maybe it would work if you try putting the codes you want to share in between tags like this;

opening tag <XMP>
closing tag </XMP>

so your posting would be sorta like this:
<XMP>sinfull's new code</XMP>

I think that might help :)

(IMHO) fin24000, you are very wise to disable HTML :D

Sinfull ok that dont work.. when we try using that we end up with <br /> tags where they shouldnt be in the codes we are trying to make available for copy and paste.

any other suggestions?

or is there a way to keep html off and still show the scripts?

sdn You could encode the left or right brackets (turn them into &lt; for < and &gt; for > ). I'd suggest you just turn off HTML.
