Right! Us OcUK "HTML, Graphics & Programming" netizens have been oppressed for long enough! It's time for us to rise up and say:

Oi, mods! We want a light background! :D

The php tag has some really helpful syntax highlighting that's wasted by the blue background.

But we want something like this to make it all worthwhile:

And especially when people have a long piece of code, I think that the highlighting can help point out the more obvious errors and make it a little bit nicer for us to look at.

So, go on, invest a bit of time and give us a white background on the php tag!

Clench those php-scripting fingers (after posting your support, of course) and join the revolution! :p

Mods; This isn't trolling etc, I just figured I'd have a bit of fun whilst making an 'official' request for a light background! Please take it seriously despite its tongue-in-cheek-ness ^.^

agreed, why can't the background be white? easiest then for all colours, i find it hard to read the green in the suggested one

[edit]actually i dont fnid it that hard, but white would be easier
 
Been asked many times before.. we've even provided code for it, so all the mods have to do is copy and paste into vBulletin's template manager; but no... "It can't be done" was the reply.

Eh?

Good idea though, like it :)
 
Yeah, it's been asked so many times but without any positive response - even when there was the 'Suggestions' forum there was a lengthy thread on it with no result. Not sure if we're just so low on the food chain here that the few minutes it would take to fix is not worth the bother :D. Or perhaps they're worried changing a colour value is going to somehow introduce a massive security hole - #fffffg... oh noes, mai bufferz overflowd!

Best option, if you're a Firefox and Greasemonkey user, is to use the script rob wrote (one of) the last times this came up: http://robm.me.uk/projects/greasemonkey (direct ink).
 
Well if we keep saying we want it then surely they will do it... Really, there's no reason not to! I think we should keep it up as an issue despite it being ignored in the past :cool: Maybe we'll be successful this time :p

Never seen that myself, done it now anyway.

Seems you have to post a new php code post, it doesn't affect old ones.

ps. went for white for clarity, but if lavender is popular I don't mind (green looks fine on it imo).

PHP:
$THANKS

:)
 
PHP:
//most nerdy way to say thanks in php..?
$i=0;
$r=explode(":","16:12:7:-13:3:-8:50");
$c=count($r);

while($i<$c){
	$x=0;
	$op=100;
	while($x<=$i){
		$op=$op-$r[$x];
		$x++;
	}
	echo chr($op);
	$i++;
}
:D :D
