Hello All,
I just identified a bug in "Ask Question" related to UI design and validation.
The Char textbox in front of question title text box is editable.
I don't see any use of keep that text box editable.
Is this a bug or expected behavior ?
Also if "char" be modified to pural "Char" then it will match the format to other strings in UI.

Good catch on the characters textbox. As to your other point, I appreciate that English isn't your first language, but Char is not the plural of char (chars is), and in this case it is meant to be read with the numbers beforehand so that it reads as, for example, 234 chars.
|
|
|
|
|
Hmmm, char is singular. The plural would be std::string .

What does it mean "Question in Gray color" ?
|
|
|
|
|
It means that people have been downvoting the question.

Should there be?
Just along for the ride.

Should, no. Could, maybe, that's why I asked.

yet another rep recalculation?

It took me time to understand what you meant. Maybe SOPA could be used as excuse for the next "normal" outtage

Another "planned" unplanned outage in CP world?

|

|

Actually, an "unplanned" planned outage. Or a "planned" plann... Or a ..

We thought (and debated) long and hard about it. SOPA can certainly affect us because we accept user-generated content and the bill, if enacted in its current form, would allow malicious and frivolous litigation against us. Or it could shut us down.
The US does not have the legal right to police the internet nor is there sufficient moral ground to have the legislation written in its current format. To me it's a clear case of pandering to the increasingly out of date business models perpetuated by the special interest groups who continually try to control a market instead of adapting, and serving, a market.
We've already seen a few clearer heads speak out in Washington, and so we decided to keep our cool until the direction being taken is clear.

OK.
I had similar experiences at work, or even in private, where a maybe-soon-to-come law/event/.. could influence my workplace or private life in a very bad way. But even based on that, I cannot say if a massive reaction right away against an still-to-evolve idea is better than a massive protest once the facts are really set, so I understand the difficulty in taking a position about it. I can cite cases where the "right-away" protest nip the law in the bud, others where it only lead to killing an awkwardly communicated but good idea.
Another question: CP may or may not be directly affected; if not, would you show solidarity to the sites which we are all visiting every day, and which would be affected ?
|

The desire to nip it in the bud is very, very strong. Believe me.
CodeProject will be as affected as any other website. If the bill is cleaned up to the point we're we're only affected by our own stupidity then my feeling is that others would be in the same situation, and I most certainly can't support websites that promote copyright violations.
However, if we somehow dodged the bullet but the affects on the internet as a whole were unacceptable, then yes, we would stand by our brothers.
