sorry if this is the wrong subforum I didn’t see one that was related to the forums and bugs.
anyway I just thought the admins and moderators should know this but in unity answers you can’t use
“url” and “code” bb tags without it screwing up the post.
thanks
I’d suggest mentioning this in the Meta or Admin space on Answers.

Unity Answers has a completely separate formatting system to the forums. It doesn’t use code tags.
Answers uses four spaces before a line to indicate that line should be code. Don’t ask why, it just does.
You also need to ensure the line before the code is blank.

This has always perplexed me. Then again, a lot of Unity’s choices perplex me 
It’s one of the methods used on Stack Exchange/Overflow. They just stopped before implementing the other four.

By the way when I say “they” I don’t mean Unity. I doubt the company that choose Lithium built this themselves.

It’s a somewhat standard formatting method called Markdown. It allows rather sophisticated formatting of headers, lists, code, etc. using very simple plain text sequences.

In regards to code the easiest way to post that on the answers page is using the little code button (the one with 1’s and 0’s on it) along the top with the font options, either highlight something and press that, or just press that and paste the code into the window that pops up. It’s not ideal but it does the job.
