I think this idea has been brought up in a few different ways over the years, and the general response is that all communication should be public domain and not private because your discussion could potentially help others. However, I could be wrong in my recollection.

You're correct. I have had a number of people over the years try to get into a private support chat, but always refer them back here. If I want to have private clients then I will want to make money from them.

Yeah my Aunty makes lots of money doing that.

You can always ask them. But the majority here won't do it; we answer questions in our own time at our own pace. If you want private consultancy then you will have to pay for it. And the overriding principle of CodeProject is that everything is free to everyone.

To add to what Richard says, live chat doesn;t help many people: it helps one original questioner, but everybody else with the same problem doesn't get the benefit - just the conversation up to the point at which the conversation "went private". Since pretty much by definition the problem isn't solved by then, that just means that the problem has to be solved again (and again, and again) for each of them.
Why increase the amount of work the good volunteers do answering questions?

We had this with Google Helpouts integration and it never took off.

Be fair Chris - that wasn't your fault.
If Google had opened it up to "helpers" outside the USA it might have worked a little better!

For some time now I have noticed that I don't always see all the threads to a post, in thread view. If I change the view state to Normal, then I see all the threads.
Normal View[^]
Thread View[^]
This has been going on for a while now, and seeing that the problem isn't going away, thought I would report it.
I am using the latest version of Chrome, Windows 7 64 bit and viewing on WEB01

In my code was a bug.
Into source code I dug.
With a mighty crash,
That bug I did smash.
Take that you bad, bad bug.
New code will be deployed shortly.

Thanks, Matthew. I am glad you found the issue. I am also glad that my report didn't send someone on a wild goose chase, looking for a bug, that didn't exist. Which is why I am usually reluctant to report.

You sought it here
You sought it there
That elusive bug
Could be anywhere
In the high code
Implemented in Node
So many JavaScript lines
It left no signs
Was it a problem of type
Chris did grumble and gripe
With two fixes apiece
'Tis time to release
|
|
|
|

I don't know if you deployed the code fix yet, but things have been working fine yesterday and today; if that helps.

The fix was deployed yesterday. Good to know the fix fixed it.

Probably the first of many bugs for the new Markdown formatting option!
According to this[^] (raw version[^]), I should be able to do this:
```javascript
var s = "JavaScript syntax highlighting";
alert(s);
```
The expected output is:
```javascript
var s = "JavaScript syntax highlighting";
alert(s);
```
However, with the "Use Markdown formatting" option selected, it produces:
</p>
var s = "JavaScript syntax highlighting";
alert(s);

Wrong project. That's GitLab, not Github. Two very different projects. You want this page.[^]
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Which also shows the same thing, under Fenced code blocks[^]. I just couldn't find a link to the raw Markdown source for that page.
| First Header | Second Header |
| ------------- | ------------- |
| Content Cell | Content Cell |
| Content Cell | Content Cell |
Tables don't work either, and strikethrough uses -- instead of ~~, so I suspect the implementation isn't quite the same as GFM.

Welcome to Markdown. It's a mess[^]
I'll work on a fix that will get you sorted.

No rush - I don't think it would be particularly useful, unless you're demonstrating how to post a fenced code block.

You mean the sort of thing that will happen every 5 mins for the next week or so? 
```text
something like this work for you?
```
(You just need to escape the ``` with "\". See the Tips[^].

That works, thanks.
```
Code block - Yay!
```
Now, how do you post a code block showing how to post a code block showing how to post a fenced code block?

Hi, I just had my article consumed through RSS. Soon after that, I made some modifications to it. But now it appears in the moderation queue. Any help? I just need it to be approved by the community. It appears as 'Pending'.
