Your name doesn't come to mind
as someone who posts annoyingly vague sort-of-questions and complains about the answers or
as someone who asks the same questions over and over again and obviously isn't learning anything.

It depends. If have a question about an answer you got to a previous question, then you should post it in the same thread. If you're working on a specific project (like an oUF layout) and your questions are all about how to do/fix things in your layout, then posting them all in the same thread is also fine.
If your question is more general (eg. not specific to your layout) and not a follow-up to another question, you should post a new thread, with a descriptive title, so others with the same or similar questions can find your thread and benefit from the answers.

There are two options... you can wrap your code inside [ HIGHLIGHT="Lua" ] ... [ /HIGHLIGHT ] tags, and that auto-colors based on syntax, but I find many of the colors used very hard to read on the dark gray background, so I generally only use it for longer code blocks.
You can also use all the standard formatting tags like [ B ] and [ COLOR="PaleGreen" ] inside [ CODE ] ... [ /CODE ] tags, which is what I usually do if I want to emphasize specific parts of some code I'm posting. Don't go overboard, though.
