Hi.

Some years ago, we had a Select - button. It allowed us to select the source code, when the CODE - tag was used.

What happened to it?

Yes, but there was a button below the source frame.
C:
void main(){
while (1) {
// do nothing, just wait
}
}
There was a button that said select, and we could select all the source code, and hit CTRL+C, and paste in in wherever we'd like.

How do you get rid of the line numbers in a Code section?
That question has been asked before in the thread Small improvement to [CODE] tag.
It is possible to turn line numbering off? That makes it easier to copy code from a post to try and run it. Not a biggie since you can copy it from a Reply box if needed.
The line numbers don't get selected when I select code in a post, so I don't see a need to be able to turn them off.

You are quite right. Thanks.

But what happened to the button?
I haven't been a member of the forum long enough to know for sure, but I suspect that the Select button was part of the old vBulletin forum software. I don't know if XenForo supports this feature or not.
