It's not just you, it appears to really be broken.

Yeah... for me too, but only "home", the rest of the site looks fine for me... (maybe cached pages?)

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

Smells to me like a CSS/JS caching issue.
ctrl-F5 fixed it for me a couple of hours ago.

To help try and curb posting of ChatGPT and other AI quick answers/articles/tips/etc, can a warning something like this be added to the editor input:
for convenience, here is a link to their policy[^]

I totally understand their position and motivation, but my honest feeling is it's almost impossible to police properly, and is akin to them saying "don't cut and paste another person's answer". AI is very hard to spot, and the use of AI to generate a solution is no more morally suspect than someone using Google to spot a random blogger's note on the topic and use that as an answer.
Stackoverflow's reasons are: the answer may be noisy and over-explanatory, it may not be factually correct, it won't have correct citations, and if someone wanted an answer generated elsewhere (eg AI) they would have already searched. The first 2 reasons are already covered under the general "don't post bad answers", I rarely see citations on SO, and no, users don't look elsewhere first because StackOverflow has awesome SEO so they come up first in many searches.
If someone knowledgeable in the space uses AI to generate an answer on a topic they understand, checks that answer, trims it down to what's needed, and posts, then I'm 100% OK with that. Saying otherwise would be akin to saying we should ban code snippets generated by CoPilot. For me, the only thing that matters is
- The answer is correct
- The answer is on topic and specific to the question
- The answer isn't plagiarized. (This is such a debatable concept when it comes to AI), and isn't simply a cut and paste from any source
- The answer isn't offensive, abusive, so poorly written it's not understandable
AI is here. We can't stick our heads in the sand about it, and we can't say "Just Say No". There's an onus on us to understand the tech, understand the implications, and understand and use it in a way that's positive while also facing the negative implications of AI. I don't feel a blanket ban does any of that.
cheers

I hear what you are saying. I guess that I left it too open.
My thoughts are that AI is here and can be helpful. I have no issue with those who cite their sources, even when it is AI generated. I do this in Quick Answers to try and help others. Where I have an issue is with those who blatantly claim the work of others, or AI generated content, as their own.

Hey Chris / other CP staff,
I was wondering if there was a way to highlight a few lines from a source code block? A few WordPress plugins support it and it's quite handy when you want to call out modifications. The current alternative is to use line-numbers and then call that out (example : see lines 7 to 9).

Looks like there's a workaround for this, and it's one I had used 10+ years ago. Also, I did work on the original syntax coloring code 20-ish years ago, not sure if the current version has any remnants from those days though. The workaround is to use <span class='highlight'> inside the <pre> block.
Example
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
Console.WriteLine("Sup?");
}
}

Hi Nish,
It's lovely to see you active on the site.
Every time I use <span class="hightlight"> in <pre> an article, it doesn't work. But if you let me know what part of your code you'd like highlighted in an article, I'd be happy to try again to see if this is still the case.
Thanks,

Thanks Sean. Yeah, after a bit of a break, I've resumed posting some content here.
I did get it working. The trick is to be minimalistic in using it. Just highlight a few specific lines. If there are line-breaks in between, that seems to mess it up.

Thank you for the secret sauce! I will remember it for the future.

Not only .webp files have a much better quality/size ratio, but they put to shame all those JPEGs, GIFs, and PNGs a long time ago, and .webp is de-facto Web standard.
In addition to that, they support animation, and I have good plans for that.
I remember that SVG raised the safety problem, but this problem is quite solvable.
So, what's the current status?
Thank you.

I'm familiar with one web studio, not even that, - the whole company. So, these guys offer just an amazing range of services! The most sophisticated online stores, software solutions, and many other things. I recommend to learn more details by following the link website bug.
Thank you.

Absolutely agree with you, I hope they are already working on it.

I've tried to change tags for my article, Reverse-engineering Linear PRNG with Exploratory Seeding[^].
Initially they were: C++, Dev, Intermediate, random and I've added one more, RNG. After submitting the updated version for review, I've noticed that some other tag, Objective-C, has also been added. So I reopened the article editor and removed that tag simply by wiping it from the text box. After submitting this updated version, I've noticed that removed tag remained unchanged.
Note that in this later update nothing has been changed except this tag.

Hi guys if you look at My post you will see my signature has some extra text at the beginning - it's only on that particular post

Usually the only reason an old question jumps back to the top of the "active" list is if a spammer or code-dumper has posted something that isn't a solution as a new solution.
But for the past few days, the active list has been filled with old questions, because a CodeProject editor has been making fairly minor edits to them.
That's making it harder to see what questions are truly "active", and which ones are being targeted by spammers.
Is there any way to make these minor edits not drag the question back to the top of the list? If not, I think it's probably not worth editing questions that are more than a couple of weeks old unless there's a major problem with them.

I agree, and having looked at some of the edits I cannot see any good reason for why they have been done. Minor spelling or grammatical errors that do not detract from the clarity of the question really do not need changing.
[Edit]
An example of changes that are hardly necessary:
Quote: so can any one have the plugins/source code/ideas kindly share to me. That will helpful to me. Thanks in Advance.
