Alternate can be used in the form "constituting an alternative: The alternate route is more scenic.", so an "Alternate tip" would be correct in this context. However, you are correct: we should not have a collection of alternate tips, we should have a collection of alternative tips.

Ok all but mike45art have been appropriately dealt with.
Mike somehow survived with only 4 hits to the head.
I've seen this quite often recently that the longer the list gets the less consequently the executions are followed through.
Like on this list I started and seemed to always deal the 3rd blow until about one third into the list when it became only the second. Some of our members eihter loose track in these long spammer lists or they loose intereset.
Let's see if this trend continues.
Cheers and good hunting!

It could be that you were quicker than somebody who started just before you and thus you overtook them.

I didn't think of that!
Could be the explanation. Either I am quicker or on a speedier line.
Thanks & Cheers!

Recent changes have caused 1) the page to bounce up, then down, every time I click on a message and 2) when responding to a message, the textbox is no longer in focus by default, and I have to actually click on it to start typing. Both are new, repeatable on two different machine (XP and W7), and I've got IE8 on both. Both "features" (I'm trying to suck up to Microsoft here) are extremely annoying, and the hamsters responsible need to be fed - feet first - to hungry but terribly farsighted rabid beavers in front of their peers. Sober.

I love that thought - a site devoted to Microsoft development that doesn't support Microsoft products. Schweet!

Not trivial.
Too many times typing away in a reply, only to look up and see the reply has been cut off in the middle of the fifth word.
The focus is being stolen by the advertisements when they (finally) load.
Why adverts even have a tab stop, I don't know.

The focus is being removed by the resizing control at the bottom of the text area. I made a fix for Sensible Browsers, but IE8 and below are still to be tackled.

Huh. Never even noticed it was there. Guess it's just the timing of thing, since it doesn't appear until the adverts do (or close enough to be simultaneously).

Hmmmppphh!
Well that's a fine Howdeedoo. How did you manage to force my system to download and install IE9 last night? This morning when I woke, I found IE9 had installed overnight without my permission!

Hans was reporting issue #1 in FF and I tried everything I could to replicate it. I'm stumped. In the end I simply disabled it for FF

The switch to IE9 seems to have solved both, so we'll just not mention your sneaky installation of it on my machine.

I've turned off smooth scrolling for IE8--.
The auto-focus thing is next on the agenda.

I was searching through latest updates, trying to look at only C/C++ (all flavors) related tags and somehow the first thing that pops up is this alternate tip (to a SQL post):
The Evil That is "Select *"[^]
This sort of leads me to believe that alternate solutions are not associated with the tags of the original post.

This is the same issue as here[^]. We currently have the attribute filtering disabled for the Latest articles. I'll amend the UI when this happens.

We don't allow it at the moment but we're planning on opening it up soon.
We're all still a little gun shy after the early days when we had it open and the spammers and, er, abusers, latched on. Rep limits now allow us to work around that issue now.

I can see how that feature could easily lead to abuse... but the rep point system here is great monitoring who's an actual community participant...
