In a recent post in the lounge I had smileys interspersed between sentences in my text. I had two spaces to either side, but in by browser (FF2) when I posted the tesx was smashed up against the icon to both sides.
You know, every time I tried to win a bar-bet about being able to count to 1000 using my fingers I always got punched out when I reached 4....

I know it's a very, very long time since this was posted, but I think this one's been fixed (update comes in the next 24hrs)
Was it only  's? Or were there others?

Why the member average article ratings (MemberArticles page) are not weighted with the number of votes?
(Needless to say my rating would improve in the weighted approach  )

Are you asking why we don't provide average popularity? I'm not sure this number would have any actual meaning

No: I'm suggesting to replace average article rating with weighted average, for instance
Article A, rated 4.00, 10 votes
Article B, rated 3.00, 5 votes
will end up with average article rating 3.67 instead of 3.50.

(1) a "paste without escaping HTML" button, or shortcut, or whatever. Or an "toggle escape" button or shortcut or whatever, that - if used immediately after pasting - changes the text just pasted to the opposite. (It doesn't have to be that Office paste as widget, but the same idea  )
The underlying problem: I generally work with "Auto-encode HTML", but sometimes want to paste without (e.g. when moving a section of code around). In this case I disable - paste - enable which requires switching to mouse and back.
(2) For the articles needing approval, a "you already judged that" marker for rejected ones.
Normally, when I think an article should not be published, I use "Report Article". That's ok, but the article remains on the front page in the "needing approval" list.
I am not asking for a "reject" mechanism, just for a "I rejected that" mark of any kind.
I guess you employ heavy caching for the front page, so you may not want to have user specific content. If so, you could move the list to a separate page, and only put something like "5 Articles awaiting judgement. Muhahahahaha!" on the front page.
(Yes, to make that work, the number needs to include articles I marked as "reject", and the list needs to somehow show that)
hey, the number of "ha"'s could express the number of articles awaiting!
Oh peter, that's ridiculously overdesigned. if you ask the right question it gets decisively simple - instead of the egomanic "Have I taken care of it?" just ask: "Has the article been taken care of?":
1. A button "I would reject that" to complement "Make Article publicly available".
2. A counter how many people would reject it.
The "I would reject" button could go to the "report" page, where I can report gross violations / leave a comment.
Well, if you would want to make sure everyone clicks each article just once, you still have a per-user-and-article flag, but maybe this isn't even necessary.

If there is enough interest then yes, we could do this.

You could have the main list of forums that you have now + an incubation list of forums. The incubation list (which can have all these forums people keep asking for) would be accessible via a link or a menu. So people can still post on their favorite forums, but they won't clutter up the main list. If any forum in the incubation list gets more posts/month for a certain period, it can displace the lowest frequency forum in the main list. What do you think, Chris?

Hey
I am 99% certain I clicked on bad question for a question but it says I have voted it a 5.
It may be my error but I am 99% sure its not - just thought I would let some one know.
Thanks.

A little suggestion related to your post.
If we have possibility to re-vote for an article, I believe we should be able to re-vote for a message too.
What do you think?

You can. You just need to reload the page

I did reload the page to re-vote and it said I had voted 5 again - this was straight after.
Like I say it could have been my fault but I am pretty certain I clicked the right one.
Thanks

Yeah, but I think you can re-vote it as a bad question (and thus giving it a 1 automatically)

The Delete key no longer works (at my house, at least) when editing a reply. I'd first suspect my keyboard, but it still works normally in other sites and all applications. It might also be that my local gremlins are having fun with me, but I thought I'd mention the problem on the off chance that it might actually be a bug.
On a related note, the tab order seems odd. I believe that tabbing from the subject line used to drop the cursor into the text box, but it doesn't now. It's rather obscure just where the cursor goes, but it's nowhere near the expected destination.
[EDIT]
I have to modify this, Chris. The Delete key does work - sometimes. Perhaps there's a filter at work that doesn't operate until a page load is complete (I often start typing before everything is loaded). Or I may just be psychotic and imagining it all.

I've never seen it misbehave or heard others mention the delete key.
You didn't spill something on it, did you?

Nope, nothing spilled. But it is intermittent, and only happens when I'm posting at CP. Weird. Oh well, there's always the psychotic excuse to fall back on, I guess.

Which browser?
I frequently have delete key problem is Firefox - affecting all input fileds including the address bar, not just CP.

It's still IE6SP1 - I have IE7 at work and it sucks so bad we fired the cleaning staff. No need to vacuum weekly.

Check out this[^] post. When the message was composed, the Preview rendered the last set of PRE tags just fine. But, when shown in the normal forum view, the last set of PRE tags renderes like there was never a closing PRE tag.

Works fine for me... (in IE and FF)
