Hello,
Not sure this is the most appropriate support for what I have to say, but when trying to post an answer, I was said an unexpected problem appeared, and I was invited to try again later.
For sure, this would have been useless.
The correct advise in this case was to sign in and refresh the page.

Did you try again? You didn't happen to record the ticket number did you?
cheers

Hello,
Well, if I say what operations were needed, this means I eventually could send the answer
The different style infers that perhaps it had to be moderated, but it was received and redisplayed as read-only text.
I did not see where to open a ticket, perhaps it would be a good idea so that the interface be clear for new users ?

The mobile phone just became completely useless for CP.

Are you usually in ThreadView when on a desktop? (I'm guessing "no" but I need to check)
cheers

I'm using the normal view.
I can add that the phone has changed back to the normal view now. I have no idea what's going on.

(1) "technologyies " -> "technologies"
(2) How is "Traditional Windows Desktop" a non-Windows platform?
(3) The survey should allow multiple choices to be selected or the survey should be reworded to say "Which most tickles your fancy?"

This week's survey has been fired and replaced with a more experienced, professional survey.
How is "Traditional Windows Desktop" a non-Windows platform?
The survey doesn't ask "which non-Windows platforms are interesting" it merely states that non-Windows platforms are now easier than ever to target. So: which technologies are nowinteresting for the VS dev?
cheers

It looks like a bug to me. This is how it can be observed: take a look at the code sample in this article:
Simple Rule-Driven Smart Formatting for HTML Textarea[^].
Find a string "\\". The problem starts from the line
word += "\\" + rules[rule].before[wordIndex][charIndex];
var a = b + c;
After the string literal, all the following code gets the same coloring as the coloring for string literals.
Let me see if the problem is manifested directly on this page…
Oh, yes, it is reproduced.
[EDIT]
This is the fragment of HTML production:
<span class="code-string">"</span><span class="code-string">\\"
Apparently, the element with code-string CSS class is opened and not closed to the end of the sample.

SA,
Using @"\" instead of "\\" will resolve the issue. I got similar issue on my article and that is how I resolved it.

Thank you, but it would make incorrect code. You cannot write such thing in JavaScript.
Even it there was a workaround, it would not be a solution. Even in C, C++ and C#, string literal "\\" should is parsed as single backslash.

My bad I thought you dealing with C#. Didn't look the entire article.

This is something I raised a while ago.
You can add:
//"
at the end of the line starting the mess.
It doesn't solve the problem inside the line itself, but at least it won't affect all the whole snippet. With it you close the string format at the end of the line without changing the execution of code for someone copying and pasting the snippet.
I know it is not clean, but it has worked for me several times. It is a tiny bypass until there is a server side solution
Edit:
If other language, then change // with the comment symbol of that language.
Many times for me = The bug is in QA as well

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Thank you very much for this information; I'll try to do it, in a pinch.
I added some comment after
It makes 1) code which compiles, 2) the comment itself is shown in comment's color, except first '//'.

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning

WTF?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I agree, I would take no action until @chris-maunder or @sean-ewington say anthing about it

If it is a bug and not some abusing, you may move this post to the right forum, to prevent kicking from the trigger-happy...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Look, this is a Problems since "I don't know when". I made the test by myself and reported also here.
It is easy. Create an acc (the time I made the test, even confirming mail was not needed), answer questions with an "non abvusive" text, delete the answer. Rep Points remains....
I can't understand why this has not been corrected until now.

You're reporting a completely different issue.
Keeping rep points after an answer was deleted was an explicit decision: you've made the effort, you get the reward, and if someone nukes your answer then...well, at least you tried. Whether or not this is the correct decision is a different discussion.
The issue at hand is for an email address that gets resuscitated. If someone has an account, closes that account, and then signs back up again we allow that, and we maintain the points associated with that account. Changing this requires a fairly gnarly change to some buried logic we've all been loathe to tackle.
cheers
