I'm probably being a knob, but why is it not letting me post/paste my code?
Version of Max?
What kind of platform?
OS version?
What do you mean by "copy/paste?" Do you mean into a patch? onto a webpage like this?
Got a reproduceable sequence of events so we're not guessing?
windows 8 ?
Thanks for your help.... i think i wasn't using close tags, i'll try now.
Still says server error?
I'm using m4l 5, ableton 8 on mackbook pro i7
Im selecting patch - copy compress - then on this forum, pressing code tab, pasting code (which is working) then close tags....
when I press submit reply it just says server error
I don't use the code tab I just paste the copy compressed straight in. It does whatever it needs do.
it puts in the /code thing I don't do that I just paste in the copy compressed.
besides it should appear automatically, i believe you dont even need to use those tags.
the code tag is for pasting snippets of code such as c++ or java
Compressed copy from the edit menu in Max is designed to be pasted like ordinary text. In fact, you can also delete the [pre] and [code] tags that are automatically generated. The relevant parts of the compressed data begin and end with dashes.
Another code test:

haha..... Guys, I thank you for your replys, and have posted many example patches before....
Yesterday, no matter what way i tried (all of the above included) i could write, but not succesfully post a patch/compressed code.
Today I do exactly the same thing and it works (as it has previously) straight away.

Thanks again :)
Peace
