Welcome back to the forum! Although it probably looks the same, there have actually been a number of changes and fixes since you last visited. Here is a quick summary:
- We are on a new Server - And as this is a new server, it will likely have some "growing pains" while the optimum settings are tweaked. If you encounter an error, please see the next bullet-point!
- Reporting Forum Technical Problems - Rather than making a post, please use the new reporting form to send me details about the error. That way I will actually see it!
- Code Syntax Highlighting - A new feature that makes code easier to enter and read! Just press the "code button" (the "<>" symbol at the top of the editor) and a modal window will pop up. Paste your code into it, and you're done! And when you publish, the code will be formatted with a "dark screen" format. All existing code has been converted, if you want to see an example I made a test post you can look at.
- Advanced Search Capabilities - You can now use brackets to search for an exact phrase. You can also use plus and minus signs to perform a boolean search.
- A few Cosmetic Changes - Nothing major, the arrangement of the individual forums is a bit different and there are a few new graphics, but it mostly looks the same. Archived content is now at the bottom of the forum.
In addition, there were several security fixes applied and a couple of PHP syntax errors were resolved. Boring stuff, I know, but it's what keeps the forum running.
Have fun!

I like the dark code display!!!! 😊

@inq I HATE IT. Yellow on Lt Blue is much more readable, green on black is almost the same as black on black. I don't know the technical name for that, but the colours are too close together.. I did research and studies at IBM to determine that Yellow on Light Blue was the most discernible and easiest on the eyes.
First computer 1959. Retired from my own computer company 2004.
Hardware - Expert in 1401, and 360, fairly knowledge in PC plus numerous MPU's and MCU's
Major Languages - Machine language, 360 Macro Assembler, Intel Assembler, PL/I and PL1, Pascal, Basic, C plus numerous job control and scripting languages.
My personal scorecard is now 1 PC hardware fix (circa 1982), 1 open source fix (at age 82), and 2 zero day bugs in a major OS.

@zander, Everybody has one... opinions that is! 😋
I've done my own studies for myself and I don't care what IBM says. For me black background is easier on the eyes. I can't go 6 hours without eye-strain on a light background. I've put in 30 hour stints with black and still didn't have eye-strain. I like green comments as I WANT them to be less distracting than the code.
... but that's just my opinion.

@inq Thankfully, when I copy-paste, the colours don't come along.
