What is pastebin?
pastebin is here to help you collaborate on debugging code snippets. If you're not familiar with the idea, most people use it like this:
- submit a code fragment to pastebin, getting a url like http://pastebin.com/1234
- paste the url into an IRC or IM conversation
- someone responds by reading and perhaps submitting a modification of your code
- you then view the modification, maybe using the built in diff tool to help locate the changes
How can I view the differences between two posts?
When you view a post, you have the opportunity of editing the text - this creates a new post, but when you view it, you'll be given a 'diff' link which allows you to compare the changes between the old and the new version
This is a powerful feature, great for seeing exactly what lines someone changed
How can I delete a post?
If you clicked the "remember me" checkbox when posting, you will be able to delete post from the same computer you posted from - simply view the post and click the "delete post" link.
In other cases, contact us and we will delete it for you
