Sorry about this - I actually meant to have something to show you around the time that I added that tab but some last minute checks on what our prankster database was doing stalled us a little.
Turns out the database was complaining about something completely different so the rest gets rolled out today.
Actually it's already roll out as beta. Should be easy enough to find

Seems like there is a rather elaborated definition but I am missing the purpose; what is it you want to achieve?
Where is it you want to receive our feedback? There isn't a forum where I found the details...
And it doesn't make much sense to discuss it here as most readers wouldn't have a clue.

I just did. There is a lot I'm not understanding right now, however I'm pressed for time today (and maybe the rest of the week, still have to enter something lean and extremely mean).

If, as I oftimes do, I go to my settings and then check Applications, the message telling me to click here, the 'MC_ApplicationsListLinkPlace' div is being squeezed into the div with a 'small text' class. Iz vairy oogly.

It should be better now. working on a more robust solution.
Robust == nasty workaround for IE7 and below's crap rendering.

Nope. Same effect. May I suggest that rather than putting the break after the "small text" class you put it before? by the way, I am using I.E. 8.0.6

yep I couldn't get it formatted properly, so I decided to use English on the edit.

Actually I uploaded the wrong CSS file. Can you try now?
The correct fix (for that situation) is that the tabs should be inline-block, not inline. However, that is causing the selected tab to disappear on another page in an odd way.
IE8 standards + everything else works fine
IE7 and below: broken.
As a workaround I will insert a div with clear:both for IE7--

Works fine for me.

Will that fix it for FF2 as well? (IIRC, it doesn't support inline-block either)
Maybe you should just add a popup saying that if you're still using an old browser, you don't deserve to have a private group.

As it is monday, lets keep it a simple one (actually 3 bugs):
By default the syntax colorizer recognizes strings literals by looking for double quotes, and it knows \" isn't a delimiter, however it goes astray on a simple line such as string s="This is \\"+"bad";
which yields
[1] s="This is "+"good";
[2] s="This is \\"+"bad";
[3] s="This is bad too";
bug 1:
a double backslash is not interpreted correctly: An even number of escapes doesn't affect the following character. The correct rule would be:
Double quotes are delimiters unless preceded by an odd number of consecutive backslashes.
Similar things may apply to other languages and other escape characters (just in case you decide to add a Regex forum, and LANG=REGEX some day).
bug 2:
the "inside string" state is carried from line 2 to line 3; C# does not do that (C and C++ accept this IIRC), each line needs its string literal closed correctly.
bug 3:
the real example was in one of the programming forums today (C#? NET Framework?) however I couldn't find it again, as search for \\" simply doesn't work at all. There are times full text search based on word indexing isn't good enough.

Yes, unfortunately this is an old bug that has driven me nuts but I'm going to have one of the other guys with more patience than me dig in. It's a RegEx issue.
BTW: was it you who wanted the <pre linecount="on"> option? How's this look?
1 Line
2 Another line
3 A further line

yep. I'm guilty of most readability suggestions, coloring remarks, etc.

excellent.
Can we get a user setting to have it ON all the time (say a fifth checkbox, with persistence)?
And you might turn it ON by default, otherwise it will take ages before the majority starts using it.
While you're at it, you might consider a selectable default language, mine would be 'cs' for PRE
and 'none' or 'text' for CODE (that's if you didn't throw coloring out all together for CODE blocks).

Three more ideas on PRE blocks, actually on Collapse code snippet PRE blocks in articles (and probably also applicable in forums):
1. It isn't always code that goes into a PRE block, it could be an input file, an output file, in fact anything that can take advantage of a non-prop font and a colored background. So the text isn't 100% OK.
2. It would be nice to get the PRE blocks themselves numbered automatically. So 1+2 could result in:
Collapse block #1
With numbered blocks you may avoid the request for an initial line number to differentiate line 1 in one PRE block from line 1 in another PRE block.
A problem now is text will start to refer to such blocks, then upon editing and inserting/removing a PRE block, the references may become wrong. Not sure how to solve this.
[EDIT]Maybe accept a name='text' attribute in a PRE tag, and show the name, when present, instead of the sequential number.[/EDIT]
3. It doesn't make much sense to collapse a one-line block, so for those I would reduce it to:
block #1.
I remember having seen an article-needing-approval that consisted entirely of code, each line in a separate PRE block, all collapsible and the whole thing looking horrible.

Definitely #3, but I'm not sure how much #2 would be used. It's a nice features, definitely, but I'll leave this on the back-burner for now.
"name=text" is also a nice idea but only you and Hans would use it. I fear this is a bigger issue and one that needs a simpler, automatic solution.

The 20 articles I have written are shown on my MemberArticles[^] page, but the count at the top says 21.
Also, the Who's Who list, sorted by Article Count, seems to be messed up. For example on the first page, number 23 is 'Jijo raj' with 1 article! And if you go to his MemberArticles[^] page, it says he has 1 article, but no details are listed.
Thanks,
Nick

As of this writing, I haven't published any articles at CP, but my profile shows that I've submitted 7 articles. 
Thanks Chris. Like I promised, I'll buy you a few beers.
