When I'm editing an article to be submitted, if I click html mode, then toggle it back off, the editor doesn't work at all. The cursor won't show up, and I can't edit anything. I'm using firefox 3.0.12.

I've seen this before and all I can suggest is you upgrade to FireFox 3.5.

Is it known to be an FF 3.0.x bug, or are you just hoping it's a browser bug that's fixed in 3.5.x?

The issue has been reported by others on different sites and I was seeing the problem consistently in FF3 but not in FF 3.5.
In any case I have found a small hammer I can apply that might help kick Firefox back on track.

Mustaffa's post in meetings/get together from about 45m ago is not showing up with a last month filter, it is showing up with a last year filters. It doesn't appear to be a caching issue since I've gotten both versions to come up from the same server; and even when the message isn't showing in the forum the sidebar is indicating a new message exists.
I've reported this happening in the suggestions and bug reports forum before and you asked for any additional occurrences; but I don't feel like spelunking through a few months of posts to find the last thread I reported it on.
Edit: PS I saved both pages if you're interested in examining them.

Excellent - I will dive in now since we have a live one.
Thanks Dan. This helps a lot.

Hi Chris,
I've added a message, mine shows up in all filter settings, Mustafa's only for settings > 1 Month.
Any chance you swapped month and day numbers for some locations? that would make it June 8 for him.

Fixed.
The issue is that when we get a list of messages we have to also get an idea of the row bounds of the messages to return (eg rows 1 to 50 in a given forum, say). The procedure to calculate the row bounds is based on date and view style wasn't taking into account the sticky messages which are shown regardless of date. So, the procedure saw that there was one new message in the last month so retrieved 1 message: the sticky message.
I've made a tiny change and now it's all good.

Fix confirmed.
Normally it takes a major I don't know what and several hours for a fix to become in effect. Have you solved it by just changing a SP by any chance?

It's a pity someone came up with the idea of split rail fencing years ago. IF they didn't we'd never have fence post errors.

Chris, you might consider adding a couple of things to your "How to get an answer to your question" stickies:
- under no circumstance remove or empty a message; keep the thread intact and available for others to search and read.
- when a problem is solved, add "(SOLVED)" to the subject line of the original post, and cast an approval vote to the one or several answers that really helped you.
Some people seem to remove a question once it got answered satisfactorily, in order to "close" it.

Different forums still show different texts, e.g. Windows Forms forum.

Just an observation -
Some of the technical blogs are being commented on with things like "Fix the formatting", "Include an introduction" (and other standard article features) and other similar comments. The net result is that these entries are not being approved for general consumption, and then disappear off the list on the front page and (presumably) never get approved.
Am I correct in thinking that blogs don't have to adhere to the usual article standard, they just have to have some technical merit? If so, it might be worth updating the approval message and button text on blogs to make it clear this is a blog entry, the author was not writing an article, that CP scraped the content from a blog etc. etc. etc. which might allow more through (without discouraging those who moderate and offer the sterling advice they do). If not, I've just let through some stinkers. Whoops.

I've taken the attitude that blogs don't have to conform - in certain cases, the formatting is a result of imperfect scraping.

Most people don't differentiate between blogs and articles. I've seen some nasty comments on blogs admonishing the author saying it was too short to be an article.

I know what you mean, and sadly it seems some of those comments come from people you might expect better of. Sad, but true.

To be published they need to adhere, but the best thing to do is alert the blog writer that their blog has been consumed (even though they will have received an email) and let them know that it needs a little tweaking for it to be an article.
Most members mark their blogs with the CodeProject tag in order to have them consumed so they will be aware their entry will appear as an article. I say "most" because some members' feeds have been marked 'consume all' because their blogs are of such high quality and free of stories of cats and babies.

Hey Chris,
Can you make it more obvious that a blog entry is not an article? Perhaps a header indicating that this is a blog entry that was pulled from [original url] on [date pulled] and perhaps a brief sentence about the entry not being an article. That'd help improve the reaction people are giving blog entries right now.
