Code Blocks for Migrated Forums

Question
-
Code blocks in posts that have been migrated to this new forum system are not formatted well.
See: http://forums.msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/netfxbcl/thread/8af74529-8dbb-4fb3-88d2-3c955851a453
The code block in the binarycoder post was originally multicolored, single-spaced, and in a different font size. Now it is all blue, extra-spaced, and in a large font size.
Please consider adding some additional processing to properly convert code blocks. At a minimum, fix the font size and the spacing. If you need to convert the colors to all black text, so be it.
Since code is such a big part of these forums, I hope you will consider this before migrating more forums and perhaps fixing the code blocks in forums that have already been migrated.

This isn't something we are going to fix, four years ago we migrated from a legacy platform and code looked different.
