Now I know now you guys feel.
Coding, quite frankly, is one of the hardest things that I've done in quite a while. But, the reason it's so hard, is because of this. The thing I'm doing the coding in the first place. Now, before anyone of you jump on me, I like this feature, and I understand the purpose of it. It was meant for the sole purpose of making your post look "nice" (note how I use air quotes). I understand the reason behind it, yet, the problem lies in it being harder in some areas. You see, last time, I was trying to figure out a way to code my scrollbars in but I accidently changed the scrollbars on the site, too.
I asked someone what was going on and they said it might be because I haven't specified the name of it. As so as I'm told, I did what they said but it didn't do anything. After trial and error, I came to the conclusion that it just doesn't work for me. I'm well aware that I'm not well versed in complex things such as this. Thus, I understand that it's my problem rather than the code I integrate. So maybe I just haven't learned enough to do this.
Which now brings me to this. Is coding for you as frustrating as some make it out to be or does it depend on the person. And, if it does depend on the person, for how long does one, on average, teach themselves to learn it. It’s pretty much a common truth that it takes time, effort, and patience to master it. This might come in handy if you're making a site, but when it's some post on the forum, not so much.
Note: By no circumstance, am I having issues with the source editor. I have yet to find actual, clear, easy tutorials that apply to situations like these, and the simpler ones have only given me the bare bones of it. And yes, this was all about the whole scrollbar thing. I'm sorry but I had to say it.
