You might want to try this editor. It has a feature that converts any selected text to lowercase and viceversa. It has a lot of very cool other features too including syntax highlighting for almost ANY language (incl HTML, ASM and so on), you can assign special macros to your F9 - F12 keys for various filetypes and so on... Plus it's pretty small.

Seems like a good little editor actually, thanks for pointing that out Wouldn't mind if it could point out my PHP syntax errors though!

an obscure request..

i cannot type and look at my screen, yeah i'm a big dummy.. but every so often i notice i accidentally hit caplocks and a big portion of my reply is now caps..

is it possible to incorporate a system, that when a portion of your reply is caps you can highlight it and switch it to lower case?? as in changing colors and fonts and italics??

i know it sounds stupid, but it burns my butt to look up and see several sentances in caps


You can in VI. Page up changes case.

I mean yes, you can surely do what you're asking with PHP, but ... there's really no reason. tolower/toupper is fairly simple to use.

Which flavor of assmebly do you have to use? There is no standard for assembly language, thus there are different syntax standards for different versions (NASM, MASM, TASM)

Macs assembly language doesn't even use "mov" to move stuff is uses like ... bsd or something that starts with a 'b', which makes no sense. [addsig]

Hmm I should've been more specific. ConTEXT supports 80x86 assembly syntax. We're required to use MASM (with a 16bit linker) and it seems to be compatible with most instructions and directives so far.

Ah. Yeah, that is what most people use, that and TASM.

Side Note:
The one thing I don't like about MASM/TASM is that you start the program at the end ... I really like NASM, to be honest. I just don't like the displaying options, I've never really read into it, it seems that you load certain strings into the programmer registers and they somehow get stored in file ... I'll have to read up on it. [addsig]

small bug..

situation: you log in, you take to long to reply, you time out..

you get the message you need to log in first, but the link.. leads to no place.

however, if you back up a couple pages, and use the link there, it works..

by then, you have lost your post..

Number of replies, and number of views I think $loth means - IMO tis pointless, and I have a vague feeling we had it before.

Needless to say, views to a topic aren't important, in my eyes. Stupid/boring/needless topics will be ignored either way..

It would appear that the hosts have upgraded their version of PHP, which broke the register page- though I can't see how you managed to register with IE, the problem should affect all browsers (and indeed did affect mine!). Ah well.

Clicking on the snark icon next to a topic takes you to the first unread post in the thread, but clicking the snark icon of a forum takes you to the first page of the newest topic. Might be better if it takes you to the first unread post of the newest topic - bit annoying when you click on it and it takes you to the first page of a long thread.

this isn't really a suggestion more of a question, anywhos, why was the snarkpit changed from v.3 to v.4?

anywhos, why was the snarkpit changed from v.3 to v.4?

because we came up with so many new ideas, the old version wouldn't support them

each version, was a marked step up.

Just noticed that both Gwil and Cass have under 400 snarkmarks, which seems wrong considering their standing in the site. Perhaps more reward should be put on map comments and critiques, as they do these quite often rather than make maps or tutorials. A "usefulness" marker for the map author to rate the comment could be cool, but of course it would need to be moderated to ensure it wasn't misused. There could just be a selection from "Not useful", "Useful" or "Very useful", each of which gives the comment writer a different amount of snarkmarks, thus ensuring any misuse really doesn't have a huge impact if gone unnoticed.

on the other side of the coin, we have members who have contributed a fairly tiny portion to the site, but have extraordinary high marks..

the ONLY reason i have not brought this up before, is because i was afraid the system would be scrapped if it was noticed that they have such high scores when valued members are so low. before anyone scoff's, it is a real concern because the snarkmark system has never been fully accepted, and it would be a shame to lose something that can work if the kinks are worked out.

since we the members do not know the exact ratio's the marks are divided by, its really hard to suggest a solution.. would it be possible to post the current ratio so we can work from there?

[edit] this is not intended to sound like an elitist comment, you are more than welcome to apply any term you feel comfortable with to assign value to the people who contribute more to the snarkpit as a whole.. i only chose "valued" because i couldn't come up with any other term less specific.
