I didn't know whether I should reply now, or wait another 7 years 
How's everyone at team CP doing?
I have to apologise, I'm not on here as much now and just occasionally pop in past when something catches my interesting on the emails i'm still subscribed to.
I really don't know where the time goes nowadays!

We're doing OK. Busier than ever, which I guess is a good thing.
What's the latest set of wheels you're driving? I assume you've moved on from the RS4 by this point

Being busy can be a good thing, as long as it is not busy being fixing other people mess!
RS4....bloody hell, that was a looong time ago she disappeared! It got binned in 2012, I then moved up to a C63 AMG, and then got rid of that in 2015 when I moved to Qatar, where I simply ran around in a company supplied Mitsi Pajero for the 3 years I lived there. Left Qatar (residentially only, still working there) and relocated to Cyprus in 2017. Now running around in a Mitsi Outlander 7 seat 2.2 turbo diesel no less! 
Don't see the need for anything low to the ground here, roads can be a bit hit and miss, speed bumps everywhere in the towns, and locals drive like they bought their licenses so anything decent would just get trashed.
Recently moved my eldest daughters school, and the school run is now 60km one way, so tempted to go electric now, but no Tesla dealer on the island, and stories of other Tesla owners having to send their cars to mainland europe for repairs in a bit off putting. Haven't looked at anything!
I did buy a 500cc Quad Bike for running around the mountains and national parks and forests here. There are so many tracks everywhere and it is pretty much a free for all once you head away from the main towns and cities. It's great fun and having the constant sunshine is great.
Also got lots of clear skies at nights, so started astrophotography as well now, so that's keeping me occupied. I thought about doing some articles on Ascom programming, its an open platform for astronomy equipment, but haven't looked into the developer docs yet...maybe one day. I think I have said that about a few other topics, but just don't know where the time goes.
The ultrabook I got from you in 2012 for the Intel App competition, is currently being used as my outside laptop for the astro software. still working well, except the left trackpad button is spaffed, its got a wee bit of life yet, but without usb3 its a bit slow for large imaging/data transfers.
That's about it for now!

I'm sad to hear you've ditched the RS4 and the AMG for a Mitsubishi. That does indeed bring a tear to my eye.
But the ultrabook is still going? Crazy. Mine gave up the ghost a few years back. It was fun while it lasted.
Astrophotography was a big hobby of mine when I was back in Canberra. Clear skies, perfect conditions, but crappy gear as a student. It's amazing what can be done in software these days so if you've up for an article that would be amazing.
Take care mate.
cheers

I noticed[^] we only have the option of "Spam" or "Abuse". A button to send a thread to the soapbox would be sweet. If that's too much power, how about a "mark as soapbox" button and simply keep count?
There's also the reputation to consider; the thread is simply in the wrong place on the wrong time, it's kinda overkill to mark it as abuse. Can we have a way to report threads without the rep-damage involved? Would make it somewhat easier to rectify these mistakes

This has been suggested before, but I upvoted in the vain hope that the power of rodents will take notice.

When I want to insert an image (or other file) into my article using the CP article editor I often get errors when uploading the file.
I click on the button 'Browse File' and pick the image I want to add (about 15 kB on average).
I then click the 'Upload Files' button.
The first time I never have problems. The second time sometimes. Maybe if I wait too long before uploading another image.
Anyway I get the error that something went wrong (no specific messages).
This results in the 'Upload Files' button being hidden. I also can't browse to the same file because I get the message that it is already added.
I need to exit the editor, browse to my draft article and open the editor again before I can upload a new image.
I am still working in Chrome.

I also get this all the time, it is really quite annoying.

The html editor keeps on being a problem...
Editing code in code blocks is now much better, but sometimes random html is inserted in code blocks or in the article itself.
In the article itself newlines/paragraphs are inserted.
My article suddenly
looked something like
this
for no reason...
In one place only, in other places only a single empty line was inserted.
In code blocks the html is actually inserted, but then shown.
For example:
SELECT DISTINCT</span>
<span style="font-size: 9pt;"> BusinessEntityID,</span>
<span style="font-size: 9pt;"> Title,
</span><span style="font-size: 9pt;"> FirstName,
</span><span style="font-size: 9pt;"> MiddleName,
</span><span style="font-size: 9pt;"> LastName,
</span><span style="font-size: 9pt;"> MIN(s.SubTotal) OVER(PARTITION BY s.CustomerID) AS LeastExpensive,
</span><span style="font-size: 9pt;"> MAX(s.SubTotal) OVER(PARTITION BY s.CustomerID) AS MostExpensive
</span><span style="font-size: 9pt;">FROM Person.Person AS p
</span><span style="font-size: 9pt;"> LEFT JOIN Sales.Customer AS c ON c.PersonID = p.BusinessEntityID
</span><span style="font-size: 9pt;"> LEFT JOIN Sales.SalesOrderHeader AS s ON s.CustomerID = c.CustomerID
</span><span style="font-size: 9pt;">ORDER BY FirstName, MiddleName, LastName</span><span style="font-size: 9pt;"> </span>
I can guarantee I did not insert all those spans...
Edit: I am using Chrome.

Have you tried to select the checkbox "Expert mode: Don't mess with my HTML formatting"?
|
|
|
|
|
I haven't. I don't consider myself an expert. But if expert means I won't insert a bunch of empty lines in my article then yes, I might actually be an expert after all!

There seems to be a spate of folks double-posting their questions recently, one to C# QA, and a duplicate to C# 4.0 QA.
I assume this is not desirable: please correct me if that assumption is an error.
I think it would be a good idea if the QA FAQ, in the "rules" section, mentioned that a poster should post on one forum at a time.
thanks, Bill

I have been experiencing slow downs in the forums for some time now which I have directly traced to ads running in flash.
Impacts are usually one of the following
- Long page loads.
- Long time to open message
- Long time to open reply window.
I know this is related to flash because if I start killing flash as soon as I see the problem the problem often disappears. However once it starts I can expect to be required to kill flash for every new page load for some time.
I have experienced this on three different computers (completely different types) with different OS versions and three completely different networks.
And at least one of the networks is quite fast. I do run virus checkers but I was using two different types of those as well.
I can't say that it happens with all of the flash ads. But once it starts happening it seems to happen for a while (could of course be the same ad.)
I have on occasion experienced this on other sites but nothing like I see here. But to be fair I spend more time here than elsewhere.
Might not be anything that is fixable but just noting it as a problem.

I realized that I've been missing a lot of interesting articles because of my filters that I set for Q&A.
What I'm feeling comfortable in answering in the Q&A isn't necessarily the same as which articles I'm interested in reading.
Is it possible to get two sets of filters? One for Q&A and one for article filtering?
Or to put it differently, one filter for learning and one filter for helping.
