While you are deleting his account Manfred, can you add another 100K in rep points to my account? Muchos Gracias. 
Just along for the ride.

That's easy.
Just use the Konami code on your rep page and see your reputation rise to the sky.

What, are you too much of a slacker to earn those points...
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

Ya Mr. Manfred
I already have an account here itorian, when I tried to change the emailid of this account (itorian), then it says emailid already exist.
I'm sorry Manfred for this duplication, I'm very sorry.
Please delete my requested (Member 8174745) account (don't delete "itorian" account).
[Note: Posted this message using both accounts.]
Thanking You

A month or two ago, when you clicked the Reply link to a forum post, the focus ended up in the 'Text:' area. You could click 'Reply' and start typing immediately.
After the revamped editing appeared, I'm not sure where the initial focus is. I have to either click in the 'Text:' area, or tab several times.
If it makes a difference, I'm using IE8.

I had the same problem for days. Finally I moved to IE9. It's as if Chris promised to help the IE team by getting more people to move to IE9

I can't move to IE9, as this is on my primary development machine at work, which is still running XP.
I may have confused the issue slightly, because I only upgraded from IE7 to IE8 recently. If I had a choice, I think I would go back to IE7. The font size changes in IE8 are extremely annoying. I have to keep the zoom level set to 125% for things to be readable.

Gary still searches using Altavista and has not heard of Google or Bing. And he was recently heard asking for someone's ICQ #.

When did he give up WebCrawler?

Sigh. The majority of our products[^] run on XP, so that's what our development machines run. Also, corporate IT is glacially slow about updating operating systems and such. There would be Profound Consequences if we updated to Win7 without their permission  .

... like having enough memory available to run a modern IDE without swapping?

We routinely have to replace hard drives in our development machines because the sectors where pagefile.sys is written have been worn through.

Have you tried moving the page file to a new sector, and then maybe rebalancing the platter with a bit of, say, chewing gum or something to make up for the reduction in material on one side of the platter? It'll speed things up by allowing it to spin faster. Trust me.

I'll try that. Given our recent austerity measures(*), the bean counters will love it.
(*) They laid off all of our contract employees, including our technicians  . We now have expensive engineers doing the work our $15/hour techs used to do  .
Got any gum I can borrow? Pre-chewed is okay.

This is an issue with IE8. Still trying to get it sorted.
Works fine on IE9, Chrome and FF. Not that I would ever suggest members ditch old browsers like they were last month's TouchPad or anything

Unfortunately I'm using XP for this particular box, which means I'm stuck with IE8. Corporate IT frowns(*) on 'non-aligned browsers' (i.e. not IE, pardon the expression), so Firefox/Chrome would be problematic.
(*) They have been known to remotely uninstall such things using their system mangling management toolset.
As always, thanks for the effort.

You know, it might be time to upgrade the old iPaq server farm to TouchPads.

Only conventionally installed browsers, or also portable ones that don't have an incriminating installer listed in the registry?

It's not been important enough to me to push the issue. We exercise a certain amount of care when poking the corporate IT bear with a stick.

Why does "He who shall not be named" have 3 articles from 2007 and 2009 in the "Articles needing approval" list on the home page??

Looks like that bug-out bag thread is more timely than even I imagined it would be.

Like dead bodies, things sometimes float to the surface if you go mucking about in the mud.
(We're looking into it)
Mr Sergio himself tipped us off: Some of his articles had been deleted many moons ago - possibly drafts or incomplete articles he didn't get a chance to finish. We made a change over the weekend that now allows you to delete permanently, or better still, undelete old, deleted articles, and it was the latter that Bill took advantage of.
