Going back to var should help things. The drop-down was, as others have pointed out, first suggested by DaveAuld.
Further shout outs:
The editor for posting forum messages is now the same as that used in Questions and Answers. The neat bit about that is the code-sniffer that Luc Pattyn supplied. If you have "wrap in a PRE if code detected" checked, then when you post something it will try and guess as to whether it's code and, if so, wrap in PRE blocks with the appropriate language tag.
I'm also hoping the wording of the paste options is clearer, and, based on Luc's bug tracking, the posting itself now works as it should, based on the options you choose.
And finally: I can thank you for helping out with the Chrome message connectors bug that, if you're reading this in Chrome, is fixed.

You're welcome - I noticed they were back about an hour ago.
I'm not expecting any problems this time, but I'll let you know if anything crops up.
Again, a big well done!

Either I am hallucinating or it is a bug. I have never selected option to show profile popups but still I see them. Is there something wrong with me or with the code (read hamsters) that run this site?

"General options: Show member profile popups?" is checked in your profile (Go to Forums).
Blame the hamsters or the beer if it wasn't you.

Well it's so easy to just change your display-name and email to something randomly generated. It's not as if you have any posting history here.

I know we all need unique names to create an account, but sometimes the Real Name (tm) is taken and we're left with options like putting numbers on the end to differentiate. Any chance of having a Real Name field in the profile, and if it's set display that instead of the User Name? Or maybe with the User Name in brackets?
That way, those of us unable to call ourselves our Real Name can still be display it proudly rather than hiding behind an alias or feeling like 2nd rate netizens with numbers after our name!
Whaddyathink?

I am not a number![^], that's what I think. Also see my profile pic.

How can you guarantee that a user uses real name?

Keep your name in your signature?

The issue is one of spoofing. Someone can come along, name themselves after your kind, brave self, and then go around being a total idiot. A member's professional profile on CodeProject should be protected.

Chris, what he is talking about seems to be a 2nd optional field to give a real name. Say another Chris Maunder joins CP. His primary display name may be something like Chris Maunder2, but he can then add the optional field with Chris Maunder.

Yup, this is what I was trying to get at. Similar to Google Plus (first example that came to mind), it shows the Real Name and several people can have the same name.
Obviously everything's open to abuse (I could impersonate someone I'm not) - maybe a way to combat this would be to put the user's login name next to it / on a tooltip, or put the user's reputation (or an icon representing reputation) or 'member since ... ' in brackets.
eg
Chris Maunder ( ) - tooltip would show 'member since 2000'.
(pretend the smiley's a gold star or something!
And if someone's found to be trying to impersonate someone else, ban their account?
Not trying to create lots of extra work for the site admins, just thought it would be something beneficial for those of us unable to use our Real Name because someone else has claimed the account!

Yeah not everyone has unique names like Nish Sivakumar or Chris Maunder. So this will be a very handy feature

How about alerting a member that he has been mentioned in a message. It is like the one which seen in facebook and all. It would be a greater ( to my opinion) tool if someone wants to ping some to see the message or thread.

How would you suggest that is implemented.
If I said "POH" then people know who I mean, Pete O'Hanlon.
If I said "The Drunken Ocker" it would indicate Michael Martin.
#1 is Chris Maunder.
I am refered to as DD.
There are names, nicknames and insults that refer to people.

I have seen same functionality in facebook , while we mention others in message we gets an alert through mail.
In CP ,let the user gets alerted if the user's profile url is mentioned as a hyperlink in the message!
