I know this has been brought up before, but I think I have a reprodusable case.
The below link goes to one of my posts in the Lounge. When you reply to it, the reply goes to the post below it instead. The one written by ThatPhilBrettGuy.

I hope this helps.

I tried putting a background color inside a div on my sig, and the CP site is replacing the word "background-color" with "removed-color".
Can someone please fix this?

No. When I "save" my settings, it goes back to the prhibited "background"...

I see. Maybe the sig is checked more than the texts...

It works fine in the preview when you're actually changing your sig, but when you save it, it goes back to "background", and is of course "removed" when it appears in the forums.

Here's a test of the sig when made part of the actual message body. In this example I used the *hack* that involves using ampersign-pound-9-7 to force the letter "a" in "background":

That's how it's supposed to look, but what I actually get is shown below:

As you can see, all is well in signature land now.  Many thanks to Chris.
He made CP a potentially more colorful and cheery place to... waitaminit, that's not the way I talk!

Hi Chris,
there's a point that could be easily improved in the weekly poll system.
currently, when someone suggest an optional answer to a survey, its text is added and then displayed in the optional answers list.
often, when some want to answer an optional answer, it can happen that the text has already been submited, but as they differ with one or more letters (like CListCtrl or Clistctrl), they appear as 2 different answers.
what could be done is provide in a combobox all the optional answers already submited in the poll form, so that it could reduce the approximative differences...

Interesting idea. It actually gels with another little addition I was thinking of making too.
hmmm...

I press mouse down on titles in the forums.
(This description is for titles that are blue.)
In IE, it turns underlined red. When I mouse up, the topic opens and it remains red. When I move the mouse away, it remains red.
In FireFox, it turns underlined red. When I mouse up, the topic opens and it turns blue. When I move the mouse away, it returns to blue.
Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine.

If you click the mouse away it returns to blue.

In the message sent to confirm email messages (Subject: [CodeProject] Email Confirmation), under "WORRIED ABOUT PHISHING?" it says "Always cut and paste web addresses sent to you via email".
It is good to provide useful advice, and that advice is useful, but better advice is to suggest that email be read without HTML; that is, in plain-text format. This is easy to do using OE and I assume most email readers. Plain-text format can be an inconvenience but it can also be a big help in preventing phishing and spam and even malicious messages.

These 2 or 3 days, it's been quite often to encounter certain errors while navigating the forums (next page, previous page), posting new messages, replying messages, modifying messages, and deleting messages.

I get these quite a lot. They tend to occur when there are lots of users online.

I'm using del.icio.us and would like to get all the bookmarks I have in CodeProject into my tag list.
I was wondering if there was a way to export my CodeProject bookmarks to a standard bookmarks.html file. I was looking around and did not see a way. This would be a nice feature to add.

hi Chris,
did you change anything to the [delete] behavior ?
really, i find it much cool as i observed it, that is, the icon is still remaining, showing that a post was there (so the hierarchy of the posts in a thread is preserved), but the post is now unaccessible (no title, no way to open it - cause no link, no voting system)...
well done Chris !

When I go to the Article Requests and Ideas forum I get "Msgs 1 to 15 of 15 (Total: 2669) (Refresh)" There are only 15 posts eventhough the total says 2669. Do posts get removed after some period of time? Even if that's the case the oldest post is from less than a month ago.
Just brought it up in case Chris et al didn't know.

It depends on what you have the "Messages Since" dropdown setting set to (it's in the top right).

Funny I haven't noticed that in the few years I've been here. That's my one new thing for the day, so it's time to shutdown now.
