I’m afraid I won’t try to keep up with this thread. Some big changes have been made, but more new problems were introduced than identified problems fixed. Preview is still broken.

The intolerable bug with the CODE tag was not addressed. I guess it’s considered an unimportant exotic feature most Dopers don’t use.

The new “improved” :eek: rendering of CODE makes my old posts look like they were written by an idiot.
