They are visible to you because you have the ability to delete (and hence undelete) messages. I think what might make more sense is to allow you to completely and totally nuke your own entry once you've deleted it (so a two-step thing, just for safety)

Thanks, Chris, that confirms what I thought was your intention.
Maybe it's best that way : it's like how "real life" doesn't quite let you erase your mistakes, only (maybe, hopefully) atone for them
best, Bill
"Many : not conversant with mathematical studies, imagine that because it [the Analytical Engine] is to give results in numerical notation, its processes must consequently be arithmetical, numerical, rather than algebraical and analytical. This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly."

I have just been trying to post an answer under quick answers and everytime I click on "Update Answer" the "Ignore HTML in text (good for code snippets)" check box gets set.
I clear the check box, preview everything then update the answer, tags show, go to edit the answer and the damn "Ignore HTML in text (good for code snippets)" check box is again checked.
|
|
|
|
|
at one time, the user was in control of those checkboxes when creating a new message, but not when re-entering the message editor page for editing the message (they would then default to how they were when the original editor page was exited). And the default state is also available on your settings page, under the forums tag.
Hope that helps.

unfortunately/strangely it has only happened for one message so far. I wrote the message, previewed it, all looked right, then posted it and all the tags are showing, so I checked all my settings and they were fine.
It would also appear that I'm not the only person this has happened to.[^]

Well, I think I had that happen to me too, once, when editing an article in the Article Submission Wizard. But then it is hard to repeat or to proof, so ...
BTW: CP has new technology in beta that probably will render that checkbox totally obsolete. They call it "CodeSniff".

Just file it under;
It's very rare, It happens, It's more of an annoyance than a real "problem".

Not quite. The code sniffing code you so generously provided does wonders for pasting code but there remains the issue of what to do with text that contains < characters. If someone types in code, or pastes code inline instead of as a PRE block, then we still need to offer the option of treating the < character as a literal < and not as a tag marker.
What the code sniff technology will remove is the "Encode HTML tags when pasting" checkbox, instead replacing it with 4 options (yes, not the 3 you initially expected )
Should be live in the afternoon.

Maybe you should have put up a warning, as the behavior has changed; if I were to type PRE tags, then paste in the middle of them (that's what I use to do most of the time), I would no longer get what I expect...
Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [Why QA sucks] [My Articles]
I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that. [The QA section does it automatically now, when do we get it on regular forums?]

I briefly see 'Accept Answer' change to 'Reject Answer' then I get a page that just says:
An error occurred while attempting to accept this answer. Please try again later.
The answer is accepted though when I go back to the original page.

Don't blame Vista. Not this time.
We're doing a code refresh in a few hours. I'll recheck after that.

Along with Unanswered, Latest, Top Rated, Most Viewed, etc, add a tab for "Asked/Answered By", or add another filter to the Custom tab that allows us to filter by a particular user (with ourselves as the default for both filters).

That already exists. Check out mine and yours by going to the respective profile and clicking "Questions & Answers".

But it would be a little more convenient if we could do it directly from the quick answers page instead of having to click back to our profile page.

Go to the Quick Answers page and click "My Posts" and you will see a tab for your questions and answers. And I think the articles search allows you to search questions and answers... the advanced version can filter by member.

Ahhh, I didn't see that before.

Hi ya
I'm trying to update the following article:
CGridListCtrlEx - Grid Control Based on CListCtrl[^]
And I have sent several mails from different mail-accounts with the updated source, but they are all ignored (Subject - Update article CGridListCtrlEx (ver. 1.7)).
Is the policy changed for how one updates articles ?
Kind regards
-Rolf

Hi Rolf,
Sean always replies very quickly to updates. It may be that our spam filter has caught you, so I'll ask him to dig in and see if he can find the update.
Apologies for that!

Seems that every time I sent a mail to Sean, then it goes directly into his Deleted-folder.
Seems your spam filter doesn't like me.
|
|
|
|
|
Any updates on whether the spam filter is fixed ?
|
|
|
|
|
We're running some tests now, we'll try and get this resolved ASAP
Thanks,

It seems you have fixed the problems in the SPAM filter.
I have now received confirmation that the update was received.
Thank you for the quick response

I hope these suggestions not exists already. In profile page, we are displaying Questions & Answers in left side. Now right side you can display actual details like below
Questions & Answers - 15 / 17
Same as Tip/Tricks posted. Also you can display the actual count here like below
Tip/Tricks posted - 1
Already you displaying the count details for Messages Posted, Articles Posted
But i don't know if you have any reasons for not displaying those details. If you display the details then coders can view the total summary details of their inspirations.
Thanking you
Regards
