Trying to make it short and sweet yet look good since I'm going to link it from another site for customer reference.

Just tried it from Firefox 14 and it worked from there...

Answers in QA are being displayed as if a dozen or more blank lines have been added to them. It makes for a lot of scrolling.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

Chris said that he would be posting a fix in a bit.
Why is common sense not common?

Looks like it was a result of the recent site update. Code just took a while to spool up. Working fine for me now.

Can you try Ctrl+F5? That may kick things.

They aren't appearing in IE9 either.

Firefox 14 works. For now.

Anything wrong when pasting "stuff" in the message of a new message ?
(both on firefox and chrome)
When asking a question in the "quick answers" section.
I trying to paste some code in the message area, and everything in the current browser page stop working.
I cannot type, I cannot click on the "Post Message" or "Cancel" button, I have to close the whole page (close button button on the tab area of the browser).
I cannot even select text, so I loose all that I have written.
In the C++ forum it is working as expected.
Max.
Watched code never compiles.

Should be good now. I've just done a site update. It's always a little weird for a few minutes.

May or may not be related.... in the QA solutions, a great deal of whitespace is being generated for no apparent reason. Unfortunately, I am stuck in IE7 land for now if that makes any difference.

Unrelated, but I have a fix. Give me a couple of hours and I'll deploy.

... important edit ...
The proof of the pudding that you have unblocked a site, when you remove its IP from the Hosts file, is to re-boot, and try to launch the same link again: page loads: you know you have unblocked it.
Unfortunately, it appears that a successful load of a LakeQuincy.com page depends on a successful call by that site to ads.doubleclick.net, a notorious source of "tracking" adds.
As you may know, Google owns doubleclick.net, and I think it's quite "polite" that they, in Chrome, respect a Hosts file block of doubleclick: assuming, that is, they could over-ride it.
Here'e Wikipedia on DoubleClick:
"DoubleClick is often linked with the controversy over spyware because browser HTTP cookies are set to track users as they travel from website to website and record which commercial advertisements they view and select while browsing.[7]
DoubleClick has also been criticized for misleading users by offering an opt-out option that is insufficiently effective. According to a San Francisco IT consulting group, although the opt-out option affects cookies, DoubleClick does not allow users to opt out of IP address-based tracking.[8]
DoubleClick with MSN were shown serving malware via drive-by download exploits by a group of attackers for some time in December 2010.[9]"[^].
Since I will never unblock ads.doubleclick.net, that effectively means the solution I've just spelled out here will not work for me.
I'll leave the original post here for reference.
~
... edit 2 ...
If you want to get really spooked: consider that Win 8 is going to over-ride your Hosts file settings for (gasp) both FaceBook, and ads.doubleclick.net[^]. Evidently the answer here, for now, is to turn off Windows Defender.

original post:
note: I wanted to post this as Tip/Trick, but it's site-specific, and there's no Tip/Trick category such as: "Using CP Effectively"
CP's highly valued e-mail newsletters have sponsored sections with links to products, or services, etc. These are all routed through "lakequincy.com:" if "lakequincy.com" is blocked in your Hosts file: clicking these links will lead you to web-pages with obscure error messsages that sound ominous: like, in Win7, Chrome:
"Server Error in '/' Application. A potentially dangerous Request.Path value was detected from the client ... )."
I, like many others, use the MVPs' Hosts file[^] to block a lot of well known sources of ads, spam, etc. The August 18 version blocks somewhere around 16k IP addresses.
127.0.0.1 a.lakequincy.com
is blocked in that file's May 23rd. version, and in the new August 18 version.
So, if you are tired of seeing messages like the one above instead of web pages: and you want to see the ads: check to see if you need to remove that entry from your 'Hosts' file.
Whether CP, or LakeQuincy, wish to contact the authors of the MVPs Hosts file, and ask for removal of that block: up to them. Why that block is there is unknown to me.
If CP thinks what's described here is valuable information for a FAQ ... is there a FAQ section on e-mail newsletters from CP ? ... great; if not, great
Meanwhile, there are sponsored content ads in the CP newsletters that I want to read, and I'd like to support CP, by clicking-through on their links, so CP gets revenue.
I would be happy to pay CP US $20 per year to subscribe to CP's e-mailed newsletters.
best, Bill

Thanks Bill. I appreciate the sentiment.
You could certainly post a tip in the FAQ section[^]

Unfortunately, doubleclick.net is blocked at my (and I suspect other users') workplace, causing LQ content to not be served up.
