I found and fixed the issue with the non-JS version.

I just posted a new message in The Lounge. After typing the subject, for some reason, I hit return.

The cursor stayed where it was (at the end of the subject) but a start bold tag and a close bold tag appeared in the Text: editor.

The buttons to set the styles become the default action, not the button to submit your post. Otherwise we'd see a lot of half finished posts Wink | ;)

That is OK and, for the reason you state, a good plan. I am just surprised that it still applies when in the Subject: editor. I would have thought that <return> there would either do nothing or move into the Text: editor.

Still if you guys think the current situation is OK, who am I to argue? Big Grin | :-D

Make repeat of article content optional when browsing article responses.

I was responding to article questions at the bottom of a WMI article today.
Each time I went to the next page using 'next' it seemed the entire article content was resent to my browser and I had to scroll through the entire article contents to where the questions and responses were located.

It would be nice to have a button which shows/hides the article content so I can focus on rapidly reading/reviewing the article's questions instead. This one particular WMI article was around 5 pages long and it got kind of annoying to keep scrolling past the article's contents each time I wanted to see the next page of questions.

I am not normally a complainer, but I found this particualrly annoying enough to write to you here. Thanks. Cool | :cool:

Maybe the article's forum could be put on a separate tab? it could solve the load, it may make it more difficult to understand the messages as now the article is nowhere to be seen at the same time.

I have had several drop outs of CP this morning, it just seems to give up the ghost and die. Noticed this when using the Article submission wizard and replying to messages.

Hamsters need fed.

Codeproject Utilities

Re: Codeproject Utilities [modified]

With more of the community giving things back, it may be a good idea to a have a page, maybe listed under the Features / CodeProject Stuff, that provides links to the articles that contain the utilities that have been provided by the community for interacting with CodeProject.

Unless a user was to accidentally come across such things, how would they know they are there. It would also maybe encourage more community involvement.

The page would need a suitable brief disclaimer to state these are user community tools, and may stop working if the main codeproject site content is changed, and are not directly supported by or maintained by CodeProject.

So far we have, as far as I know;
Lucs CPVanity : CP Vanity[^]
Nishants New Post Tracker : Code Project Forums : New Posts Monitor[^]
Joes CPForAndroid : CPForAndroid and an Android Project Template[^]
JSOPs Article Tracker : CodeProject Article Scraping[^]
and not forgetting Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

my CPRepWatcher Chrome Extension : Google Chrome Extension - CodeProject Reputation Watcher[^]

There are maybe others, but these are the ones I am aware of.
