1. We often see answers such: Please click File, Export as zip in IDE to post your project:
Could a message pop up automatically when the individual puts too much code without including the project. The idea is to remind him, rather then stop him from posting. For example: “You posted too much code; you might be better off zipping your project; you may get a quicker response ”. You have a layout in your code; you might be better off zipping your project; you may get a quicker response”.


2. Please use [ code ] [ /code ] tags (without spaces) when posting code.. The idea is to remind him, rather than stop him from posting:
A message pops up if a user forgets to use the [ code ] [ /code ] tags without the spaces if code was detected, reminding him that the code is easier to read and he may get a quicker response and also explain to him what to do: Here is an example:
You forgot to use [ code ] [ /code ] tags (without spaces) to display your code. This is how it is done:
Enter your code, then go to the start of the code and type: [ code ] (without the 2 spaces) Then go to the end of the code and type: [ /code ] ( without the 2 spaces)
