I know he's in the dog house for not changing it

Interesting syntactical question. I think the answer is "it depends":
If we define "have" in the narrow terms of "currently own" then it depends if you still own the dead dog. Even if Rover has been interred somewhere, is he still technically your property? If we define it more broadly "[from time-to-time] I have dogs" then the plural stands (and possibly sits, stays and does "paws").This is a bit like me saying I foster dogs. Usually I don't foster multiple animals at the same time, and at the moment I have no foster animals. However, the statement "I foster dogs" is still a reasonable one to make.
I guess if the target is never going to own another dog AND he no longer possesses his deceased best friend than it should be singular.
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

I have two crabs, I throw both of them back into the Sea.
Do I still have Crabs?

That's not a question anyone here is willing to touch.

Is the setting "Treat my content as plain text, not as HTML" checked when you're posting by any chance?

Only been here 11 and a half years, so you know, just getting used to the UI and stuff.
|
|
|
|

That's because the UI is about as stable as Ms Hilton's unmentionables*
* this is a JOKE, I know it is now pretty much stable and there is no need to send Sean round. Seriously, NO NEED!

I have found one bug regarding codeproject home page opening
When I try to open codeproject home page then domain.com site is loading. I searched google and saw that other people also faced the same. Here is one twitter link . https://twitter.com/search?q=codeproject%20domain.com&src=typd&lang=en-gb[^]
Please tell me what is the fix because I love to read CodeProject articles? Thanks

This problem was solved a while ago. Try to clear your browser cache, it should help.
|
|
|
|
|
Could you advise how to do this on IE10? I've tried resetting everything I can find in the browser, but its still doing it...
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

cmd> ipconfig /flushdns
Maybe?
(and the reason you saw this message twice, Rob, is because I was testing a different account and was distracted while testing. Oops!)

Unfortunately not, and I was wondering if it could be DNS caching somewhere.
Alas, it turns out I'm being thick. One of the checkboxes on the delete everything dialog in IE actually preserves 'settings for your favourite sites' or similar and requires unchecking whereas I was just checking everything and slamming the mouse button really hard.
Everything is normal again - thanks.
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

Excellent. Thanks for the update.

Cant remember the exact path but somewhere in the Options window there was a button for deleting cached files, cookies and so on. Have you tried that already?
|
|
|
|
|
Quite right, as mentioned above it appears something needed unchecking rather than its complimentary state. All good again - thanks.
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

Why am I posting this here, rather in "Spam and Abuse:" well, it ties in, I think, with the broader discussion going on about anonymous voting.
Example: [^].
Note you cannot tell who added the tag, and I seriously doubt the OP tagged his own post "No Effort" !
I've been on a bit of a crusade against this practice, at times just clearing tags like this myself.
An obvious fix would be to have the same thing happen that happens when you edit someone's post with a new version being recorded ?
thanks, Bill

Do you understand that I am reporting an action by some 3rd. party who has edited a QA question and added insulting content in the form of a Tag, and that there is no record of the edit, as happens if you edit the content of someone's else's QA question ?
While the frequency of this type of insulting re-tagging has gone down, it still occurs. I would like to think the strong words I wrote to the one of the more frequent nugatory re-taggers last year contributed to this, but I'm not sure.
If we don't know who did the insulting re-tagging, then there's no certain way to report the person who did it.
How would you feel if you saw someone had tagged a question you posted with tags like "No Effort," or, "I am stupid" ... this actually occurred many times in the last year.

Well Bill it was irony. I find the retagging of Q&A posts a bit trite and sometimes over the line. I think 'I am stupid' is inappropriate though I have not seen that myself. Most of the retagged questions disappear so others must agree to some extent. It is by no means the worst behaviour in the Q&A but I would not oppose the taggers becoming publicly known.
