I responded to a c# question that was posted in French with a google translate, nothing rude or sarcastic. The OP responded with a 1 vote and I got a message etc.
However when I went to the forum the message was not posted in the thread. Did the op immediately delete it after posting or was it a private email only?
I thought you may have implemented an auto comment on a univote and voted his OP 1 to see, you can remove the univote on his original post to be fair.

We don't enforce voting reasons on Quick Answers or the forums, so chances are the OP deleted their message.
That sucks. Doesn't exactly motivate you, does it...

To be honest it does not worry me, he guys is trying to communicate in his second language, I can barely do that in my milk language. I get enough positive responses to keep my interest, just wish I could get the hang of the QA thingy

I have found that some people will post something that they want only you to read then delete it. You still get the e-mail with the original message. However, in my case, it usually is a message telling where to go and how to get there.

Not quick, merely a coincidence
Just popped online for a minute this morning (last night for you)

I really miss being able to view it online. Now I have to click on an article link, give up focus to the browser, toggle back to email, click on another link, give up focus to the browser, toggle back to email, etc.

In this answer just posted[^], I wanted to naturally use some indenting in body text (text not inside pre-tags). At the same time I certainly wanted to have global text as HTML option on (checked): so that pre-tag formatting would work.
In the body text, I found that there was no way to achieve indenting either through use of space characters, or through the use of the 'indent menu choice. Even tried indenting followed by 'untab: nope.
The only thing I found that worked was manually inserting the HTML code for a non-breaking space, two of them, at least, to achieve any real sense of indentation.
Is there an alternative I have missed somewhere in the QA editor that can let you indent body text easily ?
thanks, Bill

You could have used lists rather than manual numbering, like this:
- This is an item
- This is another item
- This is a subitem
- This is another subitem
- This is yet another item
- Ad nauseam ...
created by
<ol>
<li>This is an item</li>
<li>This is another item
<ol>
<li>This is a subitem</li>
<li>This is another subitem</li>
</ol>
<li>This is yet another item</li>
<li>Ad nauseam ...</li>
</ol>

Hi Richard,
Yes, okay, even a medium-level HTML coder can "go downtown" like this, easily, but for most QA users this would be not only probably be outside their skills, distracting, and too much work, and also easily prone to errors.
We come on QA to get "down to business," not to practice HTML coding.
There is a much simpler solution which I've suggested in my response to Chris below.
best, Bill

I do both; I'm not a web programmer and much of the knowledge I have about HTML/Javascript has been gained by working here. Looking at answers to other questions is as much part of being a CP member as answering questions.

Hi Richard, I read a lot of questions, and their answers, as well as articles and Tips/Tricks. Very few questions I see on QA are about JavaScript or HTML per se: references to those usually occur in relation to use within ASP.NET.
It would actually be interesting to know how active the JavaScript, and Web Development forums are in comparison to the other forums.
But, the topic of this thread is the editing of CP QA answers, and the awkwardness of the editing facilities, and looking at answers on QA certainly does not reveal the HTML codes used to create some body-text effect in the answer ... unless you examine the page source in your browser: do you have time to search through all the HMTL in a page source and locate where the HTML is used ? I bet you don't.
So I find this response a peculiar nonsequitur to what this thread is about. This response feels like an answer to a question that was never raised here. But it also has the feel to me of an "innuendo:" if I point out what I regard as less than optimal functionality in the editing facility on QA, how do you then infer that I do not read the answers to many questions, and how do you get from there to hinting that perhaps I am not being a "full" CP member.
This is the Site Bugs and Suggestions Forum, and I am posting what I feel is appropriate feedback about the editor facilities on QA based on many hours of my time asking clarifying questions, posting answers, etc.
I discovered, by accident, that some HTML codes will actually work in comments Like the codes for bold text.
Let's stay on topic, shall we ?
best, Bill

I look in them whenever I see new questions posted, it's part of my self-learning process. As to comparing them with the other forums I don't keep statistics.

No, I have never done that, I just add some HTML when I want my response to be formatted in a particular way.

I have no idea how you managed to infer this from my comments; all I did was explain one of the ways I use this site.

Where did I say that it was wrong to do that?

So you decide what the topic is and no-one else is allowed to deviate from that view.

your message gets stored as HTML, some tags may be refused by CP upon entry, what remains works as expected. So use PRE tags, or non-breaking spaces, or lists, or tables, or rely on the CSS styles that get included automatically...
