I posted this (article upload bug) a while back and you said it was fixed, but I just ran into the same issue again.

I'll add it to the TODO. Again.

Greeting. My first post in this website.
I register an account in order to post a question to C# forum. I am greeted with a confirmation of my email address request. I then go to my email box to confirm.
The URL stated in the email from your website does not work! No matter whether I click on "reconfirm your email here" or copy and paste the URL in the address bar, I get the following:
This page has been called incorrectly. Please recheck the address you clicked on and, if necessary, cut and paste it into your browser's address bar
Please fix. Thanks.

Can you please forward me the email you received? I'll dig in and see what's happening.

Chris,
Thanks a lot! It is working now.
As a person who do programming a lot, I would love to hear the story about why it does not work. If you don't mind sharing, the technical detail may help other people.

You just want to embarrass me, right?
The short version is that we were packing together data in binary form, and then sending it to a service to complete the steps to confirm your address. However, the receiver was assuming a fixed sized packet and because one of the pieces of info in the struct being sent was your member ID, all member IDs above 2^23 (8,388,608) were causing an overflow.
That particular piece of code was written about (in essence) 10 years ago. I guess I just wasn't dreaming big enough back then

That's the juiciest coding horror I've seen in a while!

Hi,
Yesterday i was looking at one article for approving it and gave my opinion for the same. After that it was shown that there are a total of 5 reports for the article.
Today i was able to give my opinion for that article again and this time i was shown a total of only 1 report for that particular article.
I think this shouldn't be the usual behaviour.
Since i wasn't allowed to vote again on the first day, the same should happen the next day as well. I shouldn't have been allowed to vote.

It may have been that the article was made available and then sent back to "Pending", or was deleted and then reposted. Either of these situations will result in the article losing all votes and comments.

Can you please add the editor for questions and answers to the "add comment" so comments get the same love.

I think comments are just comments. If you want to get pretty then post an answer/solution. I think it becomes more than a comment if you add bells and whistles.
Just along for the ride.

Comments should allow minor formatting, but definitely not the full fledged content editor. It's overkill.
If the issue is that entities need to be intelligently encoded then let's solve that issue instead of introducing complexity.

I would like to be able to do things like place links, and put code in my comments, and I,m afraid my knowledge of HTML is dangerous. It would be preferable for me to be able to select link from a menu to place a link rather than me trying to fathom this HTMl stuff. A lot of people rely on CP, and me playing around with HTML could bring things crashing to a screaming halt in no time.

One of the main points of Quick Answers is to arrive at a good answer. If you find yourself needing to provide links or code, then I would guess that the best place to do this is in an actual answer - either a new one or by improving a current answer, or in the case of clarification to a question, by updating the question itself.

You're probably right. It is just that I have in the past had to do this to clarify an answer, most often when replying to an OP's comment which he left on my answer. Nowadays, I just add to my original answer and then post a comment to tell the OP to recheck my answer, rather than play around.

I would ask: why have any formatting capability at all in comments on QA questions or answers.
imho, make comments "raw text."
That way you can type List<SomeType> and not have the hassle of typing ampersand-comparator-semicolon.
However, I would like to see the ability to vote on comments: some are so outstanding that it is frustrating to me to not be able to acknowledge their excellence except through another comment. And to throw a "monkey wrench" in: I would like to see the OP not be able to vote on comments. Do I need to say, again, that I love to think of work for other people to do ?
best, Bill

I second the plain text, a good idea.

err.. weren't you the one who asked for the editor in the first place. Now you want plain text ??
