Is it so! Nice catch... i just tried and found the same thing... if we have even one double quote in our comment it does not post! 
It happened with me too earlier but I just ignored it... thought might be some network issue as reported by others.

Nice detective work! I'll add this to the bug notes.

Thanks!
I have learnt that you can not make someone love you, all you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in.

Griff, there must be something else.
I've just tried posting a comment twice, and it hasn't registered.
I didn't post exactly the same comment, but in neither case it contained a double quote.
It did contain a single quote, and in the second try I tried removing that too. But no dice...
It also contained a ; and a smiley 
But I don't know if that was the cause of the problem???

We updated the code about 30 mins ago. Looks like it's still not nipped in the bud.

The 'Graphics' forum is having problems - almost all of the messages have disappeared. There is less than one page of posts remaining, and many of those are responses; the original questions have vanished.

Try setting Date filter to "All" and hit update

Very good - have a cookie.
Yeah, that was it - I'd tweaked the date range a couple days ago searching for something and had forgotten to change it back.
Thanks...

so where is "gone south" applicable? which places on earth know what you mean by it, and which don't? It doesn't have any significance on the south pole; does it in South-America? in Australia? What, if any, would be the line south of which the expression isn't reflecting what you meant?

Anywhere that speaks idiomatic American English.

well, I'm sure the tribes living south of us might understand but won't appreciate your idiom.

Reminds me of a problem description added to our database by one of our customer service reps which stated "Customer just phoned to say his server has crashed and burned.". Strangely, my reply of "Tell customer to call the fire service" was not appreciated.
It's time for a new signature.

You're thinking way, way too much about this, Luc.

is that American English idiom for "I don't know beans about it"?

If I had to guess, I'd say the expression probably dates from the time of the Civil War. Basically, it's used to denote something unreliable, with a tendency to fail (or betray) when needed. Of course, if my take on the historical semantics is correct, it probably originated in the North.

I understand that; we still have a bit of a North-South divide here (yes I'm North), that's why a "go South" expression never passes unnoticed...
BTW: it also made me find an AE idiom web site, of which I'll read one page a day. Today's find involved some beans.

Hi,
I spotted a minor (very minor) issue with your syntax highlighting for <pre> blocks:
var variable1=new string();
var variable2 = new string();
Notice that the first 'new' keyword is not the right colour, presumably because there is no space before the keyword.
As I said, a very fussy thing to point out, and definitly not very important...

similar things happen with single quotes and double quotes. I suspect a Regex is used which ignores newlines.

If we were ignoring newlines they wouldn't work at all. eg multiline comments.
We'll check.

I apologize, almost nothing wrong with syntax coloring and quotes any more; I remember it being much worse. Right now the one mistake I see is VB should not escape within string literals.
Here is a test without any lang="..":
this is a "string"
for a 'string' in some languages
this could be a "for now an ' embedded single quote in a string" and for more text
this could be a "for now an ' embedded single quote in a string" and for more text
for a "for now an ' embedded single quote in a string" and
this could be a "for now an ' embedded single quote in a string" here
this could be a "for now an ' embedded single quote in a string" going well
this could be a "string with an escaped double quote \" inside"
and now re repeat all the above once more:
this is a "string"
for a 'string' in some languages
this could be a "for now an ' embedded single quote in a string" and for more text
this could be a "for now an ' embedded single quote in a string" and for more text
for a "for now an ' embedded single quote in a string" and
this could be a "for now an ' embedded single quote in a string" here
this could be a "for now an ' embedded single quote in a string" going well
this could be a "string with an escaped double quote \" inside"
Here is a test using lang="cs":
this is a "string"
for a 'string' in some languages
this could be a "for now an ' embedded single quote in a string" and for more text
this could be a "for now an ' embedded single quote in a string" and for more text
for a "for now an ' embedded single quote in a string" and

this could be a "string with an escaped double quote \" inside" <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Is all of this handled by Regex? I would be anxious to see them and learn from it.

It's no biggy. Zero priority would be fine by me.
I'd rather see you fix the HTMLtag+newline issue in the message editor (newline getting eaten).
