I inadvertently submitted a question (default icon) as answer so I edited it and still received points for an answer.

icon changes don't affect rep points, that bug has been present since the rep system got launched.

I've been trying to post an answer to this question: how can send data to the email address[^] for half an hour or so, but just get "Oops! There was an unexpected problem adding your answer. Please try again later."
Think I've had it on Web01, Web02 and Web04 - but I wouldn't swear to it.

A certain very large calculation was going on around that time. It's an annual calculation that should make you (hopefully) proud of your not-insubstantial efforts.

You sure? I checked the list[^] very carefully, and I'm not on it. *AGAIN*

I nearly did, but decided that would be too obvious.

I'm not sure this was what was supposed to happen:

No, that is a correct response. The system analyses all your site contributions and has determined you are not worthy.
yes, you know I'm joking!

The issue is that, after clicking the "apply to join" button, we're not providing any feedback that you've applied. However, if you try applying again, then we show a completely useless error saying your application failed. It failed because you'd already applied.
Added to the list.

Hi,
While answering this question:
Need help on printf function[^]
All hell broke loose with the javascript editor... it was actually modifying my c++ code... it changed the line:
vector<unsigned char> v;
into:
vector<unsigned char = ""> v;
Then it added some wierd tag... </unsigned>
Thanks,
-David Delaune

This is a known bug where the editor closes open tags on occassion.
You effectively opened a tag <unsigned>.
You need to ensure you use > and < to encode the <>.
|
|

|

Well,
As a user of the website... basically I just want it to work. If it does not work then it is obviously broken and I will report it. I am certainly not an expert with HTML/Javascript but the site should probably avoid using Tags or META Tags that are the same as C#,C++ and VB language keywords[^].
Best Wishes,
-David Delaune

Me too, I wasn't saying it won't be addressed, all I was doing was confirming that your bug is known about and on the hamsters list of things to fix

I have a feeling... that it is a very very long list. Perhaps even be longer than Santa's naughty and nice list.

It's not buggy - it just doesn't work as you expect.
By default the editor accepts HTML, so if you type in "vector<unsigned char> v;" then it thinks the < is the start of a HTML tag and processes it as if it were HTML: namely, it tries to ensure it's well formed HTML (hence the weird closing tag), then colourises anything it needs to colourise, then hands it back to the browser for rendering. The browser has no idea what a "unsigned char" tag is so does the correct thing (according to it) and ignores it.
If you had placed the code in a PRE block then our pre-processor / HTML Tidy-up code will auto-encode the < entity and so you would get
vector<unsigned char> v;
When pasting text we sniff what you've pasted and try to guess what's in the text. If we think we see code we'll wrap it in a PRE block (so you get the auto-encode) otherwise we leave it. In either case the Paste Preview window pops up showing you exactly what your pasted text will look like when rendered based on how you choose to paste the text.
You can disable the HTML processing by checking the "Treat my content as plain text, not as HTML" checkbox just below the message preview.
Our options in all of this are:
1. Don't accept HTML at all.
Not a great option because we like being able to have formatted text, and we like being able to wrap code in PRE blocks and have it colourised.
2. Make the editor even smarter.
I'm open to suggestions. The most obvious improvement is that we specifically check all <tag> blocks to see if it is a true HTML tag, and if not, encode the entities. However, this will totally fail for any HTML code posted.
3. Switch to MarkDown.
While this would help with some things, but not others. You still have to indent your code, for instance, 4 spaces to have it formatted correctly, as opposed to wrapping in a PRE or CODE block.
4. Switch to a pure WYSIWYG editor
We tried this. Everyone hated it. WYSIWYG editors depend on the underlying browser editor, and they are all different, and they are all painful to use and to bend into shape to make them usable.
I'm open for further suggestions on how to make this more intuitive.
