You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

H Dave,
Thanks for the Link, I downloaded that Offline Editor and have a look at it

If it's any consolation, I still spend more time swearing at the article editor (and repairing the damage it did) than I do writing the articles!
I tend to switch it to HTML mode and use it as a "glorified notepad with a preview button" as it annoys me a lot less that way...

Haha,
I just moved recently to Amsterdam (an apartment block) and this afternoon when I was working with the Editor I was saying words my new neighbours perhaps wouldn't appreciate and possibly could hear ,when I realised that I made myself a cup of coffee and calmed down When the anger again came up I wrote this post
With friendly greetings,

Fortunately, the walls here are 60cm thick and made of granite, so very little gets through them - and certainly no sound!

Hey, you never mentioned that you live in a castle (or does everybody in Wales do ?)

It's not a castle, it's a cottage! But it's a couple hundred years old, and it's built of local materials: "riverstone", which is basically granite that has been dragged down from the mountains by the river and bashed so many times it's probably harder than diamond...
Because it's hard, you don't cut or split it unless you really, really have to - so the walls have to be thick to support themselves. Worse, they use a lime mortar which you can't cover with a modern plaster because it needs to breathe.
It means they are cool in summer, and once heated - which takes a lot - warm in winter. And they will probably still be here in another couple of hundred years, which modern building methods don't encourage...
The downsides are the line mortar, complete absence of right angles or straight lines, and that just putting up a shelf needs industrial strength drilling equipment and a lot of luck! When the neighbours had an extension, the builder wore out two water-cooled diamond cutting discs before giving up on cutting a door hole and demolished a chunk of wall instead...

You either love 'em or you hate 'em. If you love 'em, you get used to the drawbacks - Cat 5 cabling was a nightmare - and just enjoy the solid, comfortable "feel" of the place.
If you enjoy living in a square box that is identical to all your neighbours then you'd hate it!

Any old house will have walls of that thickness. Either they'll be cavity walls, in which case they will be about 3' thick (two parts of the wall of about 1' and a 1' rubble fill cavity down the middle), or they'll be built to that thickness to provide some insulation.
My current (recently purchased but the word 'new' would be confusing in this context) house has only about 1' or 18" for some of its walls and as a result it doesn't have great insulation.

I quickly gave up on the editor and started writing in VS instead.
Just remember to exchange all < and > inside pre tags to < and < before you paste it into the editor.

Trust me, the new one is a lot better and don't messses up formattings.
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

Hi,
I'm going to give that a try tomorrow then but I hope they fixed the upload also since the code (VS project) was to big for the old one.

Drop me an email if you need help, I worked a fair bit with the new one already.

That's good to know.
I tried publishing a tip a while ago. I wrote the HTML offline and pasted it into the editor's HTML view. I noticed that if I switch to the WYSIWYG view, the code segments are all messed up. So I made sure to stick to the HTML view only, and used the preview functionality to ensure that it displayed correctly. Unfortunately, once the tip went through moderation, the formatting was messed up again.
What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

Hey guys,
I am putting together a list of popular frameworks (regardless of type, front end, JavaScript, etc.) and I need some help. Please someone save me!!!

For what purpose? This sounds rather like a homework question to be honest.

Haha I don't look at icons so I didn't notice that. It's a hilariously dumb question though, and you'd think CP staff would know enough about technology to know that that is the case.
