I don't mind the code snippets and so forth, just NOT having to go through 
the whole sidebar.php file, to get to the end of a thread.. to reply to it. 
IMHO, code snippets, or little amounts of code that people post in a thread, 
isn't harmless at all.. and can/does generally.. help people in the future.. 
It's just when someone wants to dump a Moby Dick (Book/Novel) worth of code 
into a thread.. it's a bit TOO much..sigh. (Just makes more work, for the 
mods to clean up the code junk/mess, ya know?)

Awesome! I'm all for it! +1 from me ;) =)  IMHO, I think this will also help 
many, remember the url much easier too..=)  I was asked to re-do/make up a 
"new" Forum Rules, and include about using a pastebin.ca type service, for 
posting lengthy codes...but, I just might hold on that now.. =)

What do you think about temporarily doing that now, in the current Forums 
Thread? Just edit it quick, add about posting lengthy code there, and use 
the new url? Give it a "test" run a while maybe.. I dunno, what ya'll think?
