Which browser? On pasting it's meant (and does for me) show the paste options to the right (and outside of) the text window. Having it popup and cover the text was annoying me.
Try Ctrl-F5. It could be a cached stylesheet issue

Sorry, should have thought of that: Chrome 16.0.912.77
Yes, it was annoying over the text, but now it's gone completely.
I just tried it with IE 9.0.8112.16421 and it didn't show either - just HTML encoded without adding the pre/xml tags. It shows here: Over the top of the Smileys - which makes me think that may be the problem. Q&A doesn't have the Smiley box...
(And why the f'in heck can't you copy-n-paste the version from the IE about box?  Not your problem, just another MS stupid move)

All of this has happened before, and it will all happen again. That is, there is no forum at the bottom of the article, yet the header for the forum is there.

Pay no attention to the article behind the curtain. I was certain it was always in composing status ...

First, I don't even want a reply from management on this one, just think about it before you rule it out, that is all I ask.
I think it might be a good idea to eventually give the members here an option to change the default color theme for their view of the site...like Gmail. We all know color affects us psychologically, and well, orange and green aren't exactly mood elevating colors...I know the orange/green is traditional and change can be a hard thing to embrace sometimes.
An example to prove my point is this, your buttons on the site no longer look like they are from the beginning days of website development.
...Bob can still remain green and emotionless. 
Just along for the ride.

Interesting idea. They could even have a Themes competition.

Received this email last night, although can clearly use the forums still;
Quote: Do not hit "reply" to this email
Hi ChrisElston,
Your account at %SITE_NAME% has been reported as The member is being abusive or is a troll 1 time and is now deactivated.
%SITE_NAME%
%SITE_URL%
Note: This message has been sent from an unattended email box.
Now quite apart from this being a seemingly draconian response for a single use of the word penis (I am not, generally, a big penis user, much to my own regret, although it does seem to be popping up quite regularly in the last day), something would appear to be not quite right.
Either the email should not be sent or I have not being correctly banned.

I don't think this is legit. Somebody else posted having received an email like this recently and it had come from an Australian domain. Take a look at the sender information - that should tell you what you need to know.
This[^] was the thread.

|

Looks ligit enough to me.
The headers suggest it is coming from the same place as the normal notification emails, the bits following the @ of the address it is from is the same, the servers are the same.

Yes - they are using the normal private email path - an abuse of the site?

The fact that it's leaving placeholder text like %SITE_NAME% makes it look dodgy to me. Well, that and the fact that you are obviously still active, which would not be as suggested by the email.
|
|
|
|
|
It's either dodgy or wrong.
Either way I thought it worth raising over here.
If no-one cares then get rid of the post by all means.
It matters to me not one jot, I can still post, if I could not then I might do some work instead.

I should hope that CP staff do care. It seems as that somebody is impersonating them here, and I'd guess they'd want to know that.
Plus, if others get the same message, at least the team can investigate it.

As much as I'd love to point the finger somewhere else, this was my fault in 2 ways.
1. I hit "Vote as Abuse" instead of voting you a 1. When a message gets reported for abuse, the poster of that message gets reported too. As an admin I don't have to wait for 4 others to vote a member as abusive before their account is closed - a single hit will do it. Because of this, my slip of the mouse nuked your account, which I then quickly restored. The points you lost will be recovered in the next few days as part of the rep recalculation we're running.
2. Our email template was busted. We fixed it. We tested it. We deployed it. For some reason it's still busted and so I've asked Elina to fix this first thing this morning. [Edit: fixed]
