I've found a temporary fix for those annoying grey boxes in Firefox, assuming you have the Web Developer extension installed.
First, create a style sheet:
[syntax="css"]pre { overflow: visible; }[/syntax]
and save it with any filename.
Next, go to the CSS menu on the toolbar and click "Add User Style Sheet". Select the style sheet you just created. Whenever you view a QB Express issue, just add that style sheet and those boxes should go away. I caution you because this will make some of the longer lines of code extend past the horizontal viewport, creating a horizontal scrollbar. IMHO, this solution is better than no solution at all.
Edit: If you refresh the page or navigate from the page (using the same window of course), you will have to re-add the style sheet.

Nice job man!
I just roughly skimmed it, but so far this one seems to have alot of quality over quantity. Database design and cliff tile tutorials? I think more than just basic geeks will find interest in this. Again, nice job Pete and contributors.

Even just a simple typo can lead to disaster for your code. Using the above example, I'll simulate a few bugs, describe how to find them, ect...
Sweet irony..

Aga, man, where have you been!
Quote:Z!re's ridiculously ambitious "massive offline open RPG", FieldView, has made some progress in the past month. Some new concept art has been posted on Plantasy Studios (the official site), and a new encryption/decryption algorithm challenge has been started. The FieldView crew is also looking for voice actors, a sound editor, a music composer and a pixel artist to help with the development. I don't know how much coding has gotten done for FieldView, but at least it's going somewhere.
Ouch... almost scathing
