Issue - CODE Tags distorting line breaks

This has been a problem since the upgrade but now its getting weirder. At first when CODE tags were used they used to remove all the empty rows between texts so that it all got smushed into a tight set of vba instructions. Now it seems that it is doing at random. Here is the code without code tags and with to show the difference:

Abousetta,

If i understand your issue correctly, do you mean to say that even if you posted code using code tags like this

It would display it like this?

Hi Arlette,

No, the opposite. I want the line breaks to stay the same as it makes reading the code easier. For example which one of thes is easier to read:

Thanks snb. I will post your suggestion to the OP.

FYI: Here is the thread with the new suggestion from snb. I just modified it a bit because the OP wanted to append a string, but great work snb for the suggestion.

Abousetta,

I guess it all depends on how your code is in your VBE window before you copy paste it here. I have observed that if i have line breaks, they appear here, if i dont, they dont. Is that not the case with you?

Could you go back to Post #1 and see the difference between with and without Code Tags. One has the correct line breaks and the other doesn't. They are identical codes except one is using the Code Tag feature and the other not.

P.S. I have highlighted the differences so that they can appear better

This is copied from the first post without tags. I pasted into the VB Editor. Copied & pasted with Code tags.

Can't see any problems

Tried that, but still same problem. Trying to upload an image, but that doesn't seem to be working either. Maybe will try later in the day.

What issue are you facing why uploading the image? Not trying to hijack this thread, but just asking.

trying to upload a png file to show what my the code looks like in my VB Editor but the upload meter just spins but no file is attached. Maybe the system doesn't support png files.

PNG files are supported upto a max of 100kB in size.

Still the same issue

Just to be clear, I can live with this, but it's really weird why this is happening.

I am still not seeing any issue. Are you trying to explain about the indentation going bad? I am not seeing any problem with the line breaks.

I can't see any difference

In Abousetta's code there is no space between the lines starting with "myFile = ...." and " ' Read the information...", as well as between the lines "NewString = OldString.." and " ' Write the information...".

Not sure if it's a product of how it is being copied/pasted, how the code tags are added or Abousetta's PC, though. In my code snippet below, notice there is no gap between the lines "lRow = .Range...." and the ensuing comment line " ' Insert formula into...". Perhaps that is the issue - within CODE tags, if a blank line is followed by a comment line, the blank line is removed??

So you know, I write in my CODE tags. I don't use the # button. (I did try it using the # button and previewed the post, but the same spacing issue happened.)

Testing. Hmm, nope. I removed the comment from above "With .Range("K1")" and it removes the blank line too. Definitely strange, as I know I've posted code previously and it spaces properly.

I am seeing the gap. I will put in some text to show u the gap in your code above. Why is it you are saying "there is no gap"?

Ah, it's the browser.

In Firefox 10.0.1, the gap appears and the code is more readable. In IE 9.0.8112.16421, the gap is missing.

Thats weird, i checked this thread in IE 7 and Chrome 17 and its showing me the gap.

IE9 is a different beast than IE7. There are quite a few things that act differently, even within my corporate environment. The tech team should probably be testing on at least IE8, if not IE9 anyway. IE7 is now over 5 years old. (Is the team able to see the browser usage statistics by version? If so, they may want to lean toward testing in the most commonly used client browsers.. who knows, that may still be IE7, heaven forbid.)

Actually, the tech team uses IETester, through which they can test using all versions of IE.

Hmm, it must not do a good job for IE9 then. There are other things - like clicking the "Go to first unread post" in IE9 doesn't work for me, it just takes me to the top of the thread. In Firefox 10 it works properly.

Yeah, we had issues reported by a couple of users who use IE 6 i guess. They were not able to see the icons displayed in the quick reply box.

Hopefully you suggested they upgrade their browser to something that is not a virus magnet.
