now the code should all be aligned eg:- 82,83,83 should be directly under id

manually aligned, should look like this.

i can't even easily manually align them correctly, what you see above looks nothing like what i see in the code box.

I think what you desire is a monospaced font in code boxes.

[terry1966]

to be honest blair, i have no idea, never played around with anything to do with web pages like the code(html, etc.), fonts, spacing and such.. all i know is that i'm used to the code after being copied looking exactly like what i'm seeing on my pc in my posts when posting at other forums. yes the spacing and things always change if the quote box is used but they shouldn't with the code box, after all isn't that the whole point, well as far as i'm aware it is.

Is that what you are looking for?

[terry1966]

if you notice on your pc oldman, each line should be aligned under it's headings on the top line. (just noticed it looks like you've just copied my code into a code box. ) so no, exactly under "id" should be the numbers 82, 83, 83 which they aren't in your code box, each line under it is offset slightly to the right depending on what came before it. Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 2048 4192255 2095104 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda2 * 4192256 67102719 31455232 83 Linux /dev/sda3 67102720 125042687 28969984 83 Linux see i get nearly the same result without using any quote or code boxes, what you should be seeing is more or less what you see in the last codebox in my first post. so there is definitely a problem somewhere with the code box html coding or something, probably to do with the way it pads in spaces to keep things aligned, in my opinion.

[oldman960]

When I look in to the code box in my post the lines are alined. Unfortunately attachments aren't allowed in this forum. I can attach a screenshot in a different topic if you want.

[terry1966]

yes please, and i'll try a different browser to and see if they are aligned there, can you take a screen shot of what you see in my first post too please.

[terry1966]

nope still not aligned in a different browser ( konqueror ) but i did see lots of ads i never knew were there. ok tried it in opera and chromium browsers too, so it's not a browser issue, it might be a html render/display problem depending on os windows v linux. shrugs.

[terry1966]

thank you so much blair. i'd never have thought of the fix.

[Blair]

You're welcome. Our servers run Linux, so I have a passing knowledge of it, but I rarely use it on the desktop.

[terry1966]

your "passing knowledge" would put me to shame.. and it's not as if this problem would popup often enough to stand out, can't say i've noticed it before.
