[FireWire]

I noticed, while typing a post earlier, that the [ html] and [ php] tags are not parsed anymore by the forum server. I know it worked before because this post was displayed properly before. I don't remember seeing a thread about this, and I couldn't search because the function was not working when I was typing this post. Is it accidental? I hope it will be back soon because the [ code] tag is rather ugly to use compared to nice color coding and formatting of the former two.

Any explanation for this? I find it produces a much nicer-looking rendering than the boring [ code] tag.

Hey mods, no answer to that question ?

I don't know why they are off. Demonhood is the one who would probably know.

um, i didn't disable anything of the sort. what is it supposed to look like? any different than the CODE tags?

I think it did syntax highlighting.

EDIT: Check out this vBcode list from another forum for a working example. The PHP tag is actually still listed on MacNN's vBcode list, but it just doesn't do anything — even the example is broken.

I can’t recall exactly how the HTML code looks, but the PHP tag did indeed, as Chuckit says, colour-highlight the code. It used blue, red, green, and orange, I think. It also doesn’t use the monospaced font, but the regular one.

Since it has apparently been missing since the beginning of March, could it possibly be something that got bunked in the upgrade to vBulletin 3.5 or something? Wasn’t the last upgrade around that time?

Edit: Or I could just read Chuckit’s post properly and realise he linked to a working example from another forum

So it does used the monospaced font. Perhaps it’s just ‘cause the CODE tag uses a larger size now than it used to, making it look ‘more’ monospaced?
