Re: Voting to move forum messages BillWoodruff8-Oct-13 12:10 BillWoodruff 8-Oct-13 12:10  Hi ProgramFox, I have been "advocating" the idea that CP members with a certain Rep rank (as Authority ?) could move specific types of questions from such language specific forums as "C#" to the QA forums for some time now. While believing that would be a "good thing," I am also aware that empowering certain users with such a privilege could generate its own set of problems. There's been a lot of discussion about forum "identity" issues on this forum. I believe that Chris, and the CP staff, are thinking hard about the future organization of the forums; one long-term CP member commented Chris was considering having only one type of forum. If there were to be only one type of forum, my preference would be to have all forums have the facilities now found in QA forums ... facilities for commenting, voting, OP selecting the response they think most useful, etc. The only thing I am certain of is that CP will evolve, and I trust Chris and CP staff to, moving slowly and prudently, address forum identity issues in a way best for all 10 million+ of "us." bill Google CEO, Erich Schmidt: "I keep asking for a product called Serendipity.

One thing still slightly askance is the line continuation phenomenon leaves the text "Rate:" on the previous line while the stars are now somewhat awkwardly in the center of the next line; all in all making a normal header space on the page fat. Re: Ratings control displaying "1:e 2:e 3:e 4:e 5:e" and input "reason" textbox without any mouseover in IE8.0.7601.17514 Chris Maunder7-Oct-13 14:25 Chris Maunder 7-Oct-13 14:25  I'm assuming IE8, right? Can I ask, with all respect, why you're using IE8? We're *this* close to halting all support for IE8 and below but I know there are still plenty of users and I really would like to know why. Chrome and Firefox both work on XP SP2 and they are far, far superior to IE8. Again: not judging, just puzzled. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: Ratings control displaying "1:e 2:e 3:e 4:e 5:e" and input "reason" textbox without any mouseover in IE8.0.7601.17514 RedDk7-Oct-13 19:38 RedDk 7-Oct-13 19:38  IE8 works. Upgrading involves running the gauntlet of new features. Just not worth the aggrevation. I did upgrade once, as I recall, and I couldn't disable ClearType, or some other glaring disfunction made me instantly uninstall it. If I try again, it'll be for just this reason ... the dreaded double asterix! And I'll surely be sad for days after the capitulation ...

It is normalized for the generic user, not for "power users"/developers! (Still on IE8 ) How do I upload the source for a quick answer.

If it's good enough for an answer, though, why not create a Tip/Trick that refers to the original article and link to that?

Text wrapping in QA questions OriginalGriff1-Oct-13 0:13 OriginalGriff 1-Oct-13 0:13  Does not work quite right. I tend to work with Chrome on my portrait monitor, rather than my landscape one, and if you look at the two images below you will see the right hand side bar covers some of the question subject if it is too long. http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/Uploads/6122202/Landscape.jpg[^] http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/Uploads/6122202/Portrait.jpg[^] It's not a major difference - but it does look weird!

Re: Text wrapping in QA questions Richard Deeming1-Oct-13 2:02 Richard Deeming 1-Oct-13 2:02  Ah, looks like Chrome has a problem wrapping the title of this question[^].

However, every week I get many more articles in the newsletter that are not related to the topics I selected. For example, this week I got articles about Ajax, HTML, Java and several others that I did not select in my settings. This is my Topics filter as it appears in my settings: C#1.0, C#2.0, C#3.0, C++, C++/CLI, C#, Windows, .NET, Win32, Win64, Visual-Studio, MSIL, UML, WCF, WPF, LINQ, C#4.0 Re: Newsletter topics filter does not work Chris Maunder1-Oct-13 2:31 Chris Maunder 1-Oct-13 2:31  The filter is inclusive, meaning that if an article has *any* of the tags you've specified then it will be shown. "Windows", for example, casts a very broad net. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: Newsletter topics filter does not work tidhar1-Oct-13 2:41 tidhar 1-Oct-13 2:41  I checked one of the articles that was in the newsletter and NONE of the tags it specified matched my filter. This article Screen scraping using YQL and AJAX[^] was included and the tags it lists are: ASP.NET, Javascript, HTML, Dev, Ajax, none of which are in my filter. If I mark "Windows" and it also gives me Java or Ajax or whatever, than these tags should be shown as nested under "Windows" (or whatever tag they really are nested under). Bottom line, I think there is some problem in the filtering. Either there is a bug and unrelated articles are included, or the Filter Settings are not clear enough.
