It appears that all new members of CodeProject are in the USA, according to their home pages. Is there something preventing them selecting their home country when they create a new account?

Looking at the accounts opened today (9th of May) there are several that did changed the country - so it seems to be possible...
Looking at the others - most of them seems like generated by some code, not human made. That may explain why the country is the default...

Why is Bob in Valentines disguise?

9-May-21 2:10

I was referring to all the new accounts created to post in QA. I assume it is just laziness (like some of the questions) but there may have been some other reason.

C++

// The following loop blah blah blah...
//
while(true)  // See? The root cause seems to be that the last endline was ignored.
{
   do_work();
}

It wasn't like this before, and I'll have a pile of editing to do if it isn't fixed.

Strange ... but confirmed, and only for "specifically named" C and C++ comments:

// The following loop blah blah blah...
//
while(true)  // See? The root cause seems to be that the last endline was ignored.
{
   do_work();
}

// The following loop blah blah blah...
//
while(true)  // See? The root cause seems to be that the last endline was ignored.
{
   do_work();
}

C++

// The following loop blah blah blah...
//
while(true)  // See? The root cause seems to be that the last endline was ignored.
{
   do_work();
}

// The following loop blah blah blah...
//
while(true)  // See? The root cause seems to be that the last endline was ignored.
{
   do_work();
}

Java

// The following loop blah blah blah...
//
while(true)  // See? The root cause seems to be that the last endline was ignored.
{
   do_work();
}

By "specifically named", do you mean that only the C/C++ examples are broken? I'm surprised that the first one is colorized at all, given that it doesn't specify a language.

If you don't specify anything, it tried to work it out for you - and mostly does a pretty good job.
But only the C / C++ ones gave a comment problem.

Chris is looking into this. He thinks it has something to do with the comment continuation character support he added to c/c++.

I didn't even realize there was such a thing.

I wasn't sure what you meant, but it looks like a backslash at the end of a line continues a comment. This makes sense insofar as it escapes the endline character, but I still think it's silly.

One thing I learned when writing specifications. Make one or two silly, easy to fix, mistakes or requirements. The reviewers need to find something to justify their existence, so make both your lives easier.

Strange Copy Code problem in QA - solved

Re: Strange Copy Code problem in QA

25-Apr-21 23:42

I added Solution 3 to the question at Performing arithmetic operations with textbox values[^]. But now, when I click the Copy Code button in my solution it picks up random code from elsewhere in the entry, e.g.

On Button click, divide the value of textbox1 with the sum of the values of TesxtBox2, TextBox3, and TextBox4, then multiply the result with the value of TextBox5. Show the final result in textBox6. I have tried manipulating the below code, but doesn't seem to get. Would appreciate any valuable assistance

Which is from the question.

[edit]
I restarted Chrome and it is working now.

This was using Chrome, and it happened at least five times for me. I just restarted Chrome and it appears to be OK.

Font used to display code

Unfortunately, this fixed itself before I could track down the issue.

I'll keep a lookout for this should it happen again.

Hi all

Is there a way to change the font CP uses to display code snippets in articles?

My new tablet is currently showing code in Courier New and I always code in a non serif font.
