Hi SqlTeam.

When i visit the forum for asking/ answering or searching any question, so i feel so difficult for many thing. Few are discussed here:

1. When i use the
block, so it is supposed to be displayed in distinguish way, that i could easily pick it that what i posted as a code in my post and could be easily picked by the viewers (who are interested to answer) too.

2. Every post (reply) to a thread is direly supposed to have a post number. Lets say if I'm referring someone or someone referred me for a particular post, lets say if someone tells me that your answer is available in post # 7, so i would be able to easily locate that where is post Number 7. But in current, i didn't find it.

3. Similarly, in quick reply editor mode, there is no facility for the user to use. Facilities like Bold, Code, Quote, Underline, Italic etc.

4. When i am answered by someone in my thread, So when i go to my Subscriptions, so i do not know that who answered me and when he answered me and which thread out of 100s has been answered?

I tried to find these aforementioned things, but could get it. It might be possible that these things are already there, but i can't see; If it is so, then please guide me that where are these to use.

1. Code block works well, but you should format your code first, then copy/paste it in. No, it doesn't color code, but you can do that if you want, manually. For example
-- comment --
USE tempdb;
GO

Create Table MyTable (
a int not null primary key,
b int,
c varchar(8)
);
GO


2. That would be nice

3. Just need to learn the tags. B is old. I is italics etc.

What I like best is that the site performs well and is simple and not cluttered with a tom of images and ads.

If coloring code is the attribute of this site, then it is commendable. But if colored it manually, then it doesn't seem to be adorable.

I think that i didn't forget to mention in my first post that guide me if I don't know. :) :)

You're right, that would be nice and is a little tedious to do manually.

do it like this
[ red ] this is red [/ red ] (without the spaces)

there are 14 colors built in. there are other formatting controls too.
