Odd effect on home page - weekly poll is now part of the moderation queue

21-Jun-16 2:11

MathJax support was never added to Quick Answers. I've added it, and will deploy later today.

(ie. nothing you did wrong: it was our end that was the problem)

I assume you are on a tablet / phone?
I have the same problem on my tablet today - but if yours is Android you can access the "whole page" via the Three Dots Button, then "request desktop site".
Can you post what Browser Check[^] says to help them? (Mine is unchanged, Chris - but shows the same problem)

It was on a IE11 on a laptop. Funny though, when I access it from my desktop PC, also IE11, it works fine??? Confused | :confused:

Also, just checked under latest Chrome and it is fine...

Maybe it's been fixed already? I'll power up the laptop later and check it again. Thanks! Smile | :)

Could you add categories for Azure SQL Database and SQL Server 2016

Typo or a mismatch?

The new contest that started recently has a mismatch in the URLs. (Or was that intended?)

Internet of Things Article Challenge[^] (From the home page)
Internet of Things Article Challenge[^] (From Featured Competitions page)

The URL mismatch may be (or I think should be) fixed for future, and I suggest the URL from Feature Competitions should be kept. Also, if this is something usual that CodeProject does (as in case of showing on home page only), then leave this report.

Are there any plans to ad them in the near future?

When posting an article you can add whatever tags you wish.

The sections are for the general topic of your article, and the tags for the specific language, platform and technology used.

This is where I just want to go back to MFC applications.

The Nexus is a phone. Except it's as big as a tablet. We modify what we send to phones in order to cater to slower processors, less RAM, less bandwidth, and because we simply won't be showing as much. Your device is a phone - and our system will treat it as such - but it's really a tablet when it comes to display.

I'm loathe to remove our "mobile rendering" mode because there's still lots of folks who appreciate being sent less HTML. I'm scared to add display-mode persistence because it'll mean lots of people stuck on "mobile view" (or whatever) and getting a crappy experience. Regardless, I'll add this as a TODO and cross my fingers. It could take a while to get this done unfortunately (pipeline kinda full this month)

I know what you mean, but how about three options:

1) Depends on device (default)
2) Always desktop
3) Always mobile

That way, nobody's experience is degraded unless they specifically say "I want this" - and only people who have a problem will bother to change it.
