Curiouser and curioser; two Win7s with IE8, one has the linefeeds, the other doesn't.
The one without rebooted itself today. And I even just tried Ctrl-F5 a couple of times.
That's so funny I forgot to laugh.

When I go to the "My Comments" page, then I see my first 200 comments. However, earlier I saw my latest 200 comments, and that's what I also expect there.
Is this by design, or a bug?

Yes, I first noticed that yesterday. This is important to fix, as this is the only effective way to find your own comment.

Confirmed! I just wanted to check on a post I commented on and all of a sudden I was thrown back into the year 2010.
The hamsters seem to be running amok!
Please fix that one, soon!

Should be fine now. Optimized a SQL query and broke the sort order.

If I paste a link in a message with no selection, it is pasted correctly :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Magnetic_Hill[^]
If I paste a link in a message with the selection : "Magnetic Hill" it will be broken, I do this often when writing a message, I type my text and fill in the links afterward, it usually works, but not in that case.

Hi Chris (et al).
In the newsletter I just received, there's a link to a survey about competitions.
Unfortuneately, the link has merged with the full stop to give:
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Surveys/voteform.aspx?srvid=1496.
instead of:
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Surveys/voteform.aspx?srvid=1496
which works...
I doubt there's much you can do about it now though!
Iain.

The text version?
I'm guessing that, since the sentence containing the link ended in a ".", your email client decided was part of the URL when creating an auto link and hence gave you the wrong URL.
I've edited the newseltter so that those who are yet to receive it will not have this problem.

Hmm, yes, it looks like it was all Yahoo's fault for being "clever".
But I won;t be unique, so maybe worth putting spaces after URL's?
Thanks,
Iain.

Today I submitted an article. Someone suggested that it is a Tip and not an article. I politely disagreed and said I thought it was an article. A little later I saw that this article was published as a Tip on Code Project.
Now this is a very strange thing. If I needed to submit a Tip, I would have submitted a Tip. I did not change the type myself, since I did not want to publish it as a Tip. I would have rather not publish it as a Tip in that case.
I think this thing makes no sense. A writer alone should be given the right to decide if they want to publish something as something or not.
If the community thinks that something is not worth publishing, it is fine. But totally changing another person's submission without their will is not acceptable.
As soon as I saw it appear as a Tip, I deleted it. I am very surprised at this thing. Don't eat my apples if you think they are not tasty. But don't try to turn my apples into oranges because you think I should rather have oranges.

Hi,
First of all, I'm sorry if you felt the editor mis-categorised your article. I, personally, do not think it's a Tip so I've updated it and moved it back to being an article. I would not, however, call changing it from an article to a tip "totally changing another person's submission".
Second, you also have the ability to update your article and change it back to an article. Since you chose to delete it instead of simply changing it to an article gave me pause and hence I left your article in the deleted state.
Again, I apologise if there was any offense. We're here to help you share code and if you have a problem or a question on what we've done, just ask, and we'll do our best to make things right. If you wish to simply delete the article because of a mistake then that's certainly your perogative, but I think there's is a better approach.
cheers,

Thanks for the response.
The only reason I got upset is because I was not even asked if I wanted it to be posted as a Tip. If someone had asked me, I would have politely said 'No' and tried to improve my work without any complain. As to the fact that one can later change it, I would repeat the same thing: Why not ask before doing it, so the other person is not 'forced' to undo it.
I have been using CP for like a decade and have been writing on it for about 2 years. I spend time writing because I enjoy it; not because I like to start arguments that disturb my and other people's peace of mind.
Not everyone has nerves of steel and some writers may just be a little short of being totally crazy. For a moment I was just about to delete everything I have ever submitted. Now that's crazy, even I know. But ...
I would simple request that in future my articles are not Tipped.
Thanks again for your response. I will again try to post an improved version of my 'Article.'

I totally understand and apologised for the mistake. I've sent a not to the editor explaining the situation and it won't happen again.

I highly appreciate that you considered and fixed my problem. Thank you very much!

In this thread[^] Bill recommends the OP to post in Q&A as the forums are more for discussion rather than asking questions.
Is that what Q&A is designed for, I just saw it as an alternative to the forums, and inferior format IMHO.

Are you sure about the link?

Quick Answers is specifically to get answers to well-posed questions, and the forums are for having a good back-and-forth about stuff that doesn't always have a simple answer.
Turth be told I don't like having both systems running in parallel and would like to combine them.
How woul you like to see them work?

 *hic* oh bugger now I've got the hiccoughs.
It may be lack of imagination on my part but the current forum design suits the way I like to work, lots of easily accessible information about a focused subject. There is no back and forth between the list and the details.
Possibly add the answered options to the forum messages, highlighting the response that is flagged.

That'd be a great idea! Seems way more overviewable to me...
