Does that mean fixed in the same way you would a cat? In other words, castrated.

The UserID Popup Window

It's about 4 pixels to high on the screen, and covers some of the user ID. It also doesn't allow me to click anything because as soon as I move the mouse cursor onto it, it disappears.

(Using IE7)

That's because IE7 is lame and I have to bump it up a little to stop it disappearing when you mouse over it.

You sure you don't want to try using a real browser?

I have no choice when I'm at work. IE7 is on the machine, and I can't install anything else (network restrictions).

I'll live with it.

Question about tags

When I uploaded my new article, I entered 5 tags. All but one - "crash" - was accepted. Did I hit some limit, or is "crash" a no-no?

Best wishes,
Hans

Re: Question about tags

Chris Maunder1-Jul-10 15:33

1-Jul-10 15:33

We don't have the "allow new taqs" bit flipped for articles yet because we're still finalising the page that will allow everyone to edit and do magical things with tags (ie keep them organised). 'Crash' is a new tag and so was rejected.

However, clearly it makes sense that if we allow high ranking members to create new tags in Quick Answers, then we should allows them to add them to articles. I will make the change.

As to the tag page: this is on Thiru's plate and he's off for a couple of weeks recuperating from my incessant demands.

The only question you could possibly answer is why you look like you are the new frontman for Slade.

that feature has been disabled to protect you from asking silly questions there too. The one was quite enough.

Because your mother told you so!

She sewed strings onto your mitts so that you wouldn't lose them, and always cleaned the windows before you licked them!

I know this is true, I have seen Portsmouth Fans before.
