I was just trying to paste a link in a message and it didn't work like it used to (I blame that horrible abomination that is preview  ).
Anyway, I copied a URL to the clipboard, selected a word in my message ("documentation"), and used Ctrl-V to paste. In the past, this worked, putting the link around the selected text. But this time, it didn't. I tried several times. At first it simply pasted the link at the bottom of the message, then it replaced the selected text with the link -- so after several attempts I replaced the text back inside the link.
I very strongly urge you to remove the preview thingy; most of the time it isn't even viewable anyway. It's just plain pointless and troublesome to boot.
Many sites have a "preview" button, and I never click it.

This is a known bug, it was raised earlier this week.

Is this now working more predictably for you?

First the good news...
Things seem less jumpy in general, including on fairly long posts, and when editing within the post (as opposed to at the end).  Only time (and making actual responses) will tell.
I also just tried pasting some text in place of some selected text and it worked. (But I think Ctrl-Z to undo may be broken again. Win7, IE8)
However, it still only pasted a link at the bottom, rather than around the selected text. Which I guess is more predictable.
If I type "See this article for more information.", select the "this", then use Ctrl-V to paste (having previously used Ctrl-C to copy the URL), the "this" used to become a link to the article. That is no longer working, but of course I can edit it for the same effect.

IE8 is still behaving badly on the paste stuff, but I think I've narroed down it's issue (sorry, one of its issues). Unfortunately I'm travelling for the next week so it's going to be difficult to get a chance to dig in properly.

Works fine here... Weven and IE9.

On a real tablet (as opposed to the pocket sized placebo) the voting stuff is located where it should, and all is fine, provided one is logged in of course. Using Mobile Safari...

Which page? Which browser?
Just to throw it out there: have you Ctrl+F5'd to ensure you're not caching an old copy of the CSS?

FYI.
At first I thought it was a problem with FF 7 beta that I just upgraded to yesterday. However, going to the newsletter page today at Insider 24 Aug 11[^] which I rarely do, I saw that the login information on the top right (same line as member and online count), along with the drop-down menu, had a condensed font which makes some of the text hard to read. This Bug/Suggestion forum page and the main page (and others) look fine so there is something different with this page. I tested in Chrome and IE7 and had the same problem so it is not Firefox specific. The actual news and ad portions and green menu of that page are fine, as is the member/online count section of that same line. I also checked another daily newsletter (mlid=9224) and that had the same problem. I am guessing it should be a minor/quick fix (CSS?)
Thanks!

On my tip/trick list, I see that some were deleted and can be restored. Problem is, under the deleted ones, I see "Deleted at" followed by the "restore" button. Seems like there should be a date or something after "Deleted at" (if it were a time, I'd expect "Deleted at", but for a date I'd expect "Deleted on"). Also, the "restore" button is in all lowercase... I would typically expect a button to start with an uppercase letter.

I won't know that until this Saturday when I go back through the last few weeks of posts.

Bookmarking myself didn't give me any points (as I would expect) however when I then went to remove myself from my bookmarks (under members) I did lose 2 points.
I want my 2 points back damned !!!!!
Neg, don't really care either way but thought you might want to know
Don't ask me how I found this one (I'm bored )

Fixed! (The bug, not your points. Points will be restored next run of the Repopulator.)
