Are you posting code? Yes… I am… and yes, I’m using code blocks. This warning should not show when the user is already using the blocks. Here is more or less what my post was: The change is: adding back the s… --- ## [Can the Unformatted Code Detector be disabled per user?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/can-the-unformatted-code-detector-be-disabled-per-user/319263)

Users posting unformatted code will see a warning message instructing them how to format it correctly. :triangular\_flag\_on\_post: Not a fan of content detection… Will users be able to disable this or is it going to be … --- ## [Resetting the Unformatted Code Detector per user/for all users?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/resetting-the-unformatted-code-detector-per-user-for-all-users/319268)

So if a user checks “don’t show this again”, how do they get it back?

This works for people attempting to post text, but there are many new users posting screen captures or pictures taken with a portable device.

I’ve just encountered an issue with trying to edit a post with an indented codeblock. It appears this theme component does not like that style anymore and insisted on backticks. --- ## [Recognising unformatted JSON?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/recognising-unformatted-json/319267)

Does this also check for unformatted JSON?
