There is no reason to not wrap the text outside of the output box.
I never wanted a scroll bar (and don't have one)

you know cos you scroll down with scroll bars? I suppose its not funny if you have to explain it :(
I think an embedded box with scroll-bars should be automatic after a certain amount of lines of code. When its 20 lines or 30 lines it fits fine. But when people post a problem with 100+ lines it stretches the thread like crazy.
But scroll bars would make difficult to read the code. You'll need to paste in an editor.
I hate the scrollbars other sites have on their code boxes. I much prefer it to stretch the thread, so long as it's only in the y-axis. In the x-axis it's annoying, but I can live with it.

Maybe a Spoiler can do it?

Maybe Twicker did just mistake/forget something or it's still thinking about #define.

I too vote against scrollbars in code tags.
Other C++11-compliant syntax highlighters highlight them the same color as return, int, etc.

Twicker, I think you chose the best solution! :D
This is definitely favorable to stretching the whole post :)
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. |

Before articles go live, only the article's author and the admin(s) have access to them. This prevents authors from taking feedback from other forum members.
Before articles are approved by admins, they should be accessible to all who have the link to it. But the article should not be enlisted in the articles section.

Star ratings are not feedback. And real feedback is something you won't get much of, regardless of whether or not your article is published.
I would like to suggest a fixed-width font reply mode, possibly scripted to capture tabs. It would make writing code on-the-fly much easier. Then again, maybe I'm just being lazy -- most of us would rather copy-paste from their favorite text editor.
I kind of wish I had the reference box while I was reading the forums so we can paste helpful links easier... hint hint twicker
