My exe.xml can some kind soul take a squint at it

The message area here would not accept the exe text for some reason so I gave up on the post. :dizzy:
 
Have you tried pasting the text in between the tags
Code:
 [/ CODE] ? (the hashtag button)

EDIT: here is how it looks with my DLL.xml file content:
EDIT2: ah ok, I got it: in the little options that are listed below the message edition area, there is something about "HTML". Set it to "HTML OFF", then validate your message :)

This forum software just does not like formatted .xml scripts. :dizzy:
Even when turning OFF the HTML, and selecting "Paste as Plain Text" there are still some problems...

If you then try to Preview or Edit your post, the format is destroyed, and the XML <tags> are removed.

This is a test (being new to the forum, and wanting to find out how)...., so (using "Textpad")
pj

Hrrrmmmph! Didn't work! Father Bill was right (again..) (as usual)... mutter-mutter
 
Second test... pasted as plain text..

<!--?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?-->
<simbase.document type="Launch" version="1,0">...space wasted..</simbase.document>
 
Third try - Switch Editor to "WYSIWYG Mode"...

<simbase.document type="Launch" version="1,0">Nope..</simbase.document>
 
Fourth try..

<!--?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?-->

- Edit:

Yup, it's the editor.

Suggestion: Use www.pastebin.com . Paste the content of the .xml, set date of expiration to something like "two weeks" and visibility to "unlisted", then post the link.
 
If you want to show someone your xml file why not zip it up and add it as an attachment?
 
Hi Roger;

My preferred method is to use the DropBox for everything except the sig pictures - where I use Mediafire.com, selecting "Forum Embed" as the link. I just wanted to see why others are having this issue with the forum. :dejection:

I know that adding as attachment is of no use to you Paul but might be of benefit to the original poster, Naismith or anyone else who wants to share an xml file. As Bill mentioned adding xml to a post at SOH upsets the forum software.
 
Recently UT2 and Follow stopped loading automatically although Autothumbnail still works. I have stared at the code and cannot see why not, the paths to the program are correct. I would be grateful for fresh eyes to maybe take the time and scan the code.


Arrgh The BETWEEN THE CODE THING WON'T WORK EITHER

Thanks very much! It works, twice in one week this man helps me out, we have a great community here.
 
Paul J deserves a gold star for helping out.

Sadly, there are no gold stars in the emoticons.

But there is a pig and pigs are cool (and taste delicious too) so here is a special little piggy for Paul

:pig:

(P.S. Penguins are cooler (I don't know what they taste like but seals sure do seem to like them) but, again, no emoticon for penguins).

No but we can vote the thread 5 stars so Paul the thread gets an "excellent" rating and this round of applause:applause:
 
Now you two just stop that! My wife gives me all the stars and kudos I need! :biggrin-new: I'm just glad it's fixed and I can stop sweating.

There's a nice little (Microsoft) app available free from here, which is a super tool for testing xml files. If the file has an issue, it won't open it initially, but tells you what's wrong and and will then open it in the normal Notepad so one can fix them!

All the Best, :encouragement:
