In fact I noticed both phenomena early on, but since you would be the main victim here, I left you the privilege to report them. Laugh | :laugh:

BTW: A similar tab-control-returns-to-tabpage-zero phenomenon occurs on the home page, when looking at the latest blogs or tips, or the ones needing approval.

Smile | :)

A bug that only annoys JSOP. I think I can hear Chris laughing from here.

You are wise beyond your years, young Jedi...

However, if you were REALLY worried, I would have a LOT more reputation points than I do right now, wouldn't I. Smile | :)

Weird, where'd that sudden spike of 100,000 reputation points on your profile come from? Maybe I should report that as a *bang* Dead | X|

No, it doesn't.

Working with Paste handlers in Webkit has been problematic. However, I'll have another crack at it and see if anything has changed since I last attempted it.

I'm very new to this forum/community. I'm really impressed with this forum. I have a suggestion to make.

In the Discussion Forums under "Question & Answer -> Programming Discussion". The question and the relative replies are listed.
Each replies should be displayed in alternating grid background should be really helpful. Because, when we view this discussion forum in a High resolution laptop monitors we are unable to see when is the post was posted and/ replied. Often, the date was mistaken either with the question post or with the next question/reply's date, due to the fact the question and the timestamp information are separated with long distance ends(question is at left most corner. The Time stamp information is at right most corner). It would be really helpful to have alternating grid background and/or while hovering on a question or a reply the row of the grid should get highlighted.

I know this forum has many far more important features/tasks in queue. But, I felt this would be really helpful. Let me know if you want some more details.

IMO the author's name, the post time, the revision information, in fact all the metadata (amounting to 2 lines) that now sits under the Question/Answer/Tip/Alternate should be above the actual content, just as it is in forum messages and articles; that would make reading them easier. One shouldn't have to scroll down to go look for the metadata. The current rating also belongs on top (it is), whereas the voting tool itself belongs at the bottom (one only needs it after having read all of it).

When laid out like that, there would be no need for alternating background colors.

Smile | :)

You mentioned a case, that is applicable for expanded questions or replies alone., When in the case of no group being expanded is my question. I should have framed the question more clearly. My apologies.

Thanks for the faster update.

QA voting weirdness

Take a look at this question:
http://www.codeproject.com/Answers/112116/getting-an-error-in-executing-the-sql-query.aspx?cmt=17455#answer2[^]

Specifically at the answers votes and comments.
The comments say: 'Reason for my vote of 5
Automatic vote of 5 for accepting answer.'

Which would suggest there to be a 5 vote on the answer yet the vote indicator display's a 3 with only 1 vote on it.
Seems like something wrong there.

(Is so for both answers)

One more instance of what I(others too) said earlier. It's way too confusing.
Above link is of an answer that is marked as accepted but has only 1 vote that too 1/5! Weird Sigh | :sigh:

Gaming QA And Killing The Servers

This question was posted an hour ago and already shows 16,000 views. One of the times I tried to view it, I got this error message:

Error Message said:
Error: Transaction (Process ID 114) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.. Ticket: . Server: Web19

Perhaps somebody is trying to artificially increase the view count and increasing load on your servers in the process?

I was about to report the same... 20k+ and counting. I'm guessing one of us locking it for edit isn't going to help.
Hope the hamsters are awake now!

Perhaps this guy would know if you do. Go ahead, ask him.
