Do we report them as spam or abusive 
Joke aside, I don't mind ads as they pay for the service, that's why I don't use an adblocker.
But when they get intrusive on the sites functionality I'm getting a bit cross. And in my personal opinion, any ad that needs to be closed to regain normal functionality on the site, is intrusive.

You and I both.
It looks like it's a simple z-index issue (I'm hearing more about ads pushing the limits of z-index values) so I've set our menu's z-index into the billyions.

Didn't work, I guess you need to go from billyons to zillyons.
To be in the IT business and being targeted by Comhem is also a little bit insulting. They're making Comcast look like the good guys.

Which browser? Can you try Ctrl+F5 to force a refresh of the CSS?
Those ads are random and from a third party provider (hence our desire to give you guys the chance to nuke them) so it's almost impossible for me to dig into an individual ad. It may no longer be running, or it may be geo-restricted to a certain country or it just may like guys whos name starts with "J".
If you're incredibly keen and/or bored, or maybe have a pressing deadline at work you're looking to avoid, I'd be interested in what the z-index of the ad (or iFrame containing the ad) actually is. Only if you're bored.

IE11, I haven't had that ad in Chrome yet, and I believe for sure that they are geo-restricted as it is a Swedish cable company.

Can confirm that there is no problem in chrome the 'Close ad' button works there too, it's just IE11 for me. I will only install and try it on Firefox at gunpoint.
Z-index seems to be 1001 of the divs containing the flash object. I hate the IE11 "Developer Tools".
I have cut and pasted the code inside the IFrames, including styles, to a text file that I can post you if you tell me where to. Did I tell you how much I hate the IE11 "Developer Tools"?

The z-index on the IFrame that contains the Ad is 10. All the z-indices inside of the IFrame are relative to the HTML document that contains them, this means that the dropdown menu only needs z-index of 11 or higher to overlay the Ad. The catch is that "z-index only works on positioned elements (position:absolute, position:relative, or position:fixed)", so it may be getting ignored no matter how high the z-index value is. It looks like the class="tooltip-flyout" has high z-index and is positioned, but it's children class="list-item" is not inheriting this value which may be causing them to hide behind the Ad. With that being said I was not able to reproduce the issue, not even in IE11.

It's a little disconcerting to press "Approve" and get the response "Approve or report this article: The report action was successful."
It does make you wonder if you clicked the wrong menu option by mistake!

We found the problem this afternoon and are deploying a fix tonight. Should all be fixed soon.
Apologies for the hassle.

Hi Chris,
The browse code link does not work with both articles. No change so far.

Hello
There is a bug in CodeProject's site article html editor, regarding the line feeds.
Example:
If I enter this code:
<pre lang="cs">{<br />var data = new Hashtable()<br />using (var s = 0);<br />} </pre>
Then I press twice on "HTML" button/link, the code is wrongly transformed as:
<pre lang="cs">{<br />var data = new Hashtable()<br />using (var s = 0);<br />} </pre>
Some "br" html tags are unexpectandly transformed as text, not all.
Tested on IE 11 and on FireFox 27.0.1.
Somebody has a solution ?
For now, I can not update my article (UniversalSerializer[^]).
Thank you

The article HTML editor is known as being buggy. It's recommended to write your article in Visual Studio or whatever your preferred HTML editor is and then send it (with all files included and zipped) to submit@codeproject.com

I Wonder how editors will treat an archive containing multiple images and distributable archives..
I am not sure they will want to put all in form.. especially if they use internally the same html editor/transformer as the site's one. That could lead to nervous breakdowns !
Personaly, I just lost two hours with this small line-feed problem, and I about to throw my update to the nearest dustbin and forget all this. 
Thank you for your suggestion, I will probably do that in the end (when I'm out of patience).

Maybe that needs to happen until they fix the damn editor.

Somebody suggested I should replace all br by ordinary line feeds in pre blocks.
That seems true in html. That is something I forgot completely.
Problem is neither Kompozer, Blue Griffon nor this site'editor respect this rule.
Maybe Dreamweaver does, but at what price ??? 
I am not sure I will change all my code by hand. This update will wait.. maybe for a long time.

Nothing to worry about anymore, see my email and the comment at the bottom of the freshly released article.
Again: The Editor sucks really bad, and you better use an ordinary HTML editor the next time you try to update your article - Code blocks are a real PITA to format with the cripple.

Thank you, I replied on the article page.
This little bug will make me hesitate next time I want to update or create an article.
|

|

I told you: Download the HTML, and the send the updated HTML to submit@codeproject.com. They will need to do it by hand until they fix the cripple. Until very recently there was a bug in it which made the article you are editing vanish, in an unrevocerable way.

This seems to be a new bug. I encountered this myself on the weekend while using Firefox. I'll dig in and see what's happening.

It's gonna mess your formatting up, that's gonna happen. It seems like codeblocks can't really handle line breaks.

I can see in The Lounge that one of my posts have 4 upvotes, but I can't see the upvotes in my rep history.
I have suspected for a long time that there is a bug somewhere, but I haven't been sure until now...
