How to get the nice, aligned yellow YABS block into LET?
in Help
Since discovering YABS, why would you buy anything without a YABS score? If only I had known - slow learner here - it would have saved me from some really awful VPSs sold here on LET (How can use a VPS with 8mb/s 4k IO?). Now, I want to do my part, post YABS when I buy if others haven't done so. So how do you get the nice yellow aligned block? When I copy and paste, I just get the white background. So I must be doing something wrong.

Format as code, e.g. put it into
< pre > ... < /pre > tags
that is 2000 iops by the way and perfectly fine for a lot of things. Maybe learn a bit more too, about what the yabs numbers actually mean, to even better your purchases.
OK. I want to learn. What is it good for? It is NOT good for running WP websites on Virtualmin hosts. For that, a minimum of 40mb/s 4k or the website is glacial.
You are a very old member here. Hi, my friend!!
Just put 3 ` together on start and end
So your.wordpress on virtualmin reads and writes 10000 different small files each second constantly?
I'm not trying to argue. All I know is, based on experience, if I buy VPS with less that 40MB/s the experienced performance is poor. I've been buying Ryzen based VPSs lately, 150 -> 250 mb/s. They have really snappy performance. Given a choice, that is what I will buy.
This could also answer your future questions about formatting here
I know that you mean well by what you posted. And, please note that I did thank you. But, saying to me "you can use markdown in your post" is like saying you can write in Nepalese. I am not that good at this stuff, and there is a limit to what an old geezer like me can learn, and write now that is Spanish. So, I understand teaching a man to fish verus giving him a fish. But, right now, I need a fish.
So, I guess I will see if ChatGPT can reverse engineer the nicely formatted Yellow ones.
No offence was meant, but this text includes link and is located right below comment post form and I find very useful because it refers to actual examples of Markdown use, not only including explanation on code formatting (yelow box) but other features you might want.
This is paragraph 1, formatted normally (not as code)
This is paragraph 2, formatted normally (not as code)
For the two paragraphs formatted as code, just indent them (including the empty line between them) two spaces each
Mate, then start taking the fish you are given. It is in the very first answer you got here and another method was in @emperor's comment
So when was the expiration date?
Paste the yabs in the comment text box, select the text with the mouse, click on the paragraph symbol in the toolbox above the comment box, the inverted P like in Borland Sprint 1.5, on the left of the smiling face. Select Code from the drop down menu.
Nghia, you shouldn't state the obvious. I'am watching you closely, you are not doing good.
Got it sorted, thanks to everyone who chimed in. The simplest method — and the one I ended up using — was the one @emperor suggested: just put three backticks on a line by themselves before the YABS output, and three more on a line by themselves after it. Everything between those two fences gets rendered in this nice yellow, monospaced, aligned block.
I worked it through with a little help from an AI assistant, who walked me through what was actually going on. Posting a recent run as proof I finally have it figured out:
Thanks again, all.
well done lad
