In your confirmation e-mail you have the Phishing statement half way down the page. Why not move it above the confirm button so that users will be sure to see it and read it before selecting the button. This way they will know to cut and paste the URL prior to making a choice. I almost selected the button but my senses got the better of me and I cut and pasted the URL. It was during this hesitation that the Phishing statement half way down the page caught my eye and re-affirmed why one should cut and paste URL's rather than blindly select response buttons.

That is a good idea, so that people/members will be more aware of phishing and fakes.

Something strange is going on in the article review pages. The forum at the bottom of the page is duplicated. Also, I tried to comment on this submission[^] and my comments are accepted but then disappear, and I get forwarded to the composing page which does not have a vote option.
[edit]
I can now see two versions of the same article here[^], and here[^].
Also, some comments I made earlier on a post have disappeared. Do you have a rogue hamster on the loose?

I'll second that. I noticed it last night but was browsing on my tablet and thought it may be an issue with that browser. It seemed fine yesterday afternoon.
Failure is not an option; it's the default selection.

For pending versions we create a new forum so that members can comment on the changes and editing without polluting the main discussions on the article itself. I've updated the UI to make this more clear.

The new editor seems shaky. Is it changing now continously?
Would it be possible to have a "save now" feature? Yes I know that it should have a automatic save but for peace of mind it would be nice to "force" a save
I just worked with updating my latest article. After 1 hour+ and several "preview" I decide to quit for the day and continue tomorrow. I check the "Work in progress: don't publish" and then I press "Submitt" because I assumed that meant "save" but not submit-for-review (due to checkbox)
Result: All that I wrote went away.
Now when I try it again I see a text at the top
"We respectfully ask that you please read and indicate your acceptance of the contributor's agreement. This agreement allows us to publish your article and outlines your rights and obligations."
I try it anew but this time I cannot press submitt unless the "I have read and agree to the contributor's agreement" is also checked. If I check that and try the changes are saved.
Obviously something changed with the editor while I was working on it, the behaviour is not the same (or am I just too tired?)

We had an issue with article updates not saving correctly that I'm hoping I've fixed (I've pushed out a quick release) but will continue to look at tonight.
Your "Save" button was just made by our senior dev, too, so I can add a button to trigger an auto-save.

This has always been the case.

Hah. Yeah. I thought so. Just my luck. A "perfect" mix of being overworked, tired and a bug. It sure sounds nice with the save button 
Thank you

I've done some major reworking of the Auto-save and added a "Save draft" button. I also have the page save on page unload, meaning it should always get your latest stuff if you accidentally (or otherwise) close the window.

Is the "save in-process" malfunction problem back again?
For a couple of days I have worked on the next update of an article. Today when I was going to continue all my changes are gone.
I earlier very carefully chose "work in progress: don't publish". I double checked previews and verified x-times with "save this version" and so on. I even stopped editing and went back to the article and click "update your article" just to verify that my changes were there. Apparently they were then, but not now.
All the pictures I uploaded are still there but the other article changes I worked with last night are all gone. This is very frustrating, maybe only off-line editing is the way to go?
This might be unrelated but if I now go into versions I see that for the last days where I worked on it it is edited by Smitha Vijayan.
Now to my questions. I hope you can help me out:
1. Any way for me to get back the edition I worked with yesterday?
2. Why is an editor working with my "work in progress: don't publish"?
If I "diff" the changes from the latest edit by the administrator there is no changes visible. It looks like whatever it was, was removed.
3. Why is this still happening? Human error by editor or me or is the save draft only kept for a short number of days?
Cheers,
Kjell Hedstrom

1. Which article? I'm sure we can recover something
2. I'm going to ask. I agree, "work in progress" articles should remain untouched.
3. We're not sure. We're reworking a big chunk of the code to rework the piece that handles the new versions. I don't think it's user error, I think it's our issue, and we'll fix it.

Thank you for your prompt reply Chris.
The article was: Number crunching: Why you should never, ever, EVER use linked-list in your code again[^]
I do have a small, small suspicion which might help? I do not know if this was the case but it is not impossible. Read on:
Is there an "auto save" every x-time units? Even without user interaction? What if you edit in one browser on one computer, then continue to edit on another computer, while still having the "edit" mode on the first? Will the first, old, edit auto-save and overwrite the newer edition?

The edit of a previous article (tip) is even worse.
In Chrome, formatting of code in C# sections makes completely screwed up line spacing and the block of the code is lost.
In IE, clicking the code section marks a frame or something which it seems you can move around. Of course, you can't, but at the same time you can't edit the code. If you try to paste new code, line spacing goes crazy.
I remember this as a simple and straight process, so what has happened?

Are we still getting updates from Steve from beyond the grave? Just a small language nit, but one that I had to pick.

Hi. Today I have posted a tip:
1. I first submitted the tip.
2. It was looking ok in the editor. In the previous editor of tip writing we used to see the preview under the editor. But in new editor we don't.
3. I submitted the tip without seeing the preview. Yes that was my mistake.
4. Then, I found the code block is broken.
5. Also I found suggestion about the content from one fellow.
6. So, I updated the article and fixed the code format.
Few minutes back I found the tip is published but seems it is the 1st version that is published. The new version is not yet available. Shouldn't the latest version from the writer be published when it gets published for the 1st time?
here is the link of the tip.

This seems to be a problem with the new submissions wizard - I am getting the same problem. It doesn't look like its; the first version, I think that it is the latest with the same problem.
However, I have found a workaround.
Edit your Tip, and remove all code - check the preview and make sure you have no non-text elements visible.
Go into HTML mode with the <> button on the toolbar.
Put the cursor where you want your code.
Add the pre tags manually, specifying the language yourself:
<pre lang="c#"></pre>
Then paste your code inside the block (between the > and the <)
Press the <> button again.
The display looks wrong as the syntax colourizer isn't activated, but the preview will include it.
