Everyone is waffling on about some sort of pin thingy.
Who do I have to suck up to to get some?
I am running XP SP3, and after realizing that I was being stigmatized (did you see what I did there? Pins, Stigmata. Oh well please yourselves!) I upgraded my FireFox to 3.0.10 from 3.0.05/6?, but no joy.
Halfway through typing this I had the brainwave of trying IE7. They work OK in that.
Strange! It's probably my fault, everything else is. I'm just going to go into the corner and chew on some grass.

Been there, done that, got the T-Shirt.
I've also re-booted but I have noticed, over the years, that the type of footwear makes little, if any, difference. 
It's getting late here now, so I've put my slippers back on. I'm also wearing a rather fetching Smoking-Jacket and Nightcap ensemble.

Wandering around in slippers, T-shirt, jacket and nigthcap?
that must be special grass you are chewing. No wonder you can't see no pins.

Just noticed this. Do you want me to turn off this feature for you?

Not really. I'm satisfied the way it is. When the average quality goes up again - let's hope that ever happens - I'll be willing to see and comment them again.
You could make life easier though by:
- either providing selectable sigs (so I can dedicate some of them to major shortcomings or most applicable advice)
- or providing a more detailed voting mechanism for A-N-A (content, format, style, clarity) instead of the mandatory message, which gets thrown out eventually anyway.

They work on IE7 but not Firefox? That's incredibly odd since the pins are generated server side, not client side, so settings such as javascript or caching won't come into play.
Is it all forums? Can you do a sanity check and confirm Firefox will actually display the pin icon properly? It's at http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/pin.gif[^]

Pins worked well on my FF. Great feature.

I know! Stop rubbing it in!
It works for everyone except me. I am pinless, devoid of pointed paper-fixers. Alas I am unpinned.
I must have done something very, very bad in a previous life.

Yes I can see that.
I have also rechecked on this forum and the lounge and the pin is conspicuous by it's absence.
For example on your message, there is no space between the end of the message title and the New widget, I have moved the mouse slowly across the whole width of the title bar and it remains as the standard arrow pointer. I assume it should change when over the pin.
Just in case it is an add-in, I have:
Addblock Plus 1.0.2,
Ask Toolbar 2.1.0.5,
British English Dictionary 1.19,
Colorful Tabs 3.19,
Download Accelerator Plus Integration 8.6.7.0,
FoxLingo 2.4,
GMail Notifier 0.6.3.11,
GreaseMonkey 0.8.20090123.1,
IE Tab 1.5.20090207,
Java Quick Starter 1.0,
NoScript 1.9.2.6,
qtl 13.7,
ScrapBook 1.3.3.9,
Secure Login 0.9.3,
Tab Mix Plus 0.3.7.3,
Targeted Advertising Cookie Opt-Out (TACO) 1.6
Strange ain't it?

That a lot of add-ins.
The pin has no javascript associated with it. Have you tried disabling your add-ins? All I can assume is that one of them is being over zealous at...something.

Even with all add-ons disabled, no pins!
I Used the PageInfo | Media option (on this page) in FF and Pins.gif was not listed. Does that give any clue?

Not to worry.
It'll probably start working one day and no one will ever know why.

Sorry, forgot in the last post. If I use the IETabs feature to switch rendering, I get the pins.

I seem to recall that undo was available when writing messages, but it isn't now?
|
|
|
|

In FireFox (Ctrl-Z) is getting nuked as part of the Paste work-around code we have to put in because of Mozilla's curious clipboard support. I'll add this as a bug. Edit -> Undo still works (but yes, not very convenient)

When browsing a forum we can keep more than one message open using the new pin thingy. Nice.
It would be very useful to have something similar when replying; all too often the OP posts some code in one message, some more in the next, etc, making it difficult to answer properly since the reply editor page only shows the message replied to. Viewing the message replied to and all other messages in that thread from the same author would be great.
TIA

I think what you're after is inline reply, similar to what CPHog offers. That would solve those issues perfectly.

We're experiencing a database issue after an update that we're trying to track down. It's causing random message posts to fail. You briefly won't be able to edit/delete your own posts.
We're on it, but I just wanted you to know it's not you, it's us.
All fixed.
I should be having ![Beer | [beer]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif) , not fighting production-only weird replication ghosts.
