What you'd probably end up with is a bunch of people setting -Everything
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
--Zachris Topelius
Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.

I changed my Logon Email under my Settings yesterday. Now I have a little red 1 up by my user name (notifications) and when I hover it says I need to confirm my email address. There isn't a place in settings to confirm my email address and I haven't received an email at either my old or new address to confirm it. I checked junk folders and spam filters and there isn't anything in there either. I can't vote any more because it says I have to confirm my email address. I'm sure there are other things I can't do as well, but I haven't tried much. Please tell me how to fix this.

The reply box I used to see, perhaps last week and for years, spanned most of the browser window and provided text formatting buttons.
The reply box I am seeing to today, right now as I type this response:
1. The input box only spans about half the browser.
2. Doesn't have have the formatting buttons
3. Has an absolutely useless 'help' link to the right of the response button with a single line which links to a page about emoticons. As if there were not already millions of sites already that provide help about that.

Highly bizarre - I'm seeing the correct Reply box here - the one you are used to seeing. What browser, version, OS are you using and what box is being shown (look at the bottom left, below the Advertise | Privacy | Mobile links - I see Web03).

Can you email me (chris at codeproject) the results of this page[^].

I think I'm seeing a very similar problem in Firefox 42 / Windows 10 - the emoticon list has been replaced with a single unclickable emoticon, and a non-wrapping "Click here to view the range of emoticons available" message.

That's better!
I was just about to change my user agent - replacing the final "42.0" with "41.0" looked like it would do the trick.

The issue was our useragent detection was out of date and not flexible enough. We have backup parsing that generates a "it's probably X" and stores a placeholder record until we can update it, but a secondary problem was that once the new data was in place the old placeholder record for FireFox42 was not being purged from the cache.
Kicked, yelled at, restarted. All good.

Still doing it right at the moment. Unlike the other respondent the emoticon does have a clickable link.

At this point in time the problem no longer exists.

Maths in IT #1: Basic set theory[^] was pulled from my blog, I had some trouble[^] with the formatting, but I got it fixed.
Just now I got another message that that same post was pulled from my blog (again with all the images missing), but that post disappeared.
And now my initial blog post is an actual article.
I'm not sure if it turned into an article before or after my blog was consumed for the second time...
I'd rather have it categorized as blog post as it's rather short for an article!

Fixed.

Sorry - that was me debugging. I thought I'd added a second copy and must have removed the wrong one.
Sean to the rescue!

That stressed me out! I was afraid I had to edit all those LaTeX formula's again!
Thanks for fixing it though

It's interesting I had a similar problem with images in an imported blog post and now that post in under articles as well.

I think I just switched it back to a blog entry? All good now?

Thanks, it's a blog post again.
It's kinda embarrassing to admit but until I learned this was due to a bug just now, I thought it was an article because of a promotion or upgrade

Are you guys aware that the My Articles page doesn't show article ratings, popularity or number of votes?
