Looks ok to me.
Must be just me then. Perhaps it's a browser cache thing, but I see this:

Doesn't work here. Select and from are black, somewhere is blue. 'abc' is red as usual.

Is it just me, or is SQL code prettifying (specifically colours) broken on the site at the moment?

I've been getting the same thing and reported it the the SSC webmaster. No response, yet. I was going to send an email to Steve on the subject until I saw it mentioned on this thread. I might still send him one just because he might miss it here.

As a side bar, it's not just the colors that are affected. It used to be that if you started a click and hold just before a code window and selected up to the first line after the code window, you didn't first have to run the code to get it to come out on more than one long line. To me, that's the most aggrevating thing.

All of this used to work just fine until a couple of days ago.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

And one restart of the browser later, I have the same. I had the keywords in blue earlier, I think.

Does anyone know where are the downloaded js libraries stored in Win7?

I suspect that the problem is with the shared/google-prettify library but I do not have it in the IE9 cache.

Probably a cached stylesheet or something.
It's weird: it does the same thing in IE9 (which I very rarely open). Oh well, small irritation, it'll probably go away on its own at some stage. Glad it's not a site-wide problem.

It has been doing the same thing for me for the past few days. In that time, I have deleted all cache and rebooted - still looks the same though.

Chrome and IE8

Yes indeed, it must be a new year. Problems that were old are new again.

I feel like a black hole trying to absorb its event horizon.

Just to close this once and for all.

Absolutely no offense taken Brandie. You (all) can’t be wrong. I wish I would have seen this alert couple of days back. Thanks anyways. :unsure:
I am seriously evaluating my last week and I am more disappointed to myself than anyone.
Speaking like a true champ.
I have the same symptoms when I "work" too much (play here or elsewhere). 🙂
Just keep that in the back of your mind for the next time you cross your own personal limit. 😉

Not here, did you clear your cache or something?

Nope, done nuthin'. Might be just new posts, haven't checked yet. I just noticed my code came out properly coloured e.g. http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1232223-391-1.aspx

edit: No, not just new posts. Everything works properly for me.

Well new posts seem fine for me except the ones here where we did the tests.

It looks like they run the code via prettifier and then save it to the db.

Good for perf, but bad for design! :hehe:

Check Gail's original: http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/FindPost1232103.aspx

Most of the examples I posted were images, and therefore unlikely to change much 😉

Ah, thanks for clearing that up.

. . . the same person who upon been told that a particular piece of work would take no less than 15 days, scheduled it for 3 calendar weeks, despite knowing that the person responsible 1) worked 3 days a week. 2) was going on vacation 2 weeks into that 3 week period. . . .
Smells like Agile to me...

Sounds like a project manager with math skills augmented by dbcc timewarp.

If someone else can do the impossible, they can take the credit.

If not, I can see the scapegoat in this scenario.

Have had a discussion with Aaron Bertrand about case-sensitivity recently.
You knows he's super-anti-underscores?

Yes I do. I've had that discussion with him as well. We agree to disagree on that one.
