Hi:
I am exceptionally pleased with the new look and feel of the website, it's very well done.
I have one (hopefully small) suggestion -- as pleased as I am with the 'Browse Code' feature, please also consider adding a horizontal scroll bar to the file content display panel.
My reason for this request is that I use a greater than normal zoom setting (150%) in IE8.0.6001.18702, and the content display overlays the sponsored link column (note: this does *not* happen when the normal value 100% is used)
Thank you
Andrew

I second that. For code I prefer a horizontal scroll bar over word wrapping.
(also the code pane overlaps the right distraction pane when zooming in using FF3.0)

While improving a QA question, I saw this message in the preview area:
Unexpected error when attempting to retrieve preview HTML.
Here's a snapshot of the HTML I was working with:
Question
write a program to convert given year into roman ewquivalent of decimal
Decimal 1 5 10 50 100 500 1000
Roman i v x l c d m
example
Roman equivalent of 1988 is mdccclxxxviii
roman equivalent of 1525 is mdxxv
my program
<pre lang="C++"> #include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main(){
clrscr();
int yr,i,j=0;
char roman[20];
printf("Enter Year : ");
scanf("%d",&yr);
if(yr/1000>=0)
{
for(i=0;i<(yr/1000);i++)
{
roman[j]='m';
j++;
}
yr = yr - (i+1)*1000;
}
if(yr/500>=0)
{
for(i=0;i<(yr/500);i++)
{
roman[j]='d';
j++;
}
yr = yr - (i+1)*500;
}
if(yr/100>=0)
{
for(i=0;i<(yr/100);i++)
{
roman[j]='c';
j++;
}
yr = yr - (i+1)*100;
}
if(yr/50>=0)
{
for(i=0;i<(yr/50);i++)
{
roman[j]='l';
j++;
}
yr = yr - (i+1)*50;
}
if(yr/10>=0)
{
for(i=0;i<(yr/10);i++)
{
roman[j]='x';
j++;
}
yr = yr - (i+1)*10;
}
if(yr/5>=0)
{
for(i=0;i<(yr/5);i++)
{
roman[j]='v';
j++;
}
yr = yr - (i+1)*5;
}
if(yr/1>=0)
{
for(i=0;i<(yr/1);i++)
{
roman[j]='i';
j++;
}
}
printf("year in roman : ");
for(i=0;i<=j;i++)
printf("%c",roman[i]);
getch();
}</pre>
But it only prints "m"
can anyone help me to sort this problem?
Also, when I select "allow HTML" and paste, less than and greater than signs get HTML encoded anyway. When I select "escape HTML", the text I paste gets wrapped in a PRE block. It might depend on if "Ignore HTML in text (good for code snippets)" is also selected or if I try to paste inside a PRE block that I've already typed out... not sure.

|

Also, here was the question in... uh... question.
|
|
|
|
|
Seems to work fine here. Tested in Chrome, Firefox, IE7/8. Are you able to reproduce the problem?
|
|
|
|
|
Nope, can't reproduce either. Hamsters must have been off somewhere storing food in their cheeks or something. They appear to be on their well-oiled wheels again.

For a short while at least, the edit reply message page has/had a "Click here to view the range of emoticons available" which, when clicked, resulted in a "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?".
Things are getting weirder and weirder by the day.

I seem to have a 50% probability for the old-style dual column emoticons, and the "cool" new set-up.

Which browser are you using? Also, next time it happens, let me know which server you are on

I saw an image in this[^] QA entry. I know the image is hosted outside of CP, but I was surprised to see the image tag not being filtered. While in one hand it is useful to describe the problem at hand, on the other hand, I am afraid it will open the flood gates and it may change the look and feel of the site

What happened to my all my watched articles? The bookmarks page show there are no bookmarks for this item type. Each of the links in my watched items page goes to their respective list containing all the items in that list. For example the latest update on watched articles goes to http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/Latest.aspx which shows all articles ever posted not just my watched articles.

Trivial, but briefly confusing:
Looking at my Questions and Answers recently, I noticed that a couple of my answers were stated to have been posted just a couple weeks ago. But they were posted a LOT longer ago than that--over a year ago. If memory serves me, the date being shown is the date I looked at those answers earlier this month.
Similarly, a few days after posting a recent question, the list said I posted the question "Yesterday" instead of the correct 2 or 3 days earlier.
|
|
|
|
|
Can you point me to the specific answer that has the wrong date, please?

Well, I thought I could, but I see that I got confused. The Q&A Answer times are correct. I was confusing prior Article message activity with the Q&A forum. I think I need a nap.
However, the "posted by xxxx yesterday" error was real. The displayed times are correct now, but the info on this one[^] did say "yesterday" when it should have said "3 days ago" (Aug 13). At the same time, it also said "yesterday" for the Last Activity that actually occurred "2 days ago."

I normally create forum messages without allowing private email replies, i.e. my setting "Allow private email replies to this message" normally is unchecked and all seemed well. I did create one message yesterday, enabling e-mail replies on the edit page itself; ever since, the feature is acting up, I'm unable to turn it consistently off again. Sometimes "Sace settings" in "My Settings/Forum" stores it unchecked and later it is still unchecked, most often on a later inspection it is checked again.
Vista, FF3.0; I did try some CTRL/F5.
If there were a particular cookie involved, please tell me which, I'll delete it right away.
If there were caching effects causing this, I'd suggest to broadcast changes to settings immediately to all servers, I don't expect it to be a frequent operation at all.
Could you throw some interactive SQL and turn that checkbox off asap, pretty please. It is getting quite obstinate and annoying.

This has happened to me twice in the last 18 hours or so. I don't think it's a caching issue, as I've never enabled it before. But, twice now, it's apparently checked itself.
Mine just re-checked itself for the third time...

+1. Me too.

I've replied privately since I will need you to send me some private data from your browser.
My guess is there are two conflicting rows of preferences being stored for you. We have in place a system that automatically combines and discards superflous settings (which can happen when you browse logged in and not logged in on separate browsers) so it could be this.

What about our case? My settings looks changed.
'Allow private email replies to this message' is always checked when I try to reply a message. Unchecking it, does not help for next time. By default always checked - a change which I have not done.
Earlier it was fine.
UPDATE: I found my default settings updated. 'Allow private emails..." was checked. Was that updated by CP off late? As, I don't remember updating it myself.
Further, this default setting is getting overriden for now. It is always checked when I reply. Probably a cookie expiration needed.
