You nailed it. I set fasterfox back to default firefox settings and now the problem is gone. Which is really weird... So it was the max connections I guess...

I work to live. I do not live to work. My clients do not seem capable of grasping this fact.

You know, Rex, you seem to have more issues with CPhog than anybody else. 
We are certainly uncertain
at least I'm pretty sure I am...

Well not really. Who can truly complain? There's IE 7 ( just now arrived at where FF was in 2002 ) and there's FireFox beloved by the masses and soon to be christened as St. Firefox. Well... Guess I'll get on with it now.
One of my gripes is that when you post a new message or reply you get just enough feedback to know that if there aren't little "..."'s appearing somewhere your message isn't posting and probably won't. If you do see the little "..."'s appear odds are good it will post most times (998 out of 1000).
I think it would be useful if there was a bit more information (if possible). Like, "Establishing Connection..." -> "Connection Established..." -> "Sending Message..." -> "Message Received..." -> "Message Posted..." -> "Process Completed..."
Obviously I'm just guessing about most of that you may not have any way to get that granular on the process but if there was a way to know that things were happening and not just hanging that would be *so* nice.
Am I making sense or is the Advil I took having an adverse reaction with the Pumpkin Pie I just ate?

Me too. As you surmised, the "little dots" indicate something good - that CP has received the request. However, there's still a good chance (well, this past week anyway) that CP will choke and throw back a server error instead of actually posting the message. 'Till i get a response from the server, there's just no way of knowing.
However, i could automatically retry upon server errors...

I figured the dots were all you could really do because being the type of developer you are you seem to promote valuable feedback if you can from within CPhog when you can.
The connections to CP over the last week have sucked. You don't have to retry. I've noticed that sometimes if I retry to quickly it doesn't matter. Usually If I let it sit and come back in a minute or so it will post straight away. As I recall Chris confessed to have some type of round robin approach to which servers you got. Apparently everyone gets the garbage and if you just wait your next cycle will put you on a better server.
How about you just have CPhog play that super obnoxious sound-byte of that one soccer announcer screaming, "GOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!" if a message posts. (I hate that sound byte more than any other sound byte in the world and if you've never heard it... Don't go looking for it. It's not worth the effort. Being a soccer player I always hated that guy.)

JQuery's ajax stuff also has the ability to set timeouts...so we could retry after a set timeout...or something.

Speaking of which, i should probably stop treating "already posted" messages as errors.

Behold, the Incredible Wide Editor.
Other changes thrown in just for the heck of it: username / email are now pulled from the user settings page (rather than an arbitrary "reply" page). Default sig is pulled from there as well (if no sigs have been configured). And the birthday and homepage link now appear in the quickbio.

What do y'all think? Personally, i never use it - WYSIWYG will accept and escape "special" characters (<&> etc.), while HTML allows full markup-hacky-funtimes. Removing the option would simplify the code a bit, as well as reducing the format choice to a simple toggle, freeing up more screen space for... other things.
Anyone feel differently? Any use for Plain Text i'm forgetting about?

Can we replace it with something that will help me sleep better?

I could add a "paste items from Shog's worklog" button. That oughta bring The Sandman a-runnin'...

Actually I think it's my own worklog that sent him fleeing.
I think I just need about 2 hours grilling some food over the barbecue to get things right again. Those black and blue burgers are calling my name. I think I'll have to eat about 4 of them and then I know I'll sleep better.

Mmm... You could stop over and have some spaghetti with us. Rich, thick tangy-garlic-y sauce atop a big pile of starchy pasta; Relaxation-ona-plate.

What gave it away? My initial push to get Midas into CPhog, the constant questioning of why that option still exists, or the fact that I subconsciously crippled it by ripping out code that preserved formatting when switching to the plain text option?

Ah, did you notice i put that back? Is it still broken on your bleeding-edge nightlies? I actually don't care about the Plain Text aspect so much as the "no linebreaks in quotes" aspect.

Heh. I haven't updated my working copy in a while. It's a mess of half-broken features I just haven't had time to work on now that we're nearing the end of the quarter.

Can I change the fonts that firefox uses to the same fonts that IE uses? The firefox fonts seem weak and trapsy. I like a nice thick full-bodied font to go with my browser.![Jig | [Dance]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/jig.gif) ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif)

Is this a CPhog question? 
You realize that you've bumped the "David, you rock" thread out of the forum watch box now. I have less incentive to check this forum now that it's gone.

|
|
|
I have no idea if it is or not. I figured if it was possible you would know...
