Hmmm, but my PRE block did have the lang set (to "text").

The system thought you were drunk and ignored you.
Some background: our old, old colouriser used to only be able to handle a single language within a code block (as most colourisers today do). If you had an ASP or ASPX page with inline code then you had a mix of markup and code. A user would need to specify, say, VBSsript as the language in an ASP page to make the inline VBScript look good, or they could choose ASP as the language to make the markup look good.
We then moved to our current colouriser that colourises each block in code according to what it actually is. ASP starts of as markup, the changes to VBScript colourising in the code, then to markup, then to javascript etc.
In order to get this working consistently we needed to override what users were specifying. Someone would create a file that had a single <% at the start and then was all C#, but we knew it was actually markup first, then C#, so we overrode their choice to make the colourisation as correct as possible.

Soooooo... known bug? 
|
|

I have no idea what you mean by that sentence. The issue is the 2-character sequences <% and %> always get highlighted inside PRE blocks, whatever language is or isn't specified.
Like so (no lang, lang="C#", lang="text", lang="asp"):
<% blah %>
<% blah %>
<% blah %>
<% blah %>

I just tried to use the following text in my most recent tip/trick as part of the abstract:
<% %>
When I posted the tip/trick, that whole block of text was removed (or maybe wasn't displaying because it was never HTML encoded and the browser didn't know how to handle the characters). I then edited it to HTML encode the characters:
<% %>
That didn't work either. That entire block of text was missing. Is this by design? Shouldn't I be able to enter HTML characters somehow into the abstract for a tip/trick?
|
|
|
|
|
|
It looks fine now because I modified it to remove the HTML characters from the abstract. And I don't see anything that allows me to view the history of changes to my tip/trick... think I'll suggest that as well.
|
|
|
|
|
Oh, and viewing the history of changes may not have even worked. When I went to edit my tip/trick, the HTML characters had actually be removed from the abstract entirely.

Added to bug list.

I'm wondering if the Q&A would benefit from a "Vote to Remove Answer" button on answers that would only be available to members of a specified level, so that if 3 or so of these members agree that an answer is completely innappropriate there would be a way to remove them completely as opposed to just 1-voting those answers. (ie. Experienced, active members in the Q&A)

People with the appropriate reputation level can already delete answers, and answers get deleted regularly.

I'm glad the system is in place. I'm just wondering if anyone would consider removing duplicate answers that are blatantly added after the first. It seems that many members are simply doing this to either garner rep-points or because they are simply too lazy to read the answers that are already there first. Either way, I think the integrity of the Q&A's would go up if this were to be done. (I know it's easy to make the suggestion and that implementation is a whole different ball of wax)

I reported a plagiarized article just a minute ago, but it immediately disappeared from the approval list. Backtracking to the URL showed it as approved, with all the comments removed (including mine), but now it is back[^]. Am I hallucinating?

One you report an article it disappears from the approval list. Good catch by the way!

I see! That explains it. I still haven't got the hang of this...
BTW, I figured out why the comments disappeared - I was looking at an older revision.

I am editing a question and I am told that I can't add new tags. I have to choose from existing list.
Do I not have sufficient points/privileges to do this? Are we no longer abel to add new tags?

It is lying to you!
Try Ctrl F5 and have another go.

No It isn't depends on privileges.
You must choose it among of list provided.
But apart of that I have noticed that some time it accepts custom Tags and some time it strictly prohibits for adding custom tags, It is something what I think is BUG.
