Bugs and Suggestions

quote text appears to be broken

7-Jan-17 5:15

Your links were surrounded by PRE tags. Either you added them (which means they will be auto-HTML encoded because the system assumes everything inside a PRE block is literal, give or take a few spacial tags) or when you pasted you chose "Paste as code". If there's a third explanation that will reveal a bug I'd love to know so I can fix it.
Is the message preview working for you as you type your replies to forum messages and / or QA posts? Regardless of your personal feelings towards my being transparent, we do see the preview stop working briefly during deploys. If you're seeing preview fails continually then please let me know the browser / OS you're using and I can see if I can replicate and fix.

My favorite method to paste "whatever it is" is "paste as it is" too, Bruno!

As to QA page... i use quite often "paste as code" and it helps, but i need to add specific laguage name, such as "VB.NET", "C#", etc.

Cheers,
Maciej

when I reply to a message, I select the text I want to Quote, I click the "Quote selected text" button and it acts like I've tried to Post because I get a message saying items that need attention -

- you must supply some content
- There were problems with your new post

EDIT (only on Pete' posts - I understand if this is because you dont want what he says repeated).

Tried exactly this with the above quote... works fine.

I recognised that too when replying to this post: The Lounge[^].

But for all other posts it seems to work.

[EDIT]
It seems to apply only to posts from Pete. I tried it here, in the Lounge, and in the forum of ones of his articles.

You're correct, just Petes.

Well, it looks like my posts are available for quoting again.

All the comments appear to have disappeared from my answer to this question. Part of my GUI is slow[^]. This is on Web 02.

Appearances can be decieving.

(We actually have a proper fix in place that will be deployed later today)

Taken that you have deployed the new version already the problem still seems to exist. Sometimes comments are shown and sometimes not.

For example in solution 1, Sql server:return column names based on record values I sometimes see all comments, sometimes only my own comment and sometimes none of them. However at the same time I see comment on solution 2 (or at least I think I see them all)

Huge amount of whitespace before table done as embedded html in a message

Just noticed that the little red box on the left side of my account name (the one which indicates how many messages I have) also seems to disappear once in a while. Not sure if this is related though...

This wasn't a problem when I started rolling my big eyes, and I don't think it was the last time I used it (a month or three ago)...

Example 1[^]

The Insider News[^]

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?

ARGH.

This is why developers re-invent the wheel. Everytime they use someone else's wheel they have a bumpy ride.

Funny behavior while moderating lounge post.

A user has posted a message to the Lounge which got wrongly caught in the moderation queue. I suspect he tried to post the message again, it showed up twice. I let both messages pass, and deleted one of them manually. But now both posts are gone.

Below is the link to one of the messages which I tried to reply noticing the member that he shouldn't repeat posting if the message doesn't show up instantly.
New Discussion[^]

Hope you can find something from the bare bits of info I'm able to provide.
Could also be that another protector has noticed the double posting and removed the other post.

Edit: Now it shows up as deleted (it's the one I deleted manually, the one I wanted to remain there is nowhere to be seen): The Lounge[^]

@cp-andy : Did you delete your other message?

No I haven't deleted. I think if it's caught in moderation queue then proper message should be displayed instead of 'Message removed'

I will post again.

Thanks

The funny thing about it is that it showed message removed after it was accepted, and then re-appeared in the moderation queue. And that was before you re-posted it.
