Please see this answer: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.[^].
It has two versions, as it failed to submit at first. I used two text to attempt submission; I'll refer to them as v1 and v2 (current). Naturally, I tried to submit what is now v2.
Steps:
1) I put the whole text of v2 into clipboard.
2) Under "Add your solution here", click Ctrl+V; the text from the clipboard is entered.
3) "Paste As" is shown, I click "Paste as-is", "OK".
4) The HTML text is shown as it should be.
5) Click "Post message".
6) The page with submitted answer is shown; as usually in such cases, it is not formatted to the final view: it not as wide as the normal answer; and the solution number is not yet shown.
7) Refresh the page; the newly submitted answer is not shown.
8) As it already happened before and could be fixed when repeated, I repeat it from #1, few times.
...
9) Instead of "real" answer, enter the text as of v1, repeat #1-#7
10) The short "answer" text appears and is shown correctly after refresh.
11) Click "Improve question"
12) Text edit area is shown again; I remove the text of v1, paste long text v2 again.
13) Repeat #3-#7.
14) Now the input and submission is successful; v2 replaced v1, to the text which I meant to have in the very beginning.
[EDIT #1]
What's funny, the same situation was reproduced when I tried to enter this message. This time, I did not paste the text, but simply typed it all. The bug report was not submitted successfully, as described above. Then I
1) Shortened the text to first and last paragraphs (the last is "—SA");
2) Submitted it, successfully;
3) Pressed "Edit"
4) Added text from clipboard, to get the original full text again.
5) Submitted again. Now the text was submitted successfully.
So far, it looks like the systems rejects longer input, but once the post is submitted and gets into the database, I can edit it to a longer text and successfully submit. I never face such behavior before. Before, I rarely saw something similar I attributed to temporary network failure; the post was successful on second attempt, with the same text.
[EDIT #2]
I found that the previous version of this message, before I added [EDIT #1] above, was actually posted (I just removed the double post). I wasn't see it after the first page reload, and I think it really did not appear.
I just added an answer of a bit bigger volume than that referenced above, this time, it worked out correctly. On possible difference: I did it on another computer, having faster Internet connection…
In both cases: Mozilla SeeMonkey v.2.17.11, Windows 7 64-bit (x86-64).

If our system thinks your post is too big it pops up a warning, but doesn't actually reject the text.
Hmmm. That's an odd one.

Yes, kinda. Of course, there was no warning displayed, otherwise I would mention it.
Thank you, Chris.

I see you added the new "Best Database article" category, but I see two issues:
- It looks like you have added two identical surveys (1462 and 1463).
- It is not available through the main page.
Also, there are no articles from the new category in the "Best overall article of May 2013", but I can see why it might be too late to do anything about that.

Hi there,
I changed my email address in my settings and I stopped receiving the emails from CodeProject.
Could you please check?
Thanks...

Check your email. There should be a message asking you to confirm you own your new email address.

I get a "page not found" on ask.aspx from Web04 (but none so far from Web01) when trying to link to it from the QA menu. Web01 seems to hit the right page every time.

I have given feedback to the autor, but in Using an Access, MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite database from VBA[^] there are some code snippets without format.
If the autor doesn't edit it, would you mind to do it?
Thank you in advance

To all:
You site is a joy to use. This site, and the people that monitor it, have been a tremendous aid to me.
The ability to mark/format code and quotes is easy to use.
Thank you to the people that maintain the site. Thank you to those that post and help people like me.

I would join the compliment. Despite of few problems which I can presently see, it's already much better than all other sites with similar functionality I knew so far, and it is being improved on a regular basic.

I just changed my login email address and when I went to RootAdmin, I was still logged in with the old address. I tried to change the address there too, but it said it was already in use. I logged out and tried to log in with the new address, but it looks like it now wants to create a new account on RA.
Can you please help me out so I can keep my existing RootAdmin account?

While editing a question if someone delete just a white-space from the question then CP admits it as a valid editing and give 2 points but is it actually valid?? I suggest at least 5 characters editing for validity,if anyone do edit a question he/she needs to edit atleast 5 characters of the corresponding question,otherwise it will not be count as an edit.Comment expected...

I know that page, but I thought it was switched off because of some bugs. It has not been counting for weeks.
