Ah. Right 
The forum "mark as answer" system is going to be removed. It was being used to provide lists of unanswered questions but wasn't being used consistently. It still marks questions as answered (and gives them a vote of 5) but is not being used as it was first designed.

As the subject says : WYSIWIG article editor "refactors" code in <pre> blocks - When that code contains Generics (.NET)
"Just change to HTML view then".
Too late... As the WYSIWIG is the default, and the code will already be altered.
I recently posted an article ASP.NET OO SessionWrapper - As an integral part of the objects them self.[^] which contains 3 such codeblocks (containing Generics)
On each edit I have to redo those codeblocks.
I even added a "note to editors" text warning about this - Not sure if that warning is actually displayed to editors at all.. As one other editor did some edits, and screwed up the code...
The other codeblocks are fine - Hence why I'm thinking it's related to the Generics syntax somehow.

Are you properly HTML-escaping the relevant characters, not just < but also > and & ?
You really must use < and > and &
Your article currently is containing weird things such as
<</span>T> where T :

I need to escape inside <pre> tags?
---
The example you listed is deffo weird - where did you find that one
---
EDIT
lol - in the first post I could write <pre> without escaping it - But not in my reply - Hence this edit
---
Double EDIT (ftw)
Think I found what you are referring to - You missed the starting span tag
<span class="code-keyword">></span> where T :
That's perfectly legal - and not of my doing either. It's autogenerated by the site...

Please do not use textspeak. It's the fastest way I know of to lose everyone's attention.

Hehe - I agree actually.
I hate the practice myself.
While the result is the same, in my case it's actually not a question of being perverted by "textspeaking", as I rarely ever send a text (10-20 a year perhaps), but more an old habit from not quite knowing how to spell a few words (english not being my native language).
As I said, I hate the practice myself, so I really try to catch my self - But once in a while you can catch me in slipping one of the following in.
ofc - Of course
ppl - People (no idea how that one got added to my bad habit list...)
def/deffo - Definitely (And I'm sad to say it's not more than maybe 3-4 years ago I learned it's not spelled "definatly"...)
Theres probably a couple more, but that's what I can think of at the top of my head.
So yeah - I know. And I try

Holy cow - That was some quick bug fixing.
Hats of to you Sir!

I haven't dared actually submitting - But the pre blocks seems to be escaped correctly now - rather than refactored/mangled

Luc kindly and accurately described the problem, < > and & must be changed to < > and &
All I did was change the ">"s

Aaah - You changed the actual text, not the WYSIWIG editor code - Gotcha
(I was wondering how the hell you managed to fix code so quick)
Thanks a bunch!
---
It remains that the WYSIWIG editor is buggy though (as an FYI)
In all the pre blocks I've done, I've not escaped anything by hand at all, I've simply copy/pasted from my code files (this done in HTML view ofc).
The editor has then made the syntax highlighting and (partial ) escaping on the code.
But workaround noted should I run into this again.

Thanks all for the super speedy responses - That's truly amazing.

Alternatively, if you're pasting in, check the 'Encode "<" (and other HTML) characters when pasting' in the Options below the message.

Thanks for the tip!
Hadn't really noticed that toggle.
It's on by default - which explains why I was struggling (not understanding) what was going on when sometimes pasting bits and pieces.
Seeing as the top of the editor window here has 3 distinct buttons for <,> and & respectively - Wouldn't it be nice with one for "encode selected text" as well 
I mean, if I'm writing stuff, say about html formatting, I'd end up using a lot of <'s and >'s, and having to move to the mouse to click those buttons for each (or writing the escape code by hand) is a tad cumbersome.
Just writing normally, and then when done mark up the text, and click that button would be sweet.
Not a huge priority I agree - Just a "nice to have".
- workaround is of course to just type your text normally, and then ctrl+a/ctrl+x/ctrl+c (with the encode option checked) - Which I just did

Hey guys,
I was just going through some of my answers in the Q&A and noticed that this one had been marked as the correct answer and then unmarked. There is nothing wrong with the points allocation, but I find it curious that (at least for me) the answer still has the "accepted" green background? Is this behavior what was intended? If not, my QA's would be proud of me for finding a bug instead of just creating them.
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

The Beginners Hardware and Device Programming Competition was supposed to end on February 28th but I haven't heard anything about it. I noticed that the hardware zone seems to have been completely removed from the site as well and the only way I can even see that the competition existed is by using the link I saved from when I first saw it. Was the competition cancelled?

The Hardware Zone was down in error. We had extended the Hardware competition to allow some more entrants, and wanted to wait a bit to allow the later submissions a fair chance in the voting. The winners will be decided this week

Thanks. Glad to hear the Hardware Zone was an error. I was starting to worry that it was abandoned.

Google translate gives me this for the Vietnamese translation of a comment on a native Vienamese question.

Hello,
Tow small issues:
1. It is impossible to upvote / downvote any of the messages from my BB phone. Simply the links are not there... And I can see my name on top so I've logged in.
2. Apart of that it would be ![Green Alien | [Alien]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/alien.gif) tastic to have the text window not as wide as it is today as it makes it really difficult to write any message from the phone.
Thanks for the great job with CP!
