Nope, I had the same problem as John lately, but only on CP, and I am on FF6.0.

I think it's to do with the live message preview and the message box losing focus. I'm disabling that for IE8 and below.
To see for yourself, enter a long message, then tab out of the edit box (it scrolls) then tab back in (it scrolls back). Nice, eh?

I think the latest round of UI tweaks has made a difference. The home page has an open, inviting feel, and the site seems to have more depth in many areas. I think the balance between social fluff and dev stuff is getting better too.
Of the three main areas that should predominate on a site like this, Codeproject has social fluff and dev stuff (articles, forums) nailed. The third area, tech news, is not so well-integrated on-site, although it is covered in newsletters.
Congratulations to you and your staff. There is no other site community like this. Hope you will keep up these improvements.

That is high praise Hans, and sincerely appreciated.
We have a lot of stuff to do and my constant frustration is in trying to get the stuff done that's important to the users' experience versus the stuff that's core and never gets seen, but is no less important.
All I can say is, as always, thanks for your patience and support.

This seems to be new - I thought it always used to?
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

This is new because plain text is plain text, so no need (and no sense, really) in encoding or wrapping since all tags will display as tags, not as formatting.

Um.
If you create a new question (or edit an existing one) and "Treat my content as plain text" is set, then toggling it does not show any code blocks as code blocks. This may be why some of the newbie questions are initially showing as plain text with <pre> tags - the option doesn't appear to do what they think it should! Only if they type after setting the option does the change take effect in the preview.

By Jove Walter, are you bored, unemployed, mad?

I actually have a simple program that will parse the user names, their biographies, and homepage, and put it in a grid for review. Its a bit quicker reviewing it on a grid than going over the users on the Who's who page. I'll probably write an article once the code is finalized. Right now, I'm still thinking if the program is worthy of an article.
Signature construction in progress. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Of course it is. Look at how many "reputation" articles there are, and then ask yourself this question again.

Thanks Pete. I'll probably finish it by end of September, if time permits.

I notice, especially clicking on a link from the CP newsletter (coincidence probably?), that the discussions menu shows "Bold indicates new messages since 22:00 31 Dec '99" and all the discussion links are bold. I have noticed this before and it is intermittent. Use FireFox 6 currently, Windows 7. Not sure if this is on my end or not. Usually it shows just since a few days/weeks when I visit each time. I see old posts similar but no dates as old as Dec '99.

The cause of this would be cookies being deleted, blocked, or if you're using a new machine or browser.

Just to head off the inevitable, here are the current bugs in these buttons
- indent and outdent apply only to text you select. This means if you select a partial line, it may not be outdented correctly, or when indenting, the indent will be applied from the beginning of the selection, not the beginning of the line
- after indent/outdent, the selection is unselected, meaning it's tedious to in/outdent multiple times
- the untab does not correctly replace mixed tabs and spaces with spaces. For instance, 3 spaces and a tab is the same as a single tab (assuming 1 tab = 4 spaces)
The buttons were whipped up in 5 mins just to have "something". I'm travelling for a week so hopefully I'll get a chance in airports or 37,000ft above the Atlantic to get some play time in.

I gather you're in the UK. Are you travelling around or staying in 1 place?
|
|
|
|

Both. Staying in one place ( paddington hill? Not sure - itinerary in other bag) and going all over the countryside for meetings

Test 1 was an 8 line dispose method, with 4 lines of xml comment at the start. Initially detected as text, when I selected code in the past it was tagged as xml not C#.
/// <summary>
/// Clean up any resources being used.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="disposing">true if managed resources should be disposed; otherwise, false.</param>
protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
if (disposing && (components != null))
{
components.Dispose();
}
base.Dispose(disposing);
}
Test 2 is the same code, but without the xml comment. Detected as code and lang="cs" was set automagically as well.
protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
if (disposing && (components != null))
{
components.Dispose();
}
base.Dispose(disposing);
}
Test 3 was a similar size xml comment and ~200 lines of "I didn't write and don't have time to refactor this method". (sorry no example since this is real code not autogenerated designer code). This was identified as code by default; but the lang attribute wasn't set at all.
Test 4 was the same code as test 3 but without the xml comment. Same results.
Neither 3 or 4 were de-indented.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

We're currently using Luc Pattyn's PRE tags galore: LPCodeRecognizer[^] code for the code sniffing. I've been looking at some other methods, including that used in the javascript SyntaxHighlight class to see if we can improve the accuracy somewhat. Unfortunately we're completely booked up with current projects for the next 4 weeks so it's not something I'll be able to tackle until then.
