I don't want people to be surprised. I want them to know what to expect. It keeps the bozos pretty much in line...

Sometimes, when you are in a heavy traffic forum, you just want to see the posts that are really new, and it would be nice to have a Reset last visit date button that would do that for you. Would this be possible without putting extra load on the database?

You mean reset it to be Now, instead of LastVisit?
You could close the browser and open a new one...

You never know you might be good at it, and you already have all the tools / knowledge for one hell of a nice site

Incidentally I nearly got a flat tire today. Smitha found a large staple in one of the tires and I very smartly pulled it out only for the tire to instantly start releasing air. Fortunately the nearest dealership/service-center was 2 miles away and we took it there and got a new tire (since this was under warranty).

Yes. LastVisit = DateTime.Now.

Interesting. What about opening a new window while the old is still active?

Same result. This might be due to IE's behavior. I keep one window open all the time (with my email open). So as long as that remains open, it will not treat this as a new session which may be why my last-visit is not getting updated. Although if I wait long enough (2-3 hours) it does update (not sure what can explain that part).

Okay, I closed that browser instance too (the email one) and then opened CP and it seems to have updated:
Before:
8:41 8 Oct '10
After:
12:33 8 Oct '10
The time is a little off (by about 38 minutes) but that may be due to a slow clock on one of your servers.

Software Zen: delete this;

...and thank you very much, Gary, for inserting that image into my brain too.
Pass me a sharpened pencil. please.

This crops up every once in a while (most recently when I tried making this[^] post a few minutes ago. If I hit cancel and retry a few times it always eventually works so this isn't a showstopper but is rather annoying.

Being prompted to save a page? Weird.
Can you provide a few more details? Is it the page itself, a script file, an exe - something that sends alarm bells? What's the location of the file?

Definitely weird, especially since I'm not reloading the page between attempts; just clicking the post message button again, so it's either FF3.6.3 being buggy or something being returned by the server after I click the button.
I think it was edit.aspx. I'll take more detailed notes the next time it happens.
Edit: I suppose ym employers bluecoat proxy could theoretically be to blame as well; but the only things I've seen it break on first page load of the day, or are broken every single time I try and hit a page.

On the QA section of the site, under a question the Delete and Report cross and Flag icons are shown, which is inline with other areas of the site.
However, under an answer question, the Report Flag and the word Report is shown, and also it is before the Delete action, which is shown as a word, and not the red cross........

I was just looking at some of the recent poor submissions, and after leaving some formative feedback, I noticed that there is a delete action available to me under the Tip/Trick.
I was going to remove these as they are pretty poor.
When I hover the mouse over the Delete 'cross' icon, the pointer doesn't change to a hand like it does with the other actions e.g. improve, report etc.
If I click the delete cross, nothing happens.
It looks like there is a bug here somewhere.
