Can't enter code and results in message

[RogerD]

I'm a new member, and am attempting to ask a question that requires entry of Terminal commands and results. These contain the "at" sign, so apparently trigger detection as an email address. This is prohibited for new members, and creates a big problem in trying to accurately relay my question.

I will try to find a way around this, but it's really something that needs systemic attention!

If anyone has a suggestion on how to deal with this, please reply!

Try putting at instead of @, or a space on either side of @.

I already got it done. I had to do all the cut and paste into a text processor, then do a find and replace, etc...

It's just kind of silly and a pain in the (*), even though I know why it's done.

It would probably seem less silly if the site was littered with links for larger man parts and Rolex watches to put on them...

Yeah it's a workaround but overall worth it imo.

I guess if you can afford a Rolex you can wear it wherever you want, but it would make it more difficult to check the time.
