yesterday I posted an alternative (#2) to this tip/trick[^]. All went well and it showed up in my list of artciles.

Today, the TT looks the same it did yesterday (in particular, it hasn't been deleted), however it no longer appears in my articles list!?

Have you tried a dozen CTRL/F5's? and ~~removed~~/eaten all CP cookies?
Anyway, things may look better tomorrow.

sign out failure

I was unable to sign out from CP today. I had to delete some 30 cookies (beta and www) before the sign out widget worked for me. Now it works all the time.

IMO signing out should never fail (whatever the computer/cookie situation is), it is a safety operation.

PS: I am aware something similar has been posted a few days/weeks ago.

I agree. I've reworked the cookie system to be more vigilant in cleaning things up.

Preview in QA doesn't update when unchecking 'Ignore HTML in text'

Thanks.
I'm afraid you accidentally hit the main power switch too.

I just edited a question in QA, where I just added PRE tags to format the included source code, but then I noticed in the preview box that it just got typed out as <pre>(...)</pre>

Then I noticed 'Ignore HTML in text' was checked, so I unchecked it, but the preview box doesn't automatically update when doing that - you have to type/delete/move/whatever something to force a update of the box.

Not really a big deal, but still... Smile | :)

Appropriate forum?

This[^] question seems quite valid, and he's right, it's difficult to decide the appropriate location. I suggested Vista/Windows 7 but the OP noted that he is actually on XP so was concerned whether that was the right place. Should Vista/Windows 7 be renamed, or should there be another forum for straight Windows API questions?

It's time for a new signature.

Don't forget the Hindi and Chinese API fora though.

Hi Chris!

In reply to new article design, a small suggestion for your Twitter account:
can you tweet when there is a new survey/poll on the front page?
