buttons in the editor toolbar is different between the VB.NET Forums site: and the C# Forums site: Could we change one of them so that they are the same? When switching between the two, I have accidentally clicked the wrong button on occasion. If we do...

    I decided to follow that Tapatalk link today and discovered that there actually is not current support for Nokia/Symbian, so that message should probably be changed.

    [XCODE] Tags Only Working in Advanced Editor

    I generally answer questions using the basic editor and, in the past, I have simply typed my [code] tags. With the new [xcode] tags, they appear not to be processed correctly when just typing into the basic editor. It's not the end of the world to have to use the advanced editor but it does...

    Closing threads or marking as resolved

    I think it would be a good idea for the creator of a thread to either close it or mark it as resolved. I have used another forum, which I would guess uses the same software as this one because they look very similar, that uses a convention of editing the thread title to add [Resolved] and...

    [CODE] tags

    This is only a small thing, again, but it seems to me that the [CODE] tags arbitrarily add a space to the beginning of some lines. I think it is only when a post is previewed more than once before submission but I'm not 100% sure.
