Even better would be an additional field on the form; Title, Concise, and Complete. That lets you use your own distinctive P&TB style in the first paragraph of your question - but the concise field, which is what shows on the front page, has a short, clear statement of your question.

For example:

Title: JAHQ (Just Another Hash Question) by BBQ

Concise: I need to alphabetize a hash of a hash of a hash. How?

Complete: -Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?
-I think so brain, but is the world ready for a gay cartoon mouse marriage?

...

Or is that too complicated? Puts a little more work on the shoulders of the user, perhaps, but it makes life a lot easier for the readers of the front page.

It also solves the "code formatting" problem. That concise section should never have actual code in it; so since it and th title are the only things displayed there, the front page never gets wider than 1024 x 768 from lines of code. Which would make everybody happy. <G>
