Say my mouse is at the top of the Technical Blog page.
I want to click the "Blog Articles" link.
As I move my mouse down, it passes over the "Features" menu, the menu automatically drops down and covers the link I wanted to click.
Not cool at all.

That reminds me of a snowball fight I had where I lobbed snowballs over a car thinking I was pounding a mate into oblivion, only to see him standing someway apart from the car. The husband of the poor 70 year old woman who had been cowering behind the car and was now comprehensively snowballed said to me "Not cool. Not cool at all".
I felt terrible.
In this case, though, I will look to see how tricky it will be add a small delay on the dropdowns. They are purely CSS driven, no javascript, but anything's possible, right?

>> I felt terrible.
For beating up an old lady? Your emotional reaction was appropriate. 
At first I didn't like your suggestion....if I want a menu to expand, I'll click the damn thing.
But after some thought, if I paused on a menu to click it and it opened automatically so I didn't have to click it...well that might be pretty cool!

Pure CSS is lighter and "cleaner", but hover intent[^] is pretty cool too.

When I delete one of my comments (on a tip/trick), there is no indication that it has been deleted until I mouse over it and I see "deleted". I am even able to reply to it (I can also edit it and restore it so that it is effectively undeleted, but that may be according to design). I'm not sure if others can do the same, but that seems like a strange design. I also think it looks ugly to keep deleted comments around (though there does not seem to be anything functionally wrong with doing so).

I'll make deleted items more obvious.
We went back and forth many times on whether to show deleted items to those who had the ability to view them. Maybe we should just nuke them completely.

I can't see this in the list, but myself and co-worker tried to vote on the same post today, I had already voted. He got a message saying that someone from the IP address had already voted.
Any chance of making it IP / UserID combination?
|
|
|
|
|
If I am not mistaken...
The IP address is used to overcome the problem of people voting on their own posts or the posts of somebody they don't like using a different user ID (i.e., sock puppet accounts). It's unfortunate that IP addresses are sometimes shared by many individuals.

All I'm seeing is the basic list of times New Roman text with some images scattered throughout.
All site layout is gone!

FYI,
It was all good up until around lunch time, I think.

It happens to me at least 4-5 times a week using latest version of FF as well.
|
|
|
|

I think FF went and downloaded updates this morning when I started up, but the layout has been ok since then, It just seems to have gone around lunchtime.
It does happen to me occasionally, but that's maybe once every few months.

Looks like you're not downloading the stylesheet.
Ctrl+F5 will force Firefox to re-grab everything.
I'm making some changes which will hopefully work around this occasional issue.

I voted for this comment:
http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/3794547/Re-spanner-and-green-guy.aspx[^]
and it showed that there was 1 vote. But when I refresh the page, the vote is gone?!?!?!
[EDIT]
NOW it shows up - Either somebody else has voted and it has worked - or it's a caching problem?!?!!?
[/EDIT]
Also, I have noticed some discrepancy on occasion concerning the colouring of the comment headers. Sometimes comments that have high votes (in the case I noticed it, I think it was 4.12) are not coloured in red. Unfortunately, I can't remember which comment it was...
[EDIT]
It was this one, and it was 4.08:

The voting is due to caching, your vote is registered but because after a refresh you land on different server the vote isn't shown.
Usually it takes around a min for all servers to catch up.
I think a post is colored red for 4.5 and above. You can also tinker with the settings (noise tolerance) on top of the forum a bit.
You'll see if you set it to very low that post will actually become grey.

OK, I thought it was for 4 and above... That explains that.
But I don't really buy the caching explanation. Dalek Dave had a vote of 5 (not mine) for this comment:
http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/3794532/Re-spanner-and-green-guy.aspx[^]
I've seen that for half an hour now, but now, suddenly - It's gone?!?!?!

Caching is the cause of votes not always showing up. We are getting close to having our caching revamped to use a better caching service that will remove these issues.
Messages go red when they are over 4.5.

It seems to me that when an author answers a post in his article's forum, what he is doing is answering a technical question about his article. Why isn't his post considered the equivalent of an answer in one of the programming forums, rep-point-wise?
