Thanks for the confirmation.

At last a comparison! Please recall a comment I made here in bugs&sugs about the workaround I had come up with in order to sign into this website; if I myself can recall it .. it went "It's ok, I've got a workaround: Pressing Alt then holding it while I right click my cursor on the ghost dropdown I activate with my mouse-over during sign-in gives me access to the textbox and I can type into it".
Not the exact wording. These things age like fine camembart ... usually. But not this time. Please make this small-dog-at-eye-level-coffee-table-camembert happy by recoding the dropdown for this control EXACTLY LIKE the "Forum Message" comments awaiting/count "View all notifications" control.
THERE ... all I have to do is move my pointer to any "Re:" or "view all notifications" and just click to access.

So the sign-in drop down doesn't work (or disappears) but the notifications dropdown doesn't?
Which Browser and OS?

Hi CM,
IE v. 8.0.7601.17514
32-bit (on 64-bit WS2k8R2)
Yes/yes(no). The sign-in disappears BUT is touchy. And by that I mean using ALT I can activate it's second-clickedness.That second click is also where I could type in the two sign-in parameters. There are two so I'm saying to myself "typing in the top textbox my address, I'm going to have to click again to type in my password".
The notifications works as expected. There's no need to use ALT to keep it from vanishing as I descend the control with my mouse "overing", if you will. And that's the essential difference, two textbox inputs as opposed to one or more notification underscore-highlighting-on-mouse-over links.
Recall how skiddish these "transparent" HTML dropdowns were way back when they first appeared. Sometimes they showed text through them and sometimes they had utterly no &hoTkey (T) activation patency, etc.
I'll be the first to admit that the days of my dark-background/light-foreground "Tools/Internet Options/General-Accessibility/Formatting/all-ticked" are probably numbered and that using a mouse, as the new workaround proposed below suggests ... really, if only the keyword weren't "click" here.
Will say this, in my defense, other sites don't hassle me this way.
Anyway, thanks Chris. I can live with use of ALT.

Can you please hit Ctrl+F5 on the page and try again?
There was a CSS entry that may have been screwing things up for you. (Unlikely since I'm not sure IE8 supported it properly, but it's worth a shot)

If you click the Sign In link, you get taken to a full page - that way you can by-pass the drop down completely if you are having issues with it.

Not sure if it was reported before, but...:
I asked a question[^], Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov answered it.
Received the notification and the email that someone has answered my question 4 times.
Are the hamsters drunk that they see it 4 times?
|
|

Probably drunk.
Seriously though, it could be your email server, or something in between. Our code doesn't loop 4 times and if we had a systemic issue like then chances are we would have seen it either in testing or real life, not to mention the hordes of angry people yelling at us.
If you can look at the meta data on the emails themselves you'll be able to check if they are the same (as in, the exact same) email, or if they are separate emails we've sent individually. That may help narrow down what's happening.

I've had a couple of double and one trebble notification recently. I worked out that it was because the poster edited the comment a couple of times to get it right but perhaps I'm mistaken.

No, because I got the notification 4 times near my name at the top right hand side of the page, too.
You know, this shiny white number on the red background (Which is always above 1000 on your account  )...
I tend more to Matthews idea, what happens if the poster of an answer does edit the answer right after posting it?

I have seen the multiple notifications, but never multiple emails.
This is not as bad as another site I used to be on (I think they shut down), where each reply would give around 50-100 notifications/emails. I terminated my account there (as did most other members) after the site's development team said that was 'by design'. WTF?

Which browser are you using? That doesn't show up on any of the browsers I'm using.
|
|
|
|
|
Chrome, latest version. It was there for some time, I couldn't get about to posting until now.
I think it's the same on IE too, will check next time I'm on a PC
|
|
|
|
|
Home page is fine for me on latest version of Chrome.
Use the best guess
|
|
|
|
|
Same hear. No problems with IE 9 or 10, and latest Chrome and FireFox.
The problem is on your end.

I also see something like that once in a while, like right now in IE8 (on XP SP3). It looks the same in Chrome. When I sign out, the white space area is much smaller, primarily due to the "Articles needing approval" and "Cast your vote!" (article of the month) sections not being available.
However, I am actually seeing "the opposite" on my phone (IE10 on WP8), CodeProject set to Full-site, not Mobile mode. There I see a white space area under the Product Showcase. The text in all the sections in that right hand column are unreadable at the normal zoom level (except for the section headings; Our Community, Cast Your Vote, etc.), whereas I am able to read the article introductions on the left hand side.

It's because, as a high-rep member, you can see the 'Articles needing approval' list which is a little long at the moment. This pushes things down.

OK, no problem then. Just checked after signing out - the white area is reduced on Chrome and non-existent on IE (8 and 10, no 9 available). I wonder what causes even a small difference in white space... probably the Japanese OS I'm using. No extensions, and Ad-block is disabled for CP.

Has anyone else noticed the uptick of CUDA and particularly OpenCV questions in QA recently? Has the time come for a GPU programming forum and possibly a Multimedia\GPU articles section?

Yes just like that except a little less buried in the menu tree. I thought there must be an article category in there somewhere but I didn't find it when I went looking. Maybe that's me or maybe it is in the wrong place.
Whether there's enough interest for a separate discussion forum is another issue.
