It looks like the click-to-expand method of pasting in copy-compressed max patches breaks when you try to include anything else wrapped in 

 tags. I really love the feature but is there any way to preserve whitespace properly when posting other code snippets, like javascript, to the forum?

I would just post a patch with a comment displaying the js-code.

(I've always been curious to why nobody shares their email on the forum this way)

Good idea, I'm not sure why I didn't think of that, the [js] object is even clever enough to keep the indentation, even if [comment] does not display it!

You can use the pre tag to preserve formatting:

function test() {
    this is
    my
            silly
            code
}


function test() {
	this is
	my
			silly
			code
}


^ I was… testing. I was trying to understand why wrapping a < pre > around < code > wasn't working, it appears using just < pre > does it. To admins, feel free to delete this reply!

Some quick tips on the forum can be found here. But if you have anything that you think should be pointed out, we'd be glad to hear suggestions!

Anangel Argonaut is right, in that pre tags are best for multi-line code.
