When I'm on web12 I don't get the list only the last item is shown 'All message boards...' when going over the menu item.

Only seems to happen on web12

I'm using chrome. (if that helps Smile | :)

)

Hmm I'd check it if I could but I can't really select what server I'm on Poke tongue | ;-P

O hold on I'm on web12 now, checking...

Yep it works

Although I don't have the add now (maybe the add serving hamster went over to the menu serving hamster to help out? Big Grin | :-D

)

[EDIT] The add not showing up seems to be only on the reply page and randomly on normal pages so might be difficult to pin point. [/EDIT]

[EDIT 2] Now I got the add back on the reply page. If I didn't have a screen proving the add wasn't there I'd start thinking I was going insane Smile | :)

add == advertisement?

Never heard that one before but did make me Laugh | :laugh:

But like I said I can't constantly reproduce it and doesn't seem to be all that often, so might not be worth the effort to track it down.

A month ago Chris fixed a bug rare enough that it took several months before we accurately identified the series of events that caused it. It would result in the last message that should've been returned in a forum view not being shown.

The latest nation. Procrastination.

It's a caching and threading issue that I'm reworking at the moment. As Dan said - these things can be awfully hard to reproduce on the live site, let alone in development.

However, I've gone back to first principles on parts of the code in the hope that using monosyllabic words will make the compiler finally understand me.

Code highlighting

This code highlighting really bugs me; the default language should be text, or perhaps it should be a per user setting.

Chris Maunder30-Aug-09 18:21

Why would you include plain text in a code block? Use <TT> if you want a fixed-width inline region.

Does <TT> have a button to insert automatically in the editor?

Also, the code tag is (ab)used to make inline edits of quoted text.

Even when I post code that I don't want highlit?

I have made the assumption that the chances that a CODE block will have code that the user doesn't want highlighted is less than the chance that it contains code they do want it highlighted and so ended up with the decision that if you don't want a CODE block highlighted then the <code lang="text"> option, while inconvenient for you, is more convenient for the majority of users.

I just tried it with a Regex; bleah, it's just black, I like the red of a code block.

Love the yellow sticky, your determination to get these idiots to read the rules is admirable - have you considered using blinking fuchsia. JSOP may venture out of the WPF and Lounge for that. Laugh | :laugh:
