Re: sig full Chris Meech16-Jun-10 4:47 Chris Meech 16-Jun-10 4:47  Wanna' rent some of my unused sig? Maybe even for some rep points. Chris Meech I am Canadian. [heard in a local bar] In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is. [Yogi Berra] Re: sig full Luc Pattyn16-Jun-10 4:55 Luc Pattyn 16-Jun-10 4:55  Thanks for your kind offer. I'll wait for some more before I make a decision. Don't call us, we'll call you.

Re: sig full Chris Maunder16-Jun-10 5:17 Chris Maunder 16-Jun-10 5:17  No Luc, you need to be more creative than that. 1. Using classes you can make your sig be essentially the same with 60 less characters 2. Using relative links you can make your sig be exactly the same with 50 less characters, though the links won't work in forum email notifications (however, a simple fix my end will fix this). 3. Doing both gives you an extra 110 characters. 4. I can see a fairly obvious further 100 characters that can go since I already have that particular link bookmarked. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: sig almost full Luc Pattyn16-Jun-10 5:55 Luc Pattyn 16-Jun-10 5:55  Thanks. 1 is a mystery to me. Are you referring to pre-defined classes? is there a way to have a macro-like functionality, so all hyperlinks get a more compact code? 2 I did. Is OK. 3 = 1+2 4: others may click too.

Re: sig almost full Chris Maunder16-Jun-10 6:20 Chris Maunder 16-Jun-10 6:20  You can use class="callout align-center" instead of the inline style you're using. As to compact links, there are plenty of tinyurl provider sites out there that may help. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: sig almost full Luc Pattyn16-Jun-10 6:44 Luc Pattyn 16-Jun-10 6:44  OK, got over 100 chars free now. Are callout and align-center your classes? (they are not present in my books!) are they documented somewhere? guaranteed to survive site changes? OK for relevant browsers? what happens to existing messages when you change those classes?

They are ours. are they documented somewhere? No. That would make things too easy. guaranteed to survive site changes? Highly likely to, but definitely not guaranteed. Very few things in life are guaranteed. Sometimes you just have to let go and take a risk. OK for relevant browsers? Yes what happens to existing messages when you change those classes? The end of life as we know it. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: sig almost full Luc Pattyn16-Jun-10 7:24 Luc Pattyn 16-Jun-10 7:24  Thank you very much. I've located their definition now. I am using callout with reduced margin (I don't like wasting space). I think I'm done sig-wise for the moment. I'm not going to use tinyURL and the like; I understood they are temporary. And they do create extra dependencies.

Re: sig almost full Luc Pattyn4-Oct-10 5:48 Luc Pattyn 4-Oct-10 5:48  It took me a while, but now I realize the big disadvantage of div class="callout" is it doesn't work in the notification e-mails CP sends. Unless you would automatically add the corresponding style definition...

Re: sig almost full Chris Maunder4-Oct-10 6:41 Chris Maunder 4-Oct-10 6:41  Not sure I can justify having the callout style in everyone's inbox cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: sig almost full Luc Pattyn4-Oct-10 6:45 Luc Pattyn 4-Oct-10 6:45  Sure. However IMO you could substitute the appropriate style="..." for the existing class="callout..."

Re: sig almost full Chris Maunder4-Oct-10 6:47 Chris Maunder 4-Oct-10 6:47  Yes you could.

Unable to Comment Kschuler16-Jun-10 3:02 Kschuler 16-Jun-10 3:02  I see in your list of recent changes that you fixed a problem with comments, and that you are currently working on improving the comment system...but I haven't been able to post a comment for at least a week now so I thought I'd mention it in case it's something no one else has let you know about. I press Add Comment and the box comes up. I type in a comment then press submit comment and the box closes but the comment doesn't appear below the question like it used to. If I hit Add Comment again my message is still in the textbox. I'm using IE8. Java is on. Thanks. Re: Unable to Comment Chris Maunder16-Jun-10 3:03 Chris Maunder 16-Jun-10 3:03  One common issue we've seen is an old cached version of the script. Can you try Ctrl+F5 on the page you wish to comment, then try commenting again? Our usual cache busting doesn't seem to have worked cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: Unable to Comment Kschuler16-Jun-10 3:06 Kschuler 16-Jun-10 3:06  That did it. Thanks! How Do I Delete An Article #realJSOP16-Jun-10 2:47 #realJSOP 16-Jun-10 2:47  I looked, but can't find a way. I want to delete this article (it was my "tough questions" experiment that didn't work as planned).

You currently have it locked for editing so I can't help you at the moment. Lemme know if you want me to nuke it for you. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: How Do I Delete An Article #realJSOP16-Jun-10 11:36 #realJSOP 16-Jun-10 11:36  Chris Maunder wrote: Lemme know if you want me to nuke it for you.

It does so for my non-public article-to-be.

Will have the fix uploaded today. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Signature Problems [modified] #realJSOP16-Jun-10 2:19 #realJSOP 16-Jun-10 2:19  I posted a message in the lounge, and my signature's HTML was escaped. No, I didn't check/uncheck any boxes or anything. This message shows the problem, as well. Okay, I think I fingered it out. It seems that the "Use HTML in this post" checkbox affects the sig block as well. I see this as a bug, since the sig should logically be insulated from what you put in the message. -- Modified Wednesday, June 16, 2010 8:25 AM Re: Signature Problems [modified] Luc Pattyn16-Jun-10 3:51 Luc Pattyn 16-Jun-10 3:51  I second that; "Use HTML in this post" affects all.
