Hmm. I'll think about how best to do this and whether we can fit everything on.

I've noticed that a ":" + "O" creates a  .
Can I suggest the face used on most social sites/chat apps (i.e MSN Messenger) be used instead?

Today I got an email notification pointing me to a response to a post of "mine", a link to the post can be found here[^]: the reply isn't to a post of mine. I think something is going wrong with the forum links as I've experienced a number of problems with them lately.

I've been getting these server-busy errors in the message forums for days now. Certain forums are slow. Some are completely unusable/unreachable. But I don't hear anyone else complaining so is there something I can do on my end to be one of the 9,500 people online right now? Thank you.

Sorry - was just doing some unavoidable DB maintanence. Should be better now.

A while back - like last year - I suggested a new icon for message types: a suggestion icon, that could be used both on this forum and on article forums. What do you think?
|
|
|
|
|
I like the idea of the suggestion icon. Have you emailed Chris about it?

I only email Chris when it's really serious (like when one of my articles gets mangled  ). I don't consider this to be critical, and besides it sounds like he's busy today.

Yep. I am sure he takes note of many of the suggestions in this forum, but as we all know, time is a tough resource to come by. Never seems to be enough of it

Yet every post made here goes to his inbox.

I think it's a great idea. The trick is that some forums should only have some icons (eg Bugs and Suggestions should have a 'bug' and a 'suggestion' icon, whereas the lounge should have the current set. I reckon the Soapbox could have it's own, special, set  )
This just adds an extra layer of code that I haven't had a chance to get to yet. But yes, a great idea.

It swallows all my pretty formatted C# code 
Why cant I format my own code like the following?
<font color="Blue">class</font> <font color="Teal">WaitList</font> <font color="DarkBlue">:</font> <font color="Teal">IDisposable</font>
<font color="DarkBlue">{</font>
<font color="Blue">readonly</font> <font color="Teal">List</font><font color="DarkBlue"><</font><font color="Teal">IAsyncResult</font><font color="DarkBlue">></font> waits <font color="DarkBlue">=</font> <font color="Blue">new</font> <font color="Teal">List</font><font color="DarkBlue"><</font><font color="Teal">IAsyncResult</font><font color="DarkBlue">></font><font color="DarkBlue">(</font><font color="DarkBlue">)</font><font color="DarkBlue">;</font>
<font color="Blue">public</font> <font color="Blue">void</font> Add<font color="DarkBlue">(</font><font color="Teal">IAsyncResult</font> ar<font color="DarkBlue">)</font>
<font color="DarkBlue">{</font>
waits<font color="DarkBlue">.</font>Add<font color="DarkBlue">(</font>ar<font color="DarkBlue">)</font><font color="DarkBlue">;</font>

This would just be considered an annoyance. The CodeProject has a custom formatter that removes all previous formatting on code and adds its own formatting based on the language chosen. Their is a warning in the article wizard that advises people of this. This is only in place to have consistent formatting throughout the entire site and to avoid over/under formatting and also to avoid abuse.

Because it's non-standard?

HTML 5 spec says FONT tag is ok for HTML generated from editors.

I meant on CP.
I've been frustrated by the submission template saying "Please use simple formatting (<h2>, <p> etc)" and then when I used the simple formatting of a list (OL or UL) my submission was rejected. I mean, come on, if I can type it in Notepad (which I do), it must be simple!

How and by whom? Because of OL/UL? That doesn't sound right...

When you reply to a post that has lots of other posts between it and your reply it’s hard to put it in context. The parent post may not even be on the same page and all you’ve got to go by to match it to its parent is the level of indentation. This has been a thorn in my side for some time. I can think of two obvious ways around this (although others may have better ideas):
- A button which takes you to a post’s parent.
- A button which picks out a “thread” based on a post. A "thread" in this context consists of the post on which you click the button, its parent, its parent’s parent, and so on back to the root post.
I’d prefer the second option.

Do this[^] Google search. It searches for "VanillaConsole", which is the name of the skeleton console application I use when I post on the forums. Clicking on the links doesn't bring you to the correct posts. If you click on the "cached" link it works however.
On a side note, when I use the cached link I get the same problem I get in IE (missing buttons and such) in Firefox.
