What if you have a large list of code? There is no other option is there? The graphical toolbar directly above the post-text-box only shows bold, italic, ..., quote, and code, right? You'd be forced to make a post that is 39 meters high.
But ahar! I am here to free you from the constraints put upon your withering soul!
If you insert a large amount of code, don't use the IPB wrapper [ code ], instead use [ codebox ], and you'll see that a wonderful scrolling text box is provided, and your 39 meters of code fits wonderfully in a smaller, more readable area.
Here is an example:

All praise the [ codebox ] wrapper!

I just need to be able to see all the code at once, and navigating two scrollbars is pain >_< On other forums I always end up copy&pasteing into notepad >_<
), otherwise I'd just prefer to have them attach it, and just view it in my own IDE.
