Messages don't get greyed in the forums where the Good/Bad voting (as opposed to 1 to 5 rating) is used.

Assuming you mean messages with good/bad voting don't get grayed out, then everything is working as it should. Other messages in those forums that use the 1-5 scale seem to be grayable.

I clicked the new thread button but decided not to key/enter anything...so this is what I get for not posting my thoughts of madness. I should have posted my diarrhea infested thought for the day and saved my point spread.

You don't lose points for aborting. You will lose points (unfortunately) if you post a message in a thread that gets nuked, since all messages will be deleted.

That explains it. Thanks Chris. I did post a message in the Lounge in a thread that was FUBAR.

Assuming the front-page featured articles change more than once a day, would it be possible to include a link to see previous entries?
It would not have to go back more than a month or so.
Thanks,

It's a random selection and not stored. Are you thinking you'd like to view a feature article that you saw and missed, or just go through a list of articles that qualify for feature status to see the creme de la creme?

Both, actually.
How often is the feature article changed?

Hmm ... in that case, skip it.
The list of recent featured articles would quickly become unwieldy.

Even still, at 5 minutes per entry, you're still looking at ~300 entries per day.
Your call (you'll be doing all the real work . But it would be great to be able see at least a subset of recent featured articles.
Thanks for your attention,
Graham

Assuming you are up here in Toronto, that pile should have shrunk considerably over the last week or so

Yeah, I was wondering if someone would cotton on to me there 
Whereabouts are you? And do you know which month the sun is meant to shine?

Toronto - Parklawn & Queensway.
The sun shone for a few hours earlier this month, used up our quota

I just tried to quote one in FF 3.6.16, and discovered that if I only selected the text inside the pre-block it didn't put the pre tags into the paste. I had to select before/after material as well and manually remove it.

2x12=24
1x12=12

You got me by surprise here. When you copy a code snippet into a source editor such as Visual Studio, you probably don't want the PRE tags at all. And that happens to be what I do most of the time, testing some code an enquirer has provided. So I'd rather not get its behavior changed.

Please use <PRE> tags for code snippets, they preserve indentation, improve readability, and make me actually look at the code.

Ummm what? 
Why would I be using the CP Quote Selected Text button to load stuff onto my clipboard to paste into Visual Studio? In FF 3.6.16 it doesn't put anything on the clipboard at all. Even if it did, why would I want any of the other markup in VS when a simple copy/paste gets completely unformatted text to paste into the editor?

2x12=24

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood (and I think so did Chris); I took it as copy-paste doesn't preserve the PRE tags, I regularly copy-paste an enquirer's code to Visual Studio.
You are right, and I had noticed it earlier, quoting (using the "Quote Selected Text") does quite some processing, including PRE removal. BTW: I've seen it do some clever things, it knows how to deal with half a PRE or CODE tag, etc.

There's clearly at least a bit more processing than that since something is rejecting any selections containing text outside the message area itself. Is detecting your own pre tag markup and bashing the pre tags back around it really too much to ask?
Edit: PS somehow while testing the above I managed to post my message only half written. Dunno if that was a code bug or a meatspace error; but I wasn't able to reproduce it.

Articles are rolling in. It's just that a lot of them kinda suck.

I don't see any points to me whatsoever. No 5, no 2. Zero!

I guess it should have been 2-2 or 2-1. 5-2 is a little to high ratio.
2 is still too high based on the way I have seen articles attachment download.
