..well on a black or dark blue it looks good. the site colorizes so much as you all mention, and there's css on top. If not all than at least some would benefit from syntax colors instead of all the other color jazz-me-ups. And it wouldn't be too hard to have a new tag for <perl_code> And, if it's possible to have your own color schemes for the forums, so it would be possible to have your own syntax highlight color scheme. Copying others code, then perhaps opening vim/jedit, pasting code, and then setting syntax color mode, is all a bit tedious. hey, i'm lazy. + to me it seems clearer to see color highlighted code together with the comments. have i conviced anyone ?:)
