I do not know if this is the correct place as Bugs and Suggestions did not seem correct.
I opted out of the new Web newsletter (at least it said it was new). I got -50 points, but I do not see +50 for starting it. As I never selected it I do not know when to look for the 50 but I did look back a couple of days.
Just curious.

I went to the safari park with my father at the weekend.
We were discussing the mating habits of the different animals when I said to him "Do these buffaloes mate for life?".
He said "They're bison".
I said "Well, it's a free world dad".
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

You probably got the original 50 way back. It won't show up in your recent history.
The newsletter points are not that good since they don't give you credit for each newsletter you receive. So unless you really want those newsletters, I'd unsubscribe since they don't mean a lot in the overall scope of the rep score system.

This is a bug. I will fix.
Points have been added to your rep history to mark the initial subscription event, but I will have to resync our tables to get your total points correctly attributed.

I think you need to recognize people who stay subscribed for a long time. Something like every month of staying subscribed gets them 100 points, or maybe 25 points per delivered newsletter (email bounce verified).

Using IE8:
0) The pre-block pop-up pops up when your mouse is hoevered over the answer textbox control, and only goes away when your mouse leaves the control.
1) When I try to submit an answer, it asks me if I'm sure I want to leave the page, and doesn't submit my answer (yes, I'm saying it's okay t leave the page).

In addition to this, the right panel where we can see the sponsored links, top experts in the last 24 hours and the last month part, is appearing on the solution part so it is blocking the textbox where you enter your solution. It is in the middle so I can not see the whole textbox because of this. I can still type my solution though but can not able to submit it ( which is asking me "are you sure to navigate away?" question..) when i click "ok" nothing happens. I have win 7 and IE 8.0.7601.17514

Attempted to answer some questions as well, same bug as JSOP described.
Using IE8 on XP  (sorry work computer, not my choice)
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Yes it seems like it is fixed.

Every post in Q&A now shows up bold.

|

Yes - I turned off read-tracking as part of the continuing experiments to improve page speed.
Some re-jigging and caching with anger will bring it back.

The language selector drop down on the code block button in Q&A. Will it find its way to the forums as well?
BTW what happened to the inline code button

Yes. It would be fine(to highlight) for things like function names, control names, event names, etc., in the blah blah question content(Other than Code block).
Example question
I have a view named as vwEnquiry in which i have two column
1- strBranchCode varchar(10)and
2- datEnquiry datetime i want to generate a auto generated code
which has format like
strBranchCode+year+month+1,
strBranchCode+year+month+2,
strBranchCode+year+month+3, etc.,
where the year and the month will be extract from datEnquiry

My questions should be been: is it being used? Will it be missed? My concern that that "inline code" gets confused with "code block" and so we have <code> being used where <pre> is more appropriate. Maybe change "inline code" back to "var"
Ultimately I need to improve the code sniffer so that this is all a moot point.

Yes, almost half of the people are used that. Will miss that.

That's fine. or you can use another term like highlight keywords or something. No var is fine.
