The examples are in here[^].
I copied the lot from my HTML file (which looked exactly the way I wanted it in FF3, given a preamble with some elementary styles) and pasted it into the wizards editor. Don't recall what mode it started of in; it took me a while to discover it has two modes, it does not tell, nor does it tell which mode it is in. I do recall it behaved differently for code (with an occasional < in a for loop) and HTML-tagged text data; it felt like a bug but I never was able to put my finger on it, otherwise I would have reported it.
BTW1: why is it the WYSIWYG editor has a lot of functionality that becomes unavailable in source mode? e.g. I would like to be able to search for something in the source. And a find-and-replace would have eased things a bit (so I could turn all & into & or the other way around).
BTW2: the current Q&A seems to have three modes: two in Edit, one in Preview. Not sure I understand that either. Is preview identical to WYSIWYG, except it also is read-only? If it were really WYSIWYG why would I still need a preview?
PS: I need command line interfaces for automation, e.g. batch files creating ZIP files. That is how I create the download packages for my articles, and much more.

In design mode you are editing WYSIWYG. It should be very, very obvious that you have formatted text, images, layout etc. In source mode you see plain text in Courier New and lots of HTML tags. It's the usual HTML mess.
BTW1: Some things we get for free in WYSIWYG mode because browsers give it to us. Some of these things are hard to implement within HTML mode. Some things we simply haven't implemented.
BTW2: In Q&A yes, there is WYSIWYG, Edit and preview. Preview gives you a final sanity check and will colourise code snippets.

In forums that are being kept private, you can see the number of pages (and you can go to those pages, but of course they show as empty since they are private)
I'm not sure whether that's really a bug, but it seems odd to me..

Should be fixed.

I attempted to paste some text (copied from notepad) into a new message on this site bugs forum and the text was placed inside of an HTML anchor tag as the HREF. I think the problem was that the start of my text was a URL and the algorithm that detects URL's thought the entire block of text was a URL (newlines, spaces, punctuation, and all).
Visual Studio is an excellent GUIIDE.

Can you re-paste the message so I can have some testing data?
Thanks!

Also, after I paste a URL, the text inside the anchor tag typically gets highlighted. While that happened with the above test message, the highlight was off by a few characters, likely due to the newline characters in the message I pasted. FYI, I am on IE8 and compatibility mode is NOT turned on. Windows XP Pro SP3.

I was browsing the lounge and clicked on the link to go to Christian Graus's profile. However, the page took a while to load then gave me this message:
An Error Occurred
Ticket: (No ticket provided - possibly an error in the error-system)
Error: An error occurred in this page. The error has been recorded and the site administrator informed.
It seems this issue happened back in April.

Did it happen again? I saw one error in our logs that was most likely due to you hitting a page just as the AppPool was being recycled, but nothing that repeated.

Yeah, I just tried it again and it happened again. Give it a try yourself: Christian Graus
Also funny to note that Christian Graus has a palindrome as his member ID (6556). And it is very nearly 65536 (2^16). Probably the most computeriffic member ID ever!

At least not with Opera latest version.
I did a search for "Azure" in the Lounge and set the date range to June 2009 and left the end date to today but when I click search it always defaults back to Nov 1999 for the start date.
Also it would be very helpful to be able to sort by date, i.e. I'm interested in the latest posts on something, not relevance.

We've been trying to reproduce this but can't.
One question: when you chose "June 2009" did you change the year and month, or change the year and moth and then click on a date?
If you don't actually click on a date it doesn't change the date picker value.

I just tried it again and realized that if you don't actually click on a day in the month calendar it doesn't enter anything. I was just changing the month and the year and then clicking off of it. Sorry. I wasn't thinking about the actual day as I didn't care what day it was just the month and year.
It's working fine as long as I click on a day.

Any way you could see yourself creating the option to have forums, especially private ones, allow for five-votes i.e. strong approval, without having one-votes, i.e. "I hate you and everything you stand for?"

Don't know why you were voted down by another Gold. I'd quite like to see that, or alternatively the ability to bring voting back, but cut the wire which allows messages to be automatically removed.

I suspect it was Chris. He hasn't forgiven me for my 24 hour gnus channel.

instead one 1-5 vote, a simple 'Yeah Baby' symbol, the more you get the bigger the icon.
Gives you something to aim for.

Then we could go around trying to see which one of us had the biggest one???
