No Opera Paste Magic

I got tired of the FireFox memory leaks (all recent versions), so I switched to Opera (V11.60).
And now the CP linkifier does not work at all: pasting a URL in a forum message does not perform any magic at all.

In fact, all paste magic seems absent; on the positive side, the rather annoying "Paste as text, code block, HTML text, ..." stuff does not show either.

My new posts won't have many links...

Frown | :(

No, I don't like it much. Not sure why exactly. Google spying on its users all the time sure is a factor.

Fed up by FireFox memory leaks I switched to Opera and now CP doesn't perform its paste magic, so links will not be offered. Sorry.

I spent a fair bit of time trying to get Opera working then gave up. It's quirks got the better of me within the time I could justify spending on a browser used by so relatively few.

I loved the idea of a browser to keep the others honest, but if they could just pick an API from one of the popular browsers instead of adding more if/then's to the world then the rest of the world could support them a little easier.

Using an IF/THEN statement to express how you don't want more IF/THEN statements Laugh | :laugh:

Re: Tags: Association count is incorrect

I'm trying to clean the Tags list up a bit and I noticed that the question association count for the tags is not correct, as far as I can tell.

i.e. the useless tag "2007" has a count of "1" however, I believe it is used in 4 or 5 questions. I don't want to delete tags that are associated to questions but it is hard to tell from just the association count.

Hope I mad some sense here.

Thanks.

It turns out that a script we had running to keep these updated wasn't running. It's now running. Once run, it should be good.

This blog post - .NET Code Conversion[^]
You can see the below section on top of that blog post.

A Technical Blog article.View entire blog here.[^]

Here the Blog post URL is wrong(Its showing feed URL). The right URL is http://thatraja.blogspot.com/2012/01/net-code-conversion.html[^]
How to change that?

No don't.

I checked more than couple of CP technical blogs & all are fine but except Kunal Chowdhury[^]'s, all of his blog posts showing the Feed URLs(http://www.kunal-chowdhury.com/feeds/posts/default[^]) instead of particular blog post Url. Ex. Monthly Summary - December 2011[^]

Others blog posts showing write URLs. Ex. Pete O'Hanlon[^]'s. And example blog post This is me kissing MVPship goodbye forever[^](It shows right URL http://peteohanlon.wordpress.com/2011/03/05/this-is-me-kissing-mvpship-goodbye-forever/[^])

Don't know what to do? Is there any option to change the URL on top of the blog post?

I've dug. What I found was that you have specified "http://feeds.feedburner.com/thatraja" as your blog's RSS feed, when in fact you should specify "http://feeds.feedburner.com/thatraja?format=xml". I've updated your feed URL and you should (hopefully) see changes next blog entry.

Hi Chris,

I did the same steps as you mentioned and now my blog feed in CP is: http://feeds.feedburner.com/kunal-chowdhury/CodeProject?format=xml[^] but still the issue persists.
The latest blog post Join Hint in SQL - Guest Post by Joydeep Das[^] fetched by CP Robots still pointing to: http://www.kunal-chowdhury.com/feeds/posts/default[^] instead of the actual page.

Can you please check it out and let me know the further steps?

In your XML feed, the <link> item for each entry is set as http://www.kunal-chowdhury.com/feeds/posts/default[^] instead of the individual posts' URLs.

Currently I'm working on more than couple of blog posts(near completion) & I'm going to post few within couple of days.

I was reading the article series on WPF by Sacha Barber and was confused that the link to next article in the series just loaded the article which I had just read.
Eventually I found out that links are broken due to the fact that a number is now part of the URL: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/23047/WPF-A-Beginner-s-Guide-Part-2-of-n.
Due to that 23047, the links to the other articles of the series are broken, as those articles have different numbers...
I looked at one of my articles, and detected the same problems.
Please fix that...

Can you please try Ctrl+F5 to force a non-cache refresh? Also: do you have any add-ins such as ad blockers (or similar) that may be stripping scripts or modifying the HTML you're receiving?
