Hi admins and mods!
I'd like to point out a really annoying issue in the site: there are no line numbers.
While it's true that you can put line numbers in you own code ,there is no way (short of counting) to help someone who says "Compiler error in line 152". If it is at all possible,I think you should implement lines as the default fro the site.
Thanks.

looks like line numbers to me.

specify the type of code.

I may have misphrased myself :
I know it can be done. I mean it ought to be made default so I don't have to count lines for someone who didn't use it.

Like adding line numbers for

// blah
// blah
// blah
// blah

????

Maybe they could just post the lines they're having errors on.

it *might* be possible to make use the new code tags without syntax highlighting as the default.

Your IDE should have the ability to display these as well.

Seek, and you shall find the truth!

it is not HIS IDE he has to deal with... its other posters. I have to admit I hate it when someone posts a long program and then some compiler errors for some error one line 105...

I don't want to have to load their code into my compiler, and I sure as hell don't want to count 105 lines down the listing...

generally I ask them to point out the line and explain that there is just no way for me to know even where to begin looking for their problem unless they help me out on finding line 105.

I can't speak on this then, I mean even a simple paste into HTML Kit or Notepad++ gives me the line numbers.

I can see the inconveinence in this, but getting them to use the code tags period is already hard enough!
