Someone posted a large comment on this article and it seems the whole layout of the page has gone for a toss.

Yes. He opened two tables as HTML and never closed them. I feel like there should be signs like at the pool about "HTML table safety."
Please everyone, if you're going to use tables, be safe. Articles could get hurt.
I've fixed this one.
Thanks,

I'm having trouble with the comment section of the articles. They are fully expanded and it makes it annoying to view. I tried making the layout of the comments from "All Open" to "Normal", but there is no setting for it in My Settings to fix this. It seems there is a setting for each article and let's be honest, it's annoying.

Hello All,
I clicked on the Mobile View on the footer of CodeProject Page on my Chrome browser.
Now, I want to revert it back. But I can't get the option or link anywhere. 
Please help.

Recently changes an article type from "Article" to "Tip", and also did a tidy up on the formatting etc.
Didn't want it to go live, but wanted to leave it in the Pending state, so edited the status field also.
On clicking the publish, I got a forbidden message. Everything did what it was supposed to do though.
Edit:
It is repeatable, did the same thing on another item, so not just a momentary Gremlin...

I would like my CodeProject account to be deleted and all my profile data erased too. I assume this is the right place to make such a post. By the way, why is there no simple click-confirm-delete button anywhere on this website, maybe use confirmation link via email for deletion like you use for reset/forgot password scenario?

When you sign up there is a link to cancel your account in the email you receive. However, consider your account deactivated and cleaned.

I have posted a solution in this thread: Why this method does not increment?[^]
Early i've decide to delete it, but now i have made some changes and i wish to publish it.
Why the status of my answer is still "Deleted"?
Why i'm not able to post new solution in this thread (i've tried 3 times)?
[EDIT]
SOLVED!
Thank you, Chris Maunder

One important thing I should have mentioned, in my first message, based on my perception of the current state of the C# discussion forum, in comparison with the C# questions in Q&A:
The two types of forums, obviously, have a different structure.
In Q&A, you can ask the OP a question, or comment, via the 'Comment facility, and that attempt to clarify, focus, "frame," the OP's actual problem, and their intent in asking the question, is not an answer. And, if your rep permits, you can edit the OP's question.
That commenting process on Q&A (at best) can become a back-and-forth with the OP that helps result in a "good question," all without burning a tank of rep-solid-fuel to reach orbital velocity.
And, of course, the OP has the "power" to "anoint" a given Q&A answer as "The Answer," which smothers the now sanctified answer in reputation-glory.
In the C# discussion forum, every response at top-level to the OP's question gets #10 points (I'm not sure about responses to responses), and there's no editing for members (that I am aware of).
"So, what is the point, Bill, of your stating the obvious about the difference in discussion forums' and Q&A forums' structure ?"
The "blunt point" I would make is that the difference in structure is by design, and the two types of forums have different intended purposes.
The design is, imho, excellent, and if we allow the "conquest by fiat" of the specific technical discussion forums by narrow-focused "how do I do this" questions, and "quick-fix" answers (posted with the best of intentions), then I believe the "virtue" of the design is lost.
So, I, and, I suspect, others hesitate, on the C# forum, to ask clarifying questions.
The "blunt remedy" I propose, as a possibility, would be to let someone(s) with whatever number of combat-medals move posts from discussion forums to Q&A.

I can see what you are saying, but (if you don't mind my tuppence worth being thrown in here) I'm not sure it will help much. The reason you get "now do I do this" in forums is quite possibly because it was the first place they found where they could see discussions going on about the area they need help with. If the question gets moved to QA will they ever find it again? Or get frustrated because we "deleted" their question, presumably because we are an elitist bunch who don't want such simple questions intruding? (Not saying anyone is, you understand, just the newbie's view of what happened).
Plus there is the current effect of simple questions in QA to consider: vote 'em all grey and move on...

Your tuppence is worth a quid to me, damn the exchange rates
I hear what you are saying, and, yes, forums do evolve, change, and you do have the phenomena of "social contagion," where one person knows someone who finds something, or gets an answer, and then all their friends follow, and so forth.
However, I would like to pose the hypothetical question: is the identity of a forum analogous to a garden with different "zones:" soil types, extent of pest-control, use of fertilizer, compatibility in the sense that certain plants need their own "space," and the exclusion of plants that would, inevitably, grow tall, and block out the sun of the other plants meant to be grown in that zone, necessary.
Using that analogy, I could say that (in my perceptions) the C# discussion forum has been infested with weeds, and what that forum was designed for has been obscured.
Uh-oh, violent thunderstorm at hand. Perhaps more on this ... later.
yours, Bill

And the best way to deal with weeds is to use a good old fashioned weeding fork, right? (Unless you're lazy like me and just grab the spray pack of round-up).

Indeed, Chris,
But, perhaps, mutatis mutandis [1], these "weeds," if "transplanted" back into the proper "zone" of the "garden" (Q&A), would then appear in a different light (?).
Who has the reputation level that attests the sinlessness required to cast the first fork ?
yours, Bill
