The tags are awesome, but I think there are 2 problems with them:
  1. The font is far too big. I think it'd look better if it was smaller.
  2. The text wrapping is quite annoying. Many actions take up multiple lines. It should simple use one line, and the user can scroll to the side.

    For example:
    Trigger:
    • Example
      • Events
        • Unit - A unit Is attacked
      • Conditions
      • Actions
        • If (((Triggering unit) is A structure) Equal to True) then do (Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Targeted unit), dealing ((Real((Level of Bash for (Triggering unit)))) x 200.00) damage of attack type Siege and damage type Universal) else do (Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Targeted unit), dealing (((Real((Level of Bash for (Triggering unit)))) x 500.00) + 500.00) damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Universal)


    Whilst with code tags:
    Code:
    Example
        Events
            Unit - A unit Is attacked
        Conditions
        Actions
            If (((Triggering unit) is A structure) Equal to True) then do (Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Targeted unit), dealing ((Real((Level of Bash for (Triggering unit)))) x 200.00) damage of attack type Siege and damage type Universal) else do (Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Targeted unit), dealing (((Real((Level of Bash for (Triggering unit)))) x 500.00) + 500.00) damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Universal)

I hate the new tag; it is so ugly. I knew it was going to happen when enough people weren't content with the fact that the internet is not the Warcraft world editor.

Hmm.. It seems like people are commenting on everything except the comments in the first post. (The text-wrap maybe?)

The font size looks fine to me: I don't have to take out a magnifier in order to read the text.

Text-wrapping is just perfect, it should also be applied to on CODE/PHP tags as well. There's nothing more annoying than having to scroll to read a long line, jump back to the beginning for the next one and so on.

We would be willing to hand ours over.
Just out of curiosity: mind telling me how many lines of code it takes you to achieve that result?

227 lines total ( I'm guessing you mean for the php code ) , though about 100 lines are for vbulletin stuff ( plugins,product )

Adding white-space: nowrap to the spans fixes this. I'm not entirely sure that a scroll is any improvement, only real solution is to stop write code that looks like that...

But this

Trigger:
  • Example
    • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
    • Conditions
    • Actions
    • If (((Triggering unit) is A structure) Equal to True) then do (Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Targeted unit), dealing ((Real((Level of Bash for (Triggering unit)))) x 200.00) damage of attack type Siege and damage type Universal) else do (Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Targeted unit), dealing (((Real((Level of Bash for (Triggering unit)))) x 500.00) + 500.00) damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Universal)


Is annoying :(

I can't see what's annoying there. At least you see the whole code without scrolling.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
