Suggestion : Copy code to clip board coolestCoder30-Dec-09 0:12 coolestCoder 30-Dec-09 0:12  Hi, Many sites give a link to quickly copy code snippets posted in messages instead of the user trying to copy the content manually. This, I think, can be a tiny feature which will help someone to test the code submitted quickly. Also, many a times users tend to miss a last word / some alphabets while trying to copy text manually. What does others think about this ?

The problem was when you report and article but don't choose a reporting reason it was failing with the wrong message. Fixed in next upload. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP modified on Tuesday, December 29, 2009 1:11 PM "Enhanced security – limit your account access to your location " in Settings page Vasudevan Deepak Kumar28-Dec-09 22:49 Vasudevan Deepak Kumar 28-Dec-09 22:49  I just observed the following 'Coming Soon' in Settings Page: Enhanced security – limit your account access to your location I just thought shouldn't it be 'increased audit trails' rather than 'limiting access'. Or something like Google Mails' remote logout (as found in its footer). With limiting account access, I believe, people-on-the-move might be greatly inconvenienced right, at least those who would be in need of moving at a 23rd hour and not getting a chance to update the profile beforehand.

Cannot post successfully with program code in my message James Shao28-Dec-09 22:16 James Shao 28-Dec-09 22:16  Hi, not sure if this is a bug, but whenver I want to contain codes like SQL in my message, I couldn't make a new post or reply properly. It would eventually direct me to a "Cannot Display This Page" error screen. But as soon as I take out the codes portion of my message, I could post without any problem. And I've tried using code block or inline code function, but problem still remains. Could you please help me know what might be the cause of this problem? Thanks. Re: Cannot post successfully with program code in my message #realJSOP29-Dec-09 0:24 #realJSOP 29-Dec-09 0:24  Did you put the "codes" into a <pre> block? .45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly ----- "Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997 ----- "The staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - J.

Re: Cannot post successfully with program code in my message #realJSOP29-Dec-09 6:53 #realJSOP 29-Dec-09 6:53  Then the site might be checking for sql statements to avoid sql injection. .45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly ----- "Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997 ----- "The staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - J.

If not, can you post the text of the message here? cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: Cannot post successfully with program code in my message James Shao29-Dec-09 12:39 James Shao 29-Dec-09 12:39  Thanks for the reply Chris. I eventually posted my message on the forum without the codes; as an alternative, I posted it on another forum and put the link back in my original message on CodeProject. My post is the one which says, "Need help with constructing one query statement". http://www.codeproject.com/Forums/1725/General-Database.aspx?fid=1725&fr=26#xx0xx This is the other forum in which my codes where posted. I know this SQL codes look complicated, but yesterday I tried posting something much simpler but cannot do it either... http://www.webmaster-talk.com/the-database-forum/194762-need-help-constructing-nested-select-query.html#post965811 Re: Cannot post successfully with program code in my message [modified] Chris Maunder29-Dec-09 14:32 Chris Maunder 29-Dec-09 14:32  James, the link you provided is a link relative to your view settings - it's not a permalink. Can you please click on the "Permalink" link at the end of your posted message and send me that? Found the message. You had posted code that included literal "&lt;" characters which our forums mistook for the start of an HTML tag. You need to ensure you have "Encode HTML tags when pasting" checked when pasting code, or you could check "Do not interpret HTML tags (good for code snippets)" and just paste the code as-is. I've fixed your message. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP modified on Tuesday, December 29, 2009 8:42 PM Re: Cannot post successfully with program code in my message James Shao29-Dec-09 17:29 James Shao 29-Dec-09 17:29  Thanks a lot Chris, you're awesome! Quick Answers does not turn bold Abhinav S28-Dec-09 21:16 Abhinav S 28-Dec-09 21:16  Within the FORUMS frame(on the left side), the 'Quick Answers' text does not become bold even though users are adding questions almost continuously. There are only 10 types of people in this world — those who understand binary, and those who don't. Re: Quick Answers does not turn bold Chris Maunder29-Dec-09 7:21 Chris Maunder 29-Dec-09 7:21  The Quick Answers link is not meant to be there and will be removed in a few minutes. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP identity theft [modified] Luc Pattyn28-Dec-09 12:06 Luc Pattyn 28-Dec-09 12:06  I stumbled upon a "Tip and Trick" with some not so fantastic code (about identifying a PC), and tried to suggest some improvements by adding a few comment lines, not actually changing anything. The net result is my name now is the only one showing anywhere near that piece of ***** and apparently there is nothing I can do about it. I strongly protest. I will never again touch a QA or TT that isn't mine until this gets completely fixed. Several bugs got identified in this little misadventure: bug1: the "T&T" should be marked "created by XYZ1, last edited by XYZ2" and obviously XYZ1 should never change. [ADDED] seems it does that already, the layout is confusing; a vertical line between the "posted" column and the "edited" column would be good; also the original author's name should be shown using a larger and bolder font.[/ADDED] bug2: on the versions page, all versions should show their author, so one can track who has touched it. bug3: a rollback does not roll back completely, all it does is forget the changes to the content; it does not undo the new version nor the associated author. bug4: I don't recall the exact title, I did not copy the URL, and as a result I don't know how I could ever reach that page again. [ADDED] Accidentally found it again here[^].

Been having too much fun on the break bug1: We'll try and improve the UI around this. You're right the author should definitely be more emphasized than the editor. bug2: Already on the todo list. bug3: The rollback simply reverts the post's content, title and tags to the respective version. The member who performed the rollback is the last editor. This way we never lose information on how the post has changed state. bug4: I'll talk this over with the team on how we could expose tips/tricks you've edited.

I'm very sorry for the mess. I've reported the problem and the possible cause. See my post below. My apologies again. Regards, Nuri Ismail Re: Time to whip the hamsters hardrer Rajesh R Subramanian28-Dec-09 2:52 Rajesh R Subramanian 28-Dec-09 2:52  Ah! I must have read that bug report of yours before I made mine. Never mind, you've probably discovered a new bug in the system and the hamsters will be crushing it anytime soon. “Follow your bliss.” – Joseph Campbell
