The forum menu on the left is getting really long. Has anyone considered making it collapsible to limit the size?

It is not as long as the page, but once it gets there, I think it may be useful.

It's bad enough trying to get people to post into the correct forum when they can see the list. If it's collapsed, it will be nigh on impossible.

If the sections you're not in were to be collapsed, I don't think that even the noobs would have a problem. The click on a single link for Programming Questions and then get re-directed as appropriate.

I would think "most" users of CP would still understand a collapsible menu format. Not knowing where to place questions derives from not knowing what exactly to ask or where it fits in I suppose but....don't think you could ever prevent all the navigation sort of errors. Maybe CP needs a sort of area that folks can go to answer a few questions that will then give a better clue of where to place questions?? That would be for folks that have to be somewhat totally lost I guess. As I get a little more knowledge under my belt it seems simple enough to ask the appropriate question in the appropriate forum.

On my 'Professional Profile' page i have neat little coloured boxes telling me my status in all reputation categories except author. I assume this is because i have yet to have any submissions accepted (im working on it).
My question is, why do not have a box anyway? according to the reputation point guide the 0 point author status is defined and has a name ('Browser')
I think having a white box with a big fat 0 in it would encourage the 'point collectors' (ok, i admit i like to see the numbers go up) to consider submitting content. It would also make clear the distinction between 'hasnt had a submission accepted' and 'Under Water'

I faced the same problem while voting some article. Seems my Vote is accepted by I can't see the message.

I found some similarities between said article and a book on google books: Developer's workshop to COM and ATL 3.0.
Can somebody else look into this, I may be wrong, but who knows?

The author has provided a reference link to an MSDN section, the article is a cherry-pick of the terminology from that, the article section headers match the COM Technical Overview Page, with content being picked from within.
More a bulletted summary than an article...........

Thanks very much for the catch. I have temporarily removed the article and began a dialogue with the author.

...with no way to undo the deletion.
This seems to happen when I'm writing a long post and have resized the editor window. The loss of work isn't welcomed. 
Update 3-Sep-2011 5:15 PM:
The deletion occurs when I hold the Shift key and press End or the cursor keys. Selecting characters with the mouse doesn't auto delete at the end of the selection process.

IE8?
I've tried everything and can't replicate.

Are you still seeing this happen? Is there specific text that it always happens on, or is it random?

This no longer seems to happen. Perhaps it was a side-effect of something else that may have got fixed?

A post of more than a few paragraphs injects delays of more than 1 second between keystrokes, evidently caused by the preview mechanism parsing and formatting the preview. Please consider providing a checkbox that disables the preview feature.

Or you may make shorter answers.

Heh. Actually my post[^] was only 4 paragraphs in length.

Or, a refresh of the Preview only when the user clicks the cursor on it and gives it focus ? ... said without knowing if this is possible given the internal structure of CP's site ... take with grain of salt: of course ...
