Not to dog you, but I neuter expect a response like that.

When I'm entering a post in a forum (like I'm doing right now) there are a number of thingies above the textbox that paste good stuff into the post. The one that says link[^] omits the ^ , which means I've got to navigate to the spot and type it in myself (or wind up with a unclickable 'new window' link). Being a lazy sod , I'd like the caret to appear as magically as the rest.
IIRC, there's somewhere else on CP where the same thingy works right.

http://www.codeproject.com/Members/OriginalGriff[^] It does for me (Chrome 12.0.742.122) - but only when I highlight an address and click link[^]
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

OK, now I think I get it. I have been clicking the thingy then filling in the blanks - obviously doing things the hard way. FF3, 4, 5 and Chrome ?5 - 12 all behave the same.
Thanks, guys.

Does Chrome not support autolinkify when pasting? FF's done so for a while. Just paste the URL and then optionally type over the (auto selected) text.

Yes, it does - it also supports it (rather nicely) if you highlight a text phrase and paste a link onto it. Auto link with [^] and the highlighted text as the user prompt.

FF does that too, I didn't want to confuse peter with too many options though.

Congratulations! You (plural) have confused me. AFAIK, the effect I noticed is the behaviour of CP's JavaScript in the reply form, not that of the underlying browser. Start a reply and look at the page source, from about line 380 for the next 700-odd lines.

By does Browser X support Y, I meant "Do CP's browser specific scripts for Browser X support feature Y". Generally it's the case that IE and Opera don't get all the shiney new javascript features; the former because it's historically been a giant turd, the latter because it doesn't have enough of a user base for Maunder to feel like spending any time twiddling if the FF/Chrome version doesn't work perfectly out of the box.

Yeah. I understand all that. What I missed was your shorthand

This[^] from him/her/it[^] smells of spam to me. Yes, the download is free, but it's only a trial version. Then you have to pay (or your data is held to ransom?) Or am I oversensitive at the end of the week?

It's pink, it is definitely pink. It'd be better if the spamster could actually format a message and put in a proper link though.

I can't reproduce this but from time to time when I open a message it jumps up and out of the visible screen.
Seems to be happening the most when the browser isn't full screen.
Chrome 12.0.742.122

I see this also using Chrome.

Is there a way for an author to convert an article to a tip? or vice versa?
If there isn't, this could be useful ... at least before publishing ...

Great!
BTW: What happened to sorting by reputation under who is who? I'm afraid I must admit to a little vanity

You don't see "Reputation" in the "Order By" drop down?
