I've noticed this as well. I think it's browser specific (I use IE8).

|
|

FF3.0
|

Hmmm, maybe I'm wrong. Let me do a little test.
Is there a space between this line and the previous one for each browser? We shall see.
Let's see how CP handles line breaks when there isn't HTML ending a line.

no more than two pixels on FF3.0

Yeah, looks like CP handles it improperly (at least according to my definition). My message renders to the following HTML:
Hmmm, maybe I'm wrong. Let me do a little <b>test.</b>
<br />Is there a space between this line and the previous one for each browser? We shall see.<br /><br />Let's see how CP handles line breaks when there isn't HTML ending a line.
There are two BR's when there's no HTML tag and one BR when there is one.

The text we enter gets modified in several ways as we are not expected to enter correct HTML (we don't start with a tag such as <p>), and there are hyperlinks and smileys and what have you that need being transformed. And then something special is done about all NewLine characters and probably <br> tags too.

I gathered as much, but thanks anyway.

As I type this message I am experiencing some serious auto sing outs i.e. type user name and password and tick remember me and click on sign in only to be redirected back to this forum (new message aspx) and I am not signed in?

The problem is your user ID. IDs that are nothing more than a default value assigned to a new user are automatically rejected by the system. At this very moment, a hit squad of deranged hamsters is on their way to your exact location. Their mission is to exact retribution in the form of bizarre sexual punishments, simply because you refuse to chage your User ID to something that resembles human readable form. their exploits will be compiled, soon to become a motion picture. The movie's tagline will be "...and then, the hamsters showed up".
You should be afraid... VERY afraid.

I dont think its because of my ID. Ive been using it for the last 2 years and 9 months without a problem. Anyways man I will let you pick a "human readable name for me" as your imagination never fails to amaze me.

"The Programmer Previously Known as 4277480"
No, wait. Not only is that too frakking long, it's a blatant ripoff...
Hmmm. See, the problem I have with these numeric IDs is that there's no way to abbreviate them. If we were in a hurry, and called you "4", over 1.1 million users on CP could answer to the name.
"Dick Bender / Private Eye"
Well, maybe not. It's difficult to come up with something when you're not the person that needs the new ID...
Maybe "Completely Unoriginal User ID"... Kinda long, still...

The easy way out is to ignore messages by numeric members; sooner or later they will either disappear or become smart enough to change their account name.
I never have and probably never will understand why people get and accept, or choose to have a numeric name, it reminds me of Auschwitz and Guantanamo.

We all are going to RIP someday and as time passes forgotton forever, besides that, each human being whether he/she likes it or not is referenced by a number in government databases so I dont see a problem in that (Although I agree with you they dont call themselves with that number). Anyways, feel free to call me what ever you want.

How about new ID();

So you refresh a couple of times and you then appear signed in?
Sounds like a caching issue. Are you using Google Chrome?

How is MVP status going to be calculated regarding the new reputation points system?

Adding to that... why not give MVP status all over the year based on fulfillment of a certain critera and not just annually?
|

I don't think that would be right, because at that point, you wouldn't be able to really list MVP status on a persons profile without a moderate amount off re-coding.
Beyond that, your score can go down as well as up. This means you'd gain MVP status and loose it, and gain it, and lose it, and gain it again. Evidence - my total reputation score bounced around yesterday by as much as 20 points for most of the day, going up and then down several times.

Maybe that explains your recent "pretty foul mood" as you called it. Or is it the other way around?
|

Nope - the foul mood happened on Friday (I think). My score bouncing was a direct result of the latest message from space. To be honest, I was kind of surprised at the voting on that.
