Turning off Javascript will mean the site doesn't render the same as with Javascript since we use jQuery UI to generate the tabs. In this particular instance, though, AdBlocker is stripping out some javascript, but not all, causing unexpected* javascript errors which then cause the remaining javascript (the stuff to render the tabs) to then fail.
*As opposed to the expected errors.

No that's not entirely true, you see the layout problems with NoScript alone.
The potential adblocker/noscript does not remove partial JavaScript, the problem is a single 3rd party external script, which if not loaded will cause the frontpage layout to fail. Surfing the rest of the site seems to work fine, I use FF with NoScript and had no problems with posting and voting.
Makes me wonder why does an advertiser network have to provide executable code to thousands of users?

I don't think you understood fully what I was saying.
If there is no javascript then the layout is different. If javascipt is present but AdBlock removes our ad serving javascript file then our javascript throws an error (function not found) and this then causes the rest of the javascript to fail, meaning the rest of the page renders as if javascript is not enabled.
I've fixed this and will have an update soon.
LakeQuincy Media is CodeProject's ad serving service. The script we place on the page via LakeQuincy does all the work of (a) telling the server where the ad should be shown (and what type of ad), and (b) actually showing the ad that is returned. We've done some optimisation with that javascript so that, when viewing the page, round trips to the ad server are minimised, speeding up the entire page.

I think Jeff Sutherland is right when he says one of the biggest problems of organisations is to remove impediments, even with help.
Good luck!

So this was fixed not because adblock was causing a problem with layout but because if lakequincy fell over it would cause problems with layout for everyone?

It was fixed because it was a bug in our code, regardless of what surfaced the bug.

I used to receive the developer daily news. I really miss it.
They have tightened some controls on our email firewall and now I no longer receive them.
I tried switching my subscription to text, but that did not help.
Is there a page that will show the last few days worth of the developer daily news?
The embedded link in my last email allows me to guess at the current mailings, but this is kind of tedious.

This is not a bug or anything but I just noticed this curiosity. In the list[^] of recent messages on a users profile, most forums are followed by (forum) whereas The Lounge is followed by (page).
Just wondered why?
The Whiteboard - Surely the most remarkable invention ever?

The links to most of the forums are under http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums. Whereas The Lounge is and has a place all of it's own http://www.codeproject.com/Lounge.aspx. Just my guess, though. Bob will have the more definitive response.

Bob intended the site to be a programmer's resource. When he ordered a Launch page all he really wanted was just a portal to all the forums, however he got misunderstood and got yet another forum (Da Lounge) that wasn't about programming at all, and didn't fit on a single page either.

Just seeing the current thread in the lounge reminded me of an annoying bug that bit me during my last article submission.
In step 1) you enter some basic details and choose a Name for the Article.
Proceeded to step 2) at which point I decided I didn't like the title (or had made a mistake) and clicked the back button on the form.
I corrected whatever I wanted to change in Step 1) and then proceeded to Step 2) only to be told that the Name is already in use now, I should hope so, I already selected it at the beginning!
The process should know that the name has already been verified as available the first time you move to step 2, and not check again if you didn't change it.

When I go to this link (a permalink for a message I posted), I am shown the first page of the forum, though my message currently resides on the second page of the forum. I've seen this behavior a few times before.
Actually, I just tried clicking that link again and this time it is opening fine. Perhaps this depends on the message making its way to another server or if its the very first message on a page (maybe the calculation performed to check which page it's on is slightly off).

I think that is because this message was just posted and bumped my message down so it is now the second message on the second page rather than the first message on the second page.

I accidentally bookmarked the Lounge and now it won't delete the bookmark when I click to delete it.
--Thanks.
