Well, do what I do - write your article text offline and when you're ready, go into the article wizard, upload your files, copy/paste your article text (followed by making any necessary adjustments), and Bob's your uncle. That way, you always at least have your original text to fall back on in case CP trips over Chris.

Sure... bring logic and sense into my rant... make me feel dumber than a stump... hurt my feelings... it's OK.  
But, good idea... thanks!

Yep, we know it's suboptimal and will be fixing this.
Sorry about that.

This happens when viewing any article and curiously whilst posting this message. I see the capital L and half an o before the page stops.
Admittedly, I'm using Windows7 with IE8 in compatability mode so it's probably not CP but MS. Can check tomorrow on XP with IE7 and Firefox if needed.

Fine in Firefox, but does the same in IE7 (Win XP) - same screen resolution.

Happens in IE7 as well. I raised this a while back with Chris, but he's been unable to reproduce it (even though it happens for me consistently). It seems to happen when you are in one of the pages, then you flick over to another tab. When you flick back to the CP tab and select a link, the Lounge link almost disappears.
Note that the horizontal scroll bar appears, and performing a mouse over on the Lounge link brings it back to its normal position - and the horizontal scroll disappears.

OOh - so it does! Well spotted Pete. I'm suprised Chris hasn't been able to reproduce, that's two machines I've got it on

Yes, spotted this one yesterday but haven't had a chance to nail it.
It's certainly an odd one!

please add a sticky message to the Java forum, it desperately needs a message quality boost.

That has been fixed, thank you!

The message being replied to is in a fixed width box instead of spanning the available space.

This is in response to the bug you posted "Reply to this post, the edit box is as disgustingly wide as the post being replied to. Not the width of the monitor"
IE was not following the overflow:scroll directive in PRE tags that would allow me to make the width expandable while also having extra wide parts scroll, so I made it fixed width in order to force it.

Meet the new bug, same as the old bug. 
This IMO is a step backwards. It makes every posting fugly on my 1600x1200, the prior problem was only an issue when someone idioted in a post.

There is a site bug when using chrome, whereby if you open up for example the lounge, the latest news box on the right, covers the 'Search Messages' text and the 'Set Options' button.

I'm running Chrome and can't repeat the problem. Maybe a Ctrl+F5 to clean things out?

Hi Chris,
Did a CTRL+F5, made no difference, but still visible on my machine. Chrome version 1.0.154.48.
I have found that it relates to the width of the browser window, once the text stops wrapping the bug exposes itself.
Cheers,
dave

Try now?
For the life of me I can't reproduce the problem in Chrome.

Attempted to make some changes to my information under "My Settings".
There appears to be no facility for "saving" any changes; i.e. there is no obvious "save" button (that I could see).

Indeed, something seems missing on each of the tabs.

The 'Save my Settings' button at the bottom is what you're after.

Yes, a "Save my Settings" button would be nice to have.
I don't see one, on whatever tab, using FF3 or IE7.
I do see some new "location based services" stuff
and I already did CTRL+F5

Thank you ... Found it and it works. All is now well with the world.

When on the home page, I can see new articles on the Top 10 Updates. When I click the link, it only shows Updated and Moved articles. Did I miss something?
|
|
|
|

All fixed. You were seeing the new articles - they were just being marked as 'moved' due to a slight bug.

Thank you kind sir! Got my certificate today! Going to have it professionally framed. Are the Bob bits iron ons?

They are stickers! Ironing might turn out a little messy
