Ok thanks... one more...
Whenever i paste anything in Q&A editor, it always comes up in a pre tag by default. Though i don't face the same thing if i paste it in the forum messages editor. It's little irritating at times. Is this a known thing? Intentionally done?

Artificial Intelligence at work.
It doesn't do PRE tags when you paste text though.
And yes, it would be the preferred forum behavior too, but the gods aren't completely with us yet.
PS: there are some controls beneath the edit box in Q&A

It does for just any text you paste there!

No it does not. I just CTRL/V'd three lines of text (from my above message) and did not get any HTML added to it.
BTW: what happens behind the scenes is based on this[^]

Sorry to say but i do get it!!!
I wrote my name in the Q&A editor, then did Cntrl+C, Cntrl+V => new text pasted in a C++ pre tag! any number of times i do this happens for me....
P.S.: I am taking of Q&A editor and not this message editor. They behave differently!
Environment: IE 7/8

Q&A editor works fine for me, I checked again with FF3 and IE7.
My LPCodeRecognizer will always say it is text when there is only one line pasted anyway.
Make sure your paste options are still at "auto detect".
If it persists, yake it up with Chris, qnd try providing some proof.

Suggest me how to provide a proof for this one! 
Hmmm... a short video emailed to Chris?

This article is missing at least one closing tag. I would edit it myself, but the author has prevented anyone but editors/admins from doing so.

BTW, I think it might be a good idea to disallow authors from being able to prevent editing by other users if their author points are below gold level..45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

Need to implement HTML encoding while displaying Messages as it is breaking the page if some scripts are there.
Check this[^]message, it is getting redirected to a blank page with voting bar only.

|
|
| It's loading fine for me. A lot of HTML is blocked from messages by design due to abuse. IIRC supported tags are done via a whitelist. 3x12=36

Oops! CPHog was the culprit. The page will render properly if it's disabled.
But please verify the Search Message Posts page. It seems to break there.

What happened to the modified time stamp and subject?
I just edited a message in this forum (just a small typo) and noticed the [modified] in the subject didn't appear and the time stamp in the body wasn't there neither.
Bug? or was it removed on purpose?
[Edit]Seems to have sorted itself out, was a one time thing apparently so ignore this [/Edit]modified on Wednesday, March 17, 2010 6:39 AM

It depends on how long ago the original post was.
For example, you post and immediately see a typo, you can edit it and re-post without incurring the wrath of the Modified Pixie, but leave it 20 mins and try it, the modified flag will be fluttering.

I edited after more than an hour so...
I know there is a period where it doesn't appear but after an hour it should appear.

Weird tested with mine and works aswell but I'm absolutly certain I edited this[^] post after more than an hour and it didn't get it.
Granted it was a very minor edit but when I edited my previous reply to you I got the timestamp and Modified subject directly.

I think if you leave the site, or post another essage before editing, you will get the modified label, even if it's within a certain timeframe..45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

It takes a couple of minutes between first post and edit for the "modified" marks to be applied; that is how it works most of the time. However it isn't reliable, for the last several months I estimate a 10% probability of edits to slip through without being marked "modified". I've seen that happen dozens of times already, and I add "[Edited]" or "[Modified]" by hand when appropriate.
My best guess is there is a caching issue involved, while creation and modification are occurring on different servers.

Here's what happens:
A member X on server A views a list of messages. These messages are then cached on server A. Another member Y on server B views a list of messages. These messages are then cached on server B.
Member Y edits a message on server B. The message is updated, the cache on server B is invalidated and updated, and member Y see's the latest message.
Member X, however, sees the old data if he is on server A. He sees the new data if he is on server B. For the sake of efficiency we do not check every message of every forum to see if it has been edited and whether it should be thrown out and recached. Instead, we cache for only 5 mins or so, meaning member A could potentially hop between different servers and see different things.
Member Y, however, will always see the latest. When he goes to server A he carries with him info on what he changed and so his appearance on server A will trigger a cache invalidation and he, and everyone else on server A, will now see updated information.cheers,

Thanks for that.
It is kind of what I was expecting; the "When he goes to server A he carries with him info on what he changed and so..." part is interesting.
I happen to recall two occasions, both Lounge IIRC, where I edited a message several hours after I created it and didn't get a "modified" mark; does that mean I wasn't recognized, maybe my dynamic IP had changed?

Was this recently or a few weeks ago? A few weeks ago there was definitely an error in the parser that was causing it to not catch these things.
If it was recent then it could be that you are seeing client-side caching (which we made more aggressive). An full non-cached refresh would have showed the modified tag. However - you would be able to tell beccause when you edited the post the modified tag would have been injected into the subject and message just before you edited, so you would have seen it. If you didn't see the modified tag while editing the question then it's a bug, plain and simple, because no caching occurs there.
Maybe you should just hit Ctrl+F5? :Pcheers,

That was a while ago. I'll keep an eye on things and report if I see it again.
