I was browsing the lower ranked articles to see if they deserved it and came accross this one[^]. All the messages at the bottom are Bold, is there a closing tag missing somewhere?
(Viewing using IE7 / XP SP3)

|
|
Here's the offending code at the end of the author's article
<h2>
<h4 />
</h2>
Perfect XHTML, but no good as HTML since he has effectively left a H4 tag open.

I should have looked at the source so I could have been more specific - never thought!
By the way, did the servers recently have a major hiccup? I was getting Server Error pages about half an hour ago for a few minutes (I'm in the UK).
Edit: Ah, just seen your post in the thread below!

Yep - see below. One of the servers had a hard night of it and didn't make it.
The thing I'm kicking myself about is we have automatic monitoring and I turned that off on that server a week or so ago when I pulled it from the cluster after it started misbehaving. I forgot to reinstate monitoring when I gave it a second chance

I've been seeing lots of crashes tonight. Has Bob been partaking the amber nectar tonight?

I think it's Chris that's been hitting the 's hard. In a rush to update the new navigation controls in response to user feedback he's apparently skipped the normal QA process and is deploying untested changes to the live site directly from VS. Tossing the empties at the hamster cages isn't helping either. There's only a few drops left in each, but it doesn't take much to get something smaller than the palm of your hand trashed.
Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots.

One of the servers had been taken out of the cluster weeks ago. Last week I did some testing and it seemed to be perfectly fine so I through it back in the cluster. Turns out it's no good and, because of load balancing, you were getting sent to it perioically and it (the misbehaving server) is dead as a proverbial.
It's been removed.

Just an opinion. The White Background Color is looking a bit odd to me. specially when the ad has white background, at that time it looks like something is missing. I would suggest to change it to orange or some other color.

We had it orange, light orange, green, and bright purple but found that the white looked neater, cleaner and less cramped than if we coloured it.

OK. I think, it might take some time to adjust with the new layout.

Love the new look Chris. However, when I first load it up in FF3, the Message Boards menu now opens up well below the screen bottom (1024x768). I only have one extra toolbar than default, and removing it still doesn't show the bottom part of the menu.

Try a Ctrl+F5. That should force a reload of the offending script. (Kudos to Shog for the fix)

Just to let you know the maps on the Job Board are messed up in Chrome, Firefox 3 and IE7. IE also has a horizontal scroll bar.

Problem: opening a child post will be displayed off the top of the window if the parent post is not entirely visible.
Steps: - Open up this post: http://www.codeproject.com/Lounge.aspx?msg=2895800#xx2895800xx[^]
- Scroll browser window so that the start of Joan's post is above the top of the window.
- Click on the first child post (by Perspx). His post is displayed above the top of the window.
Details: FF2 and IE6, Layout=Normal
Ctrl-F5 hit: Yes

CP is no longer rendering in Quirks Mode. Therefore, the function EnsureMessageVisible() in ShortCuts.js must be updated to work with the documentElement (rather than body ) as the scroll container:
function EnsureMessageVisible(msgID, bShowTop)
{
var msgHeader = document.getElementById("F" + msgID + "_h0");
var msgBody = document.getElementById("F" + msgID + "_h1");
if (!msgBody||!msgHeader)return;
var scrollContainer = document.documentElement;
var top = getRealPos(msgHeader, 'Top');
var bottom = getRealPos(msgBody, 'Top') + msgBody.offsetHeight;
if ( scrollContainer.scrollTop > top && !bShowTop)
scrollContainer.scrollTop = top - scrollContainer.clientHeight/10;
if ( scrollContainer.scrollTop+scrollContainer.clientHeight < bottom)
scrollContainer.scrollTop = bottom-scrollContainer.clientHeight;
if ( scrollContainer.scrollTop > top && bShowTop)
scrollContainer.scrollTop = top - scrollContainer.clientHeight/10;
} (changes in bold - yes, there appears to be something of a regression WRT the message ID)

All fixed.
Shog: add another beer to the tally. Or even a good red if you prefer.

The new menu is thanks enough. Seriously.
---- You're right.
These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets .

The article rating bar at the top of the article's page is being truncated at the article's rating instead of going all the way to 5. The net effect is that the entire bar is red with no white area.

Ad overlaps 'Articles' and 'Message Boards' menus (screenshot[^] - FF3).
