There appears to be a giant alien in the Lounge. This is not a bug report, but a suggestion that whoever came up with that idea (and Clippy, and yellow text for million+) be given a raise.

It would be nice if the date/time that a question or answer was posted was displayed along with the other info that's already there. I have no idea how old my stuff is by just looking at the list of questions that I've answered.

The following License preamble is an incorrect description of the license terms
# Source Code and Executable Files can be used in commercial applications;
# Source Code and Executable Files can be redistributed; and
# Source Code can be modified to create derivative works.
it should read "may" not "can". The license is giving permission (may) to do the things that are possible (can).
Given that this is a legal document, it is important that correct language is used.

Haha, that same problem exists in the MASM32 documentation:
The MASM32 project is legal mainstream software and cannot be used to create any form of illegal software whatsoever.
I doubt, however, that the difference between "can" and "may" would be taken into account in court.

Our lawyers reviewed this license ad nauseam and seemed happy with the wording. I simply don't have the stomach to send it back to them for another review

Or maybe my machine having a bad day.
I click on a Question in Quick Answers and the 'Print Share Booknark etc' is sitting atop the 'Ask a Question Latest Unanswered' links.
It maybe because I am on a netbook and the screen isn't sufficient.
Or maybe not.

What browser and how wide (roughly) do you have your browser window expanded to?

IE8 (Yeah, I know), and it is only a little screen, but it is on full size view.
I have tried again at work, (20" Wide-Screen) and it is fine.

It isn't the same as what I've setup in the "Settings" page. I see two horizontal lines now (even on this message), but see only one on the settings preview.

Are you adding an HR to your sig? If so, you don't need to since the forums will add one by default. In my sig, I have an HR but that's because I break my sig into two sections.
|
|
|
|
|
Unless the forums have started adding something recently. I haven't touched my sig, but it has an extra line now. I see the code is slightly changed (it isn't the same as what I've provided in my settings page) and there's no excuse to do it.
The sig should be *exactly* what I provide in the settings page. I presume something recently has broken it.

Your was wrapped in a div that had the ForumSig class. That class displays a top border, and sigs are wrapped in that class when they are added to posts. Your sig was double-lined.
I've fixed your sig.

'Code' tags for showing inline code blocks is not working.
>>> Set the <code>src</code> property of the <code>iFrame</code> object to the page containing the new data you want to show.
I tried to edit an answer[^] (with out checking who posted it!), but was not able to do it. It seems that the checked state of 'Ignore HTML tags' checkbox is always checked and is not getting saved properly.

I just tried to edit that answer and when I clicked "Update answer!", it just navigated back to the question/answer and no new version was added (i.e., the change was not applied). Strange.

Me too. At one point the Preview showed what appeared to be a correct rendition of the content, but when I pressed the Update button it reverted. I did notice that it is using a new version of the editor (maybe with Luc Pattyn's code validator?).

Hoi. Yes, my code has been adopted, and I don't know how they exactly use it, the goal was to call it only when actually pasting something; so simply typing text (even HTML tags) should work as before.
I tried to edit that message; I am able to, I see a CODE tag, it simply doesn't get interpreted. So my guess is the logic works as if the "ignore HTML tags" is checked (which it often is).
IMO the purpose AND the wording of the checkbox are wrong. The goal was to eliminate checkboxes as much as possible; IMO there should be:
1. a set of radio buttons, defaulting at auto (OK), just in case the logic fails to recognize what gets pasted;
2. a checkbox to deal [REWORDED] with HTML tags while something is being pasted and happens to be treated as text (because auto detect decided it was text, or the user forced it to be text) [/REWORDED]; so I would call it "escape HTML tags while pasting text"; that is quite different from the current wording, and I can't tell how it matches the current implementation.

The issue was a bug whereby you couldn't change the format of a post. This has been fixed.
The wording for pasting is very clear - as provided by the radio buttons
The "Ignore HTML in text (good for code snippets)" is needed for those who type in code manually. I'm open to suggestions for wording.
[default: true] "I will be using HTML tags in this message"
[default: false] "My text contains < and > - do not treat them as HTML tags"
[default: false] "Display HTML tags and entities as code - do not process them"
What's something clear and concise?
