I can’t type code in forum window, How can I reply or message with my code? :thinking:

When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (’).

Can you explain what is/isn’t happening, or what you expect to happen? “code” is just characters, literally the same as you typing there (var x = 7, function foo), so I’m a bit confused as to what the issue is: do you mean highlighted code?

Yes. You need to use the backticks for code in the forum.
