It would probably be valuable to make the FAQ sections linkable. For example, when somebody posts a question about the voting system, I'd like to just reply with a link to the section of the FAQ that says "How are ratings calculated?". One way of doing this would be to make the title of each section a link that is directed toward itself. For example, the section I mentioned might have HTML that looks like this:
<a name="RatingCalculation" href="http://www.codeproject.com/info/FAQ.aspx#RatingCalculation">How are ratings calculated?</a>
When I click it, that would put the following URL in my address bar:
http://www.codeproject.com/info/FAQ.aspx#RatingCalculation
I could then copy and paste that into a message to link somebody to that section of the FAQ. In IE, I could also just right click the link without navigating to it and select "Copy Shortcut" to get the URL.
I think this would make it easier for people who respond to such questions and it may make everybody more aware of the FAQ (maybe some people will actually read parts of it).

Excellent idea.

I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that. All Toronto weekends should be extremely wet until we get it automated in regular forums, not just QA.

[New start line]
[An insertion BEFORE the modified flag is set]
I noticed something odd when editing a post. It dropped the last paragraph.
I'm going to post this here to see if I can reproduce it.
Aha; it did it.
1) Create a post with multiple paragraphs. Do not end with CR (may not be required, but it's what I did)
2) Let time pass
3) Edit post
4) add a new comment AT START of comments
5) Post message
6) Click EDIT
7) The last paragraph will be gonemodified on Thursday, February 18, 2010 4:39 PM

If I select 'Minor change' does the change still count for editor points?
If yes, I think there is something wrong since I edited 3 or 4 questions yesterday, checking this box and my editor status hasn't changed.
If no all is well

All is well
You only get points for non-minor edits.

There is something odd happening with < and > characters, that seems to be intermittent.
[edit]possibly only in the c# forum[/edit]
First time I noticed, it seemed that the setting "encode "<" (and other HTML...)" did not make any difference - they were not being replaced. So I tried it again, to report it here and it worked - finger trouble I assumed.
Now I try again, in a different message:
Press Code block, paste a code fragment with no special chartacters. The final </pre> is replaced with "& l t ; / p r e & g t ;" but only in the C# forum - not here.
If it is relevant, I use am using Google Chrome, but I haven't noticed this before today.You should never use standby on an elephant. It always crashes when you lift the ears. - Mark Wallace

The whole site is freezed  from 2 hours tell now nothing was added and the timing on the post is freezed too. last post was 2 hours ago and it still tell it was just posted on the timing  Is it a site bug or something from my side? This is the first time I face this problem.

No, it is a timing thing. There are very few posters in the middle of the Pacific!
I notice in the morning there a lot of Asian Posters, then by 10.00am (Local Time) The Europeans are joining in and the Asians are dropping out, and by 3.00 pm the American lot are getting here.------------------------------------

Your next response was correct.
People don't refer to Canada or Mexico as America.
North America is Canada, Mexico and possibly includes the islands in the Carribean, though most folks do not include them.
South America is never referred to as America. No country there gets labeled as "America"
Nor is any country in Central America.
My whole point is that the only place people refer to as America is the USA. Considering there are only 3 countries on this continent, it is pretty easy to simple name each of them.

Why lounge sucks today 
I'm posting in the lounge but when I refrsh the page I find that my posts are gone  It happened to me with 3 posts tell now and I still can't find them.
|
|
|
|
|
| Adding to this, seeing this now. Only when being served by Web21 from what I can tell. However, the Lounge only seems to be getting served by Web21 unless I post a reply. He who makes a beast out of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.
