It may be the spam detector: it seems to be throwing up a lot of false positives...including your message here, which I just had to approve.

Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I came to report the same problem. Glad to see that somebody has already mentioned it... Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

[EDIT] Replying to THIS message went ok, but I cannot reply to anything in the Lounge without getting an error first. If I try again, it often works, but sometime it results in double posts... [/EDIT]

PHP blog not displaying correctly

I just posted a blog on PHP, but it's not showing correctly... Web development #4: PHP in the back[^]
All the code samples with PHP have the ?> highlighted (sometimes the <? too), but after the first ?> nothing shows anymore. So it's kind of a blog with half code samples...
When I went to edit my article I noticed that everything was copied correctly from my original blog and it even shows correctly in the editor.

And I just noticed it doesn't show anything between <? and ?> here either unless I type & l t ; and & g t ; explicitly..., but it's already like that in my blog Confused | :confused:

A little help here, thanks Laugh | :laugh:

I see you changed all of the troublesome PHP formatted code to HTML format.
At least it's all displaying correctly, although I am missing some color highlighting and in one code block some text suddenly turns red (a for loop, I checked the html formatting, but there's nothing there).

I still think it's a bug that I can pick PHP from the list of supported languages, but when I do it breaks my article.

Nope, because that made everything after ?> disappear again.
I have two code blocks where this is an issue. All other code blocks end with ?> so nothing 'falls off'.
The code block before the last one has two PHP bits and it's actually missing half of the code, but you only see one. There's another code block that's missing a </p> (the fourth last I think).

I now have three code blocks for what is supposed to be one code block. At first I thought I was missing the part above <?php and below ?> <-- This seems to work now though, before you wouldn't have seen it!

7z support

Hi, support people.

Recently I've discoved sort of a problem with article submission. You see, in the article submission wizard it is said that 7Z archives are supported. In reality, not entirely. One can upload them, but when you create a link to 7z file in your article, it can't be downloaded. The 404 error will be shown. So I had to replace 7z with zip. Could you verify that everything is OK with 7Z? Maybe they're not in IIS mime list. Or just remove all the words about 7Z support from the article submission wizard. I'm using Firefox 35.0.1.

Thank you.

7z support has been painful. The libraries we use have been very patchy in their ability to actually read 7z files. Overall 7z is not a common format so our approach has been to support uploads and the convert 7z files to standard zip files to ensure the largest audience possible can view them. Check to see if a zip version has been created automatically and try linking to that.

Could you please post the URL to your article? I'm assuming the 7z is still there. I'll take a look and try and get the 7z link working too.

cheers

OK, my article is here C++/CLI for Beginners[^]. 7z hasn't been replaced by zip automatically, so I did that manually. The article has been reviewed by one of your editors after the update already.

While composing a new article with uploaded files, when I go to remove one of the files from the list, clicking the red X produces:

Error occurred while deleting file. {"Message":"There was an error processing the request.","StackTrace":"","ExceptionType":""}

and the progress bar just spins and spins.

I posted a reply to a message in forum didn't displayed. When I checked my messages (in my profile) I saw that message with a tag not publicly available.
Did I do something unknowingly which made it not public or I am missing something here.

That's because they (including this one) went to moderation. But I approved them.

Has something recently changed? I didn't have my messages required for approval earlier.

They must have changed something, because I'm seeing a lot more OK posts going to moderation today.

Could be, but after those two messages my others posts are getting through normally.
