You could always use Firefox and the spellcheck plugin.

I use a spell checker within IE to solve that problem.

ieSpell?
I actually prefer WordWeb Free. Anytime, we ought to select the word and exercise a CTRL+W (the chosen shortcut) to get the meaning or suggestions for the misspelt word.

Yes. Been using it for years with nary a problem.

Today I was writing a reply to one post in ASP.NET forums. The reply was bit long with a sample code. But when I pressed submit, it took me to an error page. Usually when servers are overloaded, I used to get this error, but the message used to get posted. But today it was not the scenario. When I started to type the reply, user who posted the question deleted it !
So I guess it will be good if CP can prevent the user from deleting the message when someone is replying for it.

This problem is something like 'Browser Closed but the Session still Open'. Can't be resolved. How the server can make decision based on something happening on the client?

This is most discussed issue in ASP.NET forums. This can be done by a timeout mechanism in SQL.

It's out of date and is being replaced (in the next couple of weeks) with a new system. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Hi Chris, thanks for your answer. Beside the problem with the specific page. Is there a way to retrieve a specific newsletter?
|
|
|
|
|
Not yet. If it's an emergency then send me an email (chris at cp.com) but if you can hold on then all newsletters will be up on the system

Similar to 'Coding Horror' or 'Hall of Shame', can we have a forum to showcase the various Requirement Horrors where we discuss about the following: (Or does 'Coding Horror' encompass this within its purview?)
1) Badly provided requirements by the client.
2) The sales/technical representative that we depute from our team does not properly coordinate with the client after being in deep sh*t slumber. They then resort to assumptions and rework besides acutely disturbing the other teams as well.
Wouldn't these be more critical than 'Coding Horrors' since it lays the foundation of the software itself?

I just noticed that google groups has a new feature that will obscure email addresses (they call it email masking). The way it works is this: When someone includes an email address in a post, the email address is masked - part of it is replaced with 3 dots, like this: hdietr...@gmail.com. The underlined part is a hyperlink, that will take you to a page that looks like this. After you enter the captcha, you will see the unmasked post.
I suggest that you consider to implement this in all forums on CP.

Great suggestion. But I have seen some people writing the mail address like name[AT]provider.com, so it also needs to be masked, I guess.

Do you really require that much of masking? The real need is to secure email addresses from automated spam robots which crawl the web and harvest email addresses based on the patterns like user@example.com.
Also, trying to mask name[AT]provider.com and similar user-driven masking might lead to a lot of complexities being built into the validation engine. Quite a few of similar permutations and combinations are:
1) Embedded Spaces like name (at) provider.com
2) Case-sensitivity. I admit that you can temporarily use a .ToLower() to pass through the validation engine.
3) Alternate Texts like name-nospam@provider.com, name (emailmeat) provider.com

I agree with Hans. You should look into that.

Any CP Admin around can help?
ASP.NET forums appears very much distorted. The alignment between the threads, left banners seems to be terribly disturbed.
Has someone put a bad HTML in a message or like that?
The links like 'Reply' are operational anyway.

I was wondering for a few minutes if the problem was with my browser, but I guess not.

|

Yes it appears very badly. I tried in all the browsers available in my machine thinking it is a browser issue.

It looks to be fine now. The distortion has moved to Page 2. My doubt is that some dumb fellow has put broken HTML in his query. 
We would get to know only after a CP Administrator looks into the forum posts and confirms on this. Only they can correct and repair the broken HTML.

I think it might not be because of "The Knowledge" who post "Sending Mail" .. I agreed with N a v a n e e t h. maybe.. cuz of "Sherin"'s signature..
