Problem witht [code]blah[/code] ?

[elseif]

I would like to post an ascii image (op amp circuit). I attempt to use *code* stuff */code* ("*" = "[" and "]") to preserve the spacing and an extra line feed gets inserted after each line of text, thusly:

      .------o--|___|---.    
      |      |          |    
      |      |  |\|     |    
      C|      --|-\     |    
      C|        |  >----o--> 
      C|     .--|+/          
      |      |  |/|          
     ===    ===              
     GND    GND

Any suggestions?

This is a fault of the software for this forum. ( http://www.vBulletin.com )
More precisely the php script used to handle your post.

The tag [ code] means that everything inside should be preserved just as entered, character for character.

Now Windows add 2 different chars for ONE linebreak:
\r\n
while Unix based systems adds only
\n
where \r = return and \n = newline

Both these corresponds to one HTML <br>

Now, somehow the script that handles posted stuff within the [ code ] tag
adds not only one <br>, but two <br><br> for each newline.

This could be easily fixed in a php script, that deals with Windows vs. Unix different ways
to announce one new line in post forms.

Probably, hopefully, vBulletin has fixed this, in later versions.
I would have a guess www.diyaudio.com uses some really old version.
Which by data age measurements is >= 5 years back dated version .. or even more.
