Hi,
Recently I start to find the comments on CP articles appearing in orange; I'm not aware of any change I made to my browser settings, and I can't find any facility to set colors anywhere on CP itself in my "Profile."
For my old eyes, the orange text is hard to read.
Appreciate any suggestions.
thanks, Bill

I noticed that too recently. I assumed it was some momentary glitch while they were switching style sheets or something.
Visual Studio is an excellent GUIIDE.

Nope.

Can you point me to an example?
Sounds like an author has a hanging "h2" somewhere.

Hi Chris,
Lambda Expressions and Expression Trees: An Introduction[^]
The above still has orange comments, and I haven't even finished my second liter of soy-milk for the day.
best, Bill

I think it might be indicative of the respect (faith ?) in which I hold CP that the thought the orange text could be a "fluke" did not cross my mind, and that my immediate assumption was there was a new feature to set comment colors ... if only I could locate it ...
best, Bill

This is just a suggestion, not a bug report.
Would be nice to see a "Messages Posted In This Forum" link at the top of each forum (such as the Lounge or Site Bugs / Suggestions forums). It would act like the "Messages Posted" link on my profile page, but would only show messages I've posted in that specific forum.

See here[^]. As I suggested before, can we get a normal text editor?

We're working on it

In the mean time, would it be possible to roll it back to a version of the forums posting form please? It seems fairly reliable, and would probably be more familiar to most regulars here.

That sounds like it could at least be a good temporary solution. Thanks for the suggestion. We'll do some tests internally and see how well that works and consider some other option. Don't worry, this is a priority for us. We'll have something out for you guys as soon as possible.

I just tried out Quick Answers and even edited a few questions and answers -- looks promising!
I selected questions with the "STL" tag and it looks to me like every question that got tagged with "C++" also got the STL, ATL, and WTL tags, even though they're not appropriate, at least for the questions I've looked at so far. Is that a bug, or should I go ahead and remove those inappropriate tags when I see them?
Thanks again for doing all the work to set up Quick Answers -- it's definitely renewed my interest in answering questions again!

Thanks for the kind words Gordon!
Yes, you can absolutely adjust those tags. This is exactly the kind of thing we're hoping to get with the new system.

Hello all,
Would it be possible to add a syntax checking button in the post form?
I don't know... It could call something like the google checking thing...
just an idea... probably it has been posted before and also probably will be impossible or not interesting but here it goes...
Keep up with the good job.

If we had something that did a quick Ajax request to run code within PRE tags through the CS (et al.) compiler and then display the results, we'd lose 90% of our questions .
But seriously: most snippets won't compile because they are snippets. We could run it through a simple syntax checker (like in the VS editor) but I'm not aware of a simple, foolproof way to do this. Those who need the check most will be the ones least likely to set their snippet block's language correctly.

Not that one again. They were kicked off at least once before.

I deduced from the FAQ that since I am a lowly member of tribe, I cannot edit
somebody's question/answer; but does that imply that I cannot add my answer to
any question? I tried to answer a question[^] but it says I am not permitted to do it.
Is it a bug or requirement?

Wow that's a bug. Any logged in member should be able to answer questions. We'll have that fixed very shortly! Thanks for reporting.

All fixed now. Sorry about that!
