I have noticed a few problems with the <pre> tag, presumably due to the way PHP handles arrays. First, the closing tag does not always work, leaving all remaining text within the tag, and if it happens to be a paragraph (or more than one line long), it will overflow the width of the containing box. Also, for some of my problems for the algorithms category, the programming codes are not properly handled, changing some quotes (") into escaped quotes (\") each time I modify the problem. So, something that starts out as printf("-") will after a few modifications become printf(\\\\"-\\\\"), and so on. It does this whether I type in the quotes directly or if I use the HTML &quot; code. Obviously, I can't offer a remedy without knowing how the page works, but perhaps the stripslashes() function in PHP3+ would serve as a solution.

Just a test:

string hi="Hello";


printf("Hello\n");


printf(hi);

And actually, looking at the page source, the tags are showing up correctly. I can think of no reason it would mess up like that, unless one of the scripts linked by source is doing something..

I guess nothing is ever as simple as it seems.

Those users have not been recorded as having ever logged on, so that time is just from the start of system time, which on most systems is (I think) 1970. On this site, it doesn't appear that anything before May 5 of last year was properly logged, and anyone with a uid < 65 (except, of course, for number 1, levik) is not showing up as having ever logged on, even if they have left comments or posted problems.
