And the color change for the visited link (in case of 'Article for approval' - it is missing), can we have it back?

When posting a message, I see this at the top:

Please add a space after the colon and add a colon after Author.
Also, you added the rating option during commenting, which is great. However, please move it to the left so that it is easily accessible and noticeable each time.

Space needed as well.

Oh, come on! All the more reason to move it. Unless of course you can cause the whole page to slide left and right every five minutes so we don't have to turn our necks.

hmm - now there's an idea!

It isn't uniform. If I change the layout option from the drop down, orange-ish text background goes away.

Correct. For layouts such as "Expand" we really don't want the page completely covered in light orange.

Bug #1
Steps to replicate:
1. Go to My Notifications page.
2. Right click on the message subject link and select open in new tab.
Actual result: Browser opens this[^] page with "403 - Forbidden: Access is denied." error.
Expected result: Either subject is not a link or it redirects to actual message.
Yes, I know there's a Go to link as well. But I do not like to use goto.
Bug #2
Update self post appears in My Notifications but replying to own post does not.
Suggestion #1
There should be a provision to go to read notifications. This will also need a link to go to My Notifications page.

The title isn't a nav link. Clicking the title opens the notification message itself.

1. Then title should not be link IMHO.
2. If I update my own post, it appears in My Notifications but if I reply to my post that does not appear in notification.

That is a bug!

Do you really want to be notified that YOU replied to YOUR post?

What should it be, then?

How about:
Left click: open the div below and show the message snippet
Right click + Open in new Tab OR Mouse click: Open the message (what Go To.. does)
This is consistent with the messages in our forums too.

Browsing Forums like the C# forum:
1. I am using "thread view" right now to quickly zero-in on threads that interest me.
2. I open a thread: I expand all replies.
3. Then I choose to reply to the OP.
4. At that point the message compose page loads, and I can see only the OP's content, and respond.
Here's the problem:
Very often I want to go back and view the other responses to the OP, as I compose my response: I may want to refer to them, quote from them, or disagree, or praise, or whatever, based on the other responses which I cite in my reply.
But, I can't leave my message compose page without losing the message I have now, perhaps, partially completed.
Here's what I am doing now to work around this in Chrome:
1. I use Chrome's duplicate tab feature, to copy the current tab where all responses are expanded to a new tab.
2. Then I start my response to the OP on the first tab, which switches me into the message-compose page.
3. I can then just click on the duplicate tab to access all the content on the thread, copy from it, if I wish to quote it in my response, etc.
Is there something wrong with this way of doing things: imho, it's awkward, and it depends on having a browser that supports "Duplicate Tab" as an option from the current Tab.
Note the great contrast here with the way QA forum comments, or responses, behave: you never lose the ability to see the total thread content including all comments and responses from others.
So, I'd like to raise the question: would it be of more value to CP to, on other Forums, as in the QA forums, show all the thread content when you are composing a response to a thread ?
For me, the answer would be a definite "yes."
And: for you ?

I *always* use right-click => open-in-new-tab / middle-click when replying to questions in the programming forums (sometimes even the Lounge or Soapbox, for threads with posts that get lots of activity). I also refresh the original page before hitting 'Post' in the new tab, just to check if someone else already posted an answer or reply.
While a bit awkward indeed and may be improved, it works for me.

Good point, Andrew, and I was aware of that option, but that option still leaves you switching back-and-forth between two browser-tab pages.
And, yet, in QA, we see there's already a working solution to being able to reply while seeing all the content in the context in which you are replying in.
And, I, personally, like that option.

When you are in the Reply page, you can click on (View) at the end of the OP's subject line, to open a new tab showing the thread, if necessary.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.
