Depends on how you define freshman. I have sophomore standing due to how many credits I have, but am freshman class

I highly doubt it is a bug with wikidot. It may have something to do with the difference between a "disussion" as on the bottom of an archive page, and a thread, which is a forum page.

Edit: I made a short video explaining how the css would need to be fixed for this, and I use a chrome extension to show that the css is what would fix it. Watch The Video Here

CONGRATULATIONS!!! See, I told you that you'd a get karma increase before long.

EDIT: What is GG?

Ooh, maybe this is a bug that we can tell the people at Wikidot about?

EDIT: 4 karma bars. GG.

Thats odd, since even if it is copy pasted it shows with a scrollbar in the recent posts.

It is indeed copy paste. I repeatedly typed "test" into a codebox and previewed it until the scrollbar showed up. I guess copy/paste is the factor affecting the presence of the scrollbar.

I copied and pasted zixcoder's program code from Cemetech's SourceCoder3, I don't know if Trenly used copy/paste for his optimization or not.

I don't think it's the CSS…code boxes are built into Wikidot's website structure. There should be no way to change that. I think copy/paste has something to do with it however.

This is a code box:

:Code...

When we put a really big program into a code box, the code box is also really big. It used to be that the code box would only extend to a maximum size, and then there would be a scroll bar if the max size didn't show all of the code. We're trying to figure out how we can change this back.

Basically the code to make it automatically adjust size needs to be added to the template for the entire site, not just the forum section I believe. Maybe jonbush or Xeda Elnara can do this in the admin panel. I don't think I have access to it.

The code I think is:

div.code pre { max-height: 250px; }

Edit: Yeah, the css is only accessible through the admin panel I believe. I did check my code above using inspect element in google chrome and it does work perfectly.

What are you guys talking about?

Re: Code boxes

Sat, 06 May 2017 23:00:14 +0000

Well, how would we change them back?

Re: Code boxes

Sat, 06 May 2017 22:54:47 +0000

thats why I was questioning it. since I thought that it was fixed-height site-wide. not just on the recent posts page

Re: Code boxes

When I posted the written code for the zixcoder's program, I noticed that the box didn't have a vertical scrollbar, but instead appeared as a giant code box. But, if you go to the recent posts page and scroll down to that same post, the code box has a fixed height and a verical scrollbar. I don't know what happened, but I definitely prefer a code box with a fixed height.

Does anyone know what happened to the CSS that made code boxes a fixed height with a scrollbar? I noticed that it appears to have been removed.
