(re)move the "Code" button from the bbcode buttons
Only the mods know exactly how many posts they have to fix because of this, so I wonder why don't you just remove the darned button and be done with it!
If this is somehow too drastic, maybe move "Code" somewhere around "syntax" and make "php" bold, red or both.

The
Code: Select all
tag has to stay for various reasons for the boards to maintain legacy posts and because it is still useful/needed now.
Due to how theCode: Select all
button is integrated, it's not possible to give it special highlighting without removing it from that integration.
Adding buttons for individual highlighting constructs probably won't happen.- RobertGonzalez

Re: (re)move the "Code" button from the bbcode but
Believe it or not, all of these suggestions were brought up in moderator discussions a while ago. We even talked about adding a monospace/code entry to the Syntax dropdown, but for reasons mentioned by feyd, we truly cannot do it without adding heaps of work to the admins when phpBB releases new code.Mordred wrote:Only the mods know exactly how many posts they have to fix because of this, so I wonder why don't you just remove the darned button and be done with it!

So while the thought is nice, it just cannot be done in a practical way.
PS And you wouldn't believe how many posts we fix... even if we told you...

Why? I have been working in the PHPBB internals for... well... years and there isn't any reason for it to stay if everyone wants it removed. There are no code restrictions that require the button in the template to remain. It can easily be removed from the template and not cause ANY problems.feyd wrote:The button needs to remain in some form too.
