Something that has been annoying me for some time is that the dropdowns drop down immediately rather than waiting for me to "hover". The most frequent offender is the code drop down, but there are others.
(Win7, IE8)

I wouldn't say it annoys me exactly, but it can be intrusive. It might be better if there was a half second or so delay to let you pass over the menu first.

I get the error message "There was an internal error creating the item." when I try to edit this question auto generate wizard steps[^]. All I do is removing the pre tags and press "Update question".
I'm using IE9

I completed a site update about 45 mins ago and just tried editing the question - worked fine for me, so it may have been the update that was killing it. I'm not seeing any errors in the logs since then.

I tested using your account, so please don't be alarmed at the other question that you evidently edited in your sleep...

I was just trying to search QA comments for a comment I posted about the glass being half empty/full and didn't get any results. I would think performing a "search within" "quick answers" would also search the comments.

We don't index comments at all at the moment. It's on the TODO.

On the home page, under some of the tabs, the most recent posts show up dated "1 Jan 00" instead of the proper date.

3 times today, the reply comments I've made to comments on some of my solutions in the Q&A did not get added.
0) I click Reply to a comment
1) then write something
2) click submit
3) The text box dissapears as always however my reply does not appear not even after Ctrl+F5
4) when I try again the then my reply is being added.
I'm not able to reproduce this bug, it just seems to happen sometimes.
I'm using IE8, normally I use IE9 and I've not noticed this bug before so maybe it's just a IE8 issue.
The below question are where I ran into the issue.
EntiryFramwork CodeFirst with GridView[^]
Tell me C++ code for this[^]

Was there an error message displayed?

No thing at all, the "post comment area" jsut dissapeared like it normally do, but the comment didn't appear didn't page refresh didn't help either.
I know it's not much to go. And I'm back on IE9 now so I'm hoping it's just IE8 playing tricks on me.

It appears to me that if I set 'allow to respond by e-mail' enabled on a post on one of the discussion forums, like C#: that permission is then applied globally: so, I am now getting e-mail notifications of even responses to comments on Q/A questions ... which I don't want.
Is there a way to make 'allow to respond by e-mail' specific to only certain responses, or certain forums ?
Or maybe I'm missing the big picture here, as usual.
thanks, Bill

While I agree it should be up to you whether or not you want notification emails. I also believe that once you engage in/answer a question you should be open to answer enguiries the inquirer might have to your solution, which might be a bit hard if you're not notified of comments posted to your solution.
I would actually love to be notified when a question, which I've answered or posted a comment on, gets updated. Sometimes a question is not clear and I tell the inquierer so, but I don't get notified when they update the question, unless they write a reply to my comment, which many inqueriers doesn't do.

Simon,
Your response assumes that I do not check, frequently, to see the current state of Q/A questions that I have commented on, or presented a solution for.
You might examine that assumption 
By the way, my congratulations for the many excellent answers, and comments, you are posting on the Q/A forums !
best, Bill

I'm sorry Bill, it wasn't my intension to say you didn't follow up on your answers/comments. I were just pointing it out as important part, in my opinion, as I've seen a few who are not very good at it.

Absolutely not.
I'll add this to the TODO list.

A user has gone and posted an authors potential email address in a question to the author, which is a no no for obvious reasons.
I think it would be wise to edit the post to the remove the email address. (its an old message)

That user had clearly stepped over the bounds of politeness.

I was looking at one of the new articles, and noticed in the user bio that they mentioned they had a couple of competition wins.
Clicking on the users profile name to take me there, sure enough the 2 competition results are listed. However, it still doesn't say what they are or provide links to them.
Next was to visit the users article list. There is nothing to suggest which articles won the competitions. They only way to find out I can see, is to visit each article and look for the Winning Medal at the top, or remember which competitions won, and scan each articles date. Not very usable.
So, suggestions;
1) In the biography, competition winning list, link through to the winning article
2) In the users Article List, flag the articles that have won a competition, maybe the medal icon next to article title
This is the article where I started, and if you follow what is written above, you can see what I mean. Lotto Game[^]
