After several weeks of work and years of planning ( ) our very own hotsnoj (Josh) has re-done the code snippets area. There's lot of new functionality, much of which will help the dream.in.code staff ensure only the best snippets make it in to the database.
New Look: The snippets and categories have been redesigned with a less cluttered look and feel. You'll find snippets display with line numbers and not in the tiny scroll box
Snippet Approval: snippets will now be approved by the staff. Snippets that are rejected will be automatically PMd to the author for editing and resubmitted for approval
Commenting: When a user comments on your snippet, you'll get a PM with a link to the snippet
Copy & Paste: we know some programs handle copy/paste differently, so now you can copy and paste just the code (and not the line numbers)
Modify Snippets: When you modify a snippet, it will be sent for reapproval
A lot of what's new is under the hood, new code, new process for moderators to approve/reject, and all new API's for future projects. Hotsnoj did a great job putting up with my "you know what would be a cool idea?" So kudos to him. If he's up for it, he'll be doing some more development in the future.
I can say that Josh accomplished the #1 rule of software development... Job Security through Obscurity. I'm gonna need some serious time to go through and figure out all this new fangle dangle code
Sorry to be the bitch, but I've noticed that the comments by the anonymous commentators have no indication that they are anonymous, i.e. there is no Anonymous text in them, maybe this was done intentionally, but personally I think that there should be such text line.
Other than that little detail, everything is cool, and I mean real cool.
You shouldn't see any ads. The adsense code isn't in a conditional though so that would explain it, I'll have Josh come up with a class to take care of that, and might actually be able to reuse the damn thing elsewhere.
Thanks.

Can you link me to a snippet so I can see what you mean. Anonymous comments are no longer allowed, so that may not have been a consideration.

Really fabulous work! I do have a few recommendations that might make things a tad bit nicer.
1) Can you widen the cut and paste textarea field to take the width of the center window? Like you are doing there for the syntax highlighted code. This would make it easier to see the full length of the lines without so much word wrap.
2) There is also this black line on the left hand side of snippet entries. Is it meant to be like that because it looks out of place I think. Image of it below...
3) I love the syntax highlighting but could you maybe change Java's because some of those pastel colors blend right into the light gray background and makes the whole thing hard to read?
But really, kick ass job hotsnoj! Your wizardry is certainly one of the best.
