Currently running around in a panic like in the Muppets.
(Actually it's all very calm and boring and Steve is handling this one)

I just glossed over the Daily News email from Code Project. At the bottom, there is a section called "Code Project Discussions - Have your say!" I think I've only ever seen this section contain links to the forums. However, it looks like this one has a link to an article "What every developer should know about bitmaps". Seems a bit peculiar, so I thought I'd bring it to your attention.

Hi all,
I know I could be marked as "old" but, sometimes, when I find a very interesting Article (like Sacha Barber's ones), I prefer to print them on paper, so I'll be able to make my notes, mark important paragraphs and so on.
Since last review of this wonderfoul site, when I click on the Printer icon, the printer ready page is displayed, but the column "Sponsored Links" is still in the output, so the room on the left for the Artcle is only 2/3 of the correct one. In this way the formatting of Article itself is truly unpleasant and there is a blank column on the right.
Could it be possible to remove the "Sponsored Links" column from printed pages?
Thanks in advance for your help
P.S. By the way, I'm still using IE7, because in the Company I work for this is the standard. Unfortunately also using Firefox (latest version on my PC at home) there is the same problem...

I am getting unexpected newlines inside a PRE block in a programming forum message here[^].
|
|
|
|
|
There are extra spans in your PRE code. Someone (yourself?) mentioned this earlier today so it could be the same issue.

I don't see any spans, not in the forum page, and not in the edit message page.
All I see is what I entered, a PRE block without any internal tags. All it holds are letters, periods, hash signs, and HTML-escaped < and >
Yes I did mention a spurious /SPAN tag that was visible in one of my old Q&A answers (both as a reader and as an editor).
AFAIK that is pretty unrelated: different subsystem, different web page, different editor.
[edit] I didn't put a lang="...", so there is colorization; I never get to see the code that takes, I guess that explains the presence of spans, but they aren't mine. [/edit]

...but same colouriser.
I'm debugging now.

I just got an email that said:
Deeksha Shenoy has updated your tip/trick "Output a Newline From XSLT":
However, when I look at my tip/trick, I don't see a way to look at revisions like I do on my other tips/tricks.

Here[^].
I was going to edit the comment that seems to be the culprit but I got much of the page below in the edit box, so I thought I'd leave it alone!

Hi Dave,
when you read some of the recent threads here, you can't but conclude something is going wrong in the HTML tags.
Not editing questions seems the wise thing to do at the moment.

We've fixed the issue with the comment editing. Planning on uploading today.

I know it is v v old but it suddenly appeared near the top of the list[^], so I had a look.
The formatting is all to c**k, even after several refreshes.

Well, just fixed it and came here to post the similar issues found with other few questions. (One was earlier with Luc's answer which he edited and corrected)
Looks like some recent change that has included html tags in the answer arbitly and thus distorting the UI. Chris?

Looks that way.

Maybe just a new "editor's choice" ploy?

But that would just be perverse. I like it.

I posted a variation of this message in response to a post by Nish a little further down in this forum. I'm posting it as its own thread to ensure that Chris sees it.
What I'm curious about is why the people ask questions in Q/A don't ask in the forums instead. Is it because they just click the menu item without waiting to see if it drops down? (That's my own personal guess). In light of that, maybe the Q/A section could be used to replace most of the forums completely:
0) Refactor Q/A to support "answer threads". Each answer will have it's own thread by which the OP and the answerer can continue to communicate.
1) Remove the ability for other users to delete anything from Q/A, and put the current "vote-to-delete system in place" instead.
2) Allow an answer to be *proposed* as "the" answer (by anybody that actually didn't post the answer), and for others to vote that answer as "the" answer. This would allow folks to see answers that may be the best answer if the OP neglects to actually mark one as such. Proposed answers could be oulined and backgrounded in blue (as opposed the green we used for marked answers).
3) Once an answer has been marked as "the answer" by the questioner, no further answers to that thread can be marked as such, but CAN be proposed as "the" answer.
4) Once an answer has been *marked* as the answer, it can no longer be edited, even by the person that posted it.
5) Have the voting system work the same was forums do now, and if an answer or comment is *voted* to be removed, it gets removed.
6) Have answers and comments that have been voted to be removed have a red rectangle outline (or some other obvious indication of it's status).
7) Disallow people from adding "official" tags, but give them the ability to specify "user tags". Question filters would then show questions by their "official" tags, and would allow the user to further filter by "user" tags, such as "gimmecode", or "homework" (or just show them as user tags in the question header block).
I think the Q/A section is more visually appealing than the forums, and should be used to replace the forums, but only after Q/A has been significantly re-engineered. Since it can already be filtered by tag(s), this would keep people from seeing questions about stuff they're not knowledgeable in. It would also make the Q&A drop-down menu pretty much obsolete. Oh yeah, The suggestions/bugs forum would most likely need to find a new home in the main menu.
