Fair enough. It's easy enough to just delete their question from QA and direct them to the right location.

you have an entire reputation system available, so you know who the experienced users are; they indeed should not be punished for the mistakes committed by some of the newbies. The latter however could be better served by a slower approach, with more instructions, formatted such that they are likely to be noticed and read.
So my suggestion is adapt the user interface to the user level: e.g. give all sub-silver accounts (*) the verbose treatment. This is likely to help the newcomers (the site is complex and overwhelming at first), and it will save all of us from some of the annoying misbehavior by a few.
Yes I'm aware it would cause a (or one more) bifurcation in the site's behavior, making it slightly more difficult to test and to explain.
(*) or sub-bronze (ignoring Participation) or whatever threshold seems right;
and obviously when not logged in, everyone is sub-bronze.

I am getting an UNSAFE script warning in firefox 3.6.8 on Windows 7 64 whenever I go to any article page. What is causing this?

|

Probably a flash ad.

I have adblock plus installed. these are the items blocked.
###ctl00_BottomAd
###ctl00_LeftHandAd
###ctl00_TopAd
###ctl00_TowerAd
##.container-adwords
/adserve/*
I don't think it was an ad.

Unfortunately if you're using third party add-ins to modify the HTML your browser renders then I can't offer much in the way of support.

Still got it when I turned adblock off.

This is strictly my personal opinion. But I do think it's gracious to not block ads on a website that's run on ad-revenue when you do benefit from the articles and forums on there. And more particularly when the ads are as non-intrusive as they possibly could be and are also invariably from developer-related companies/components.
|
|

I agree entirely. I have AdBlocker installed, however I don't use it to hide the ads that show on CP. I don't mind them being there, unless they are faulty and hamper normal page loading.

I don't know why every time when I update / post article, some garbage text are automatically added at the bottom of my post... What is the issue? 
Thanks

The editor auto-closes tags if you don't enter in well-formed HTML.

Yikes.
Everywhere the word "Microsoft" appeared you had a massive amount of custom (non standard) markup from the Leonardo highlighter. You also had some form elements at the bottom of the article that are not permitted.

This morning I tried to vote this nice article[^] but the moment I hover my mouse over the voting area the "Add the reason or comment for your vote" text box pops up and covers the radio buttons, thus prevents me from voting . Mind you, I am not talking about the mandate to comment low votes - I was going to vote the article 5 and even if I enter a comment the box does not go away.
The browser is IE 8 on Windows 7. Screen resolution: 1920 x 1200
[EDIT] I managed to vote by using the keybord [/EDIT]

Very odd. Can you please try viewing the article again and hitting Ctrl+F5? We updated the styles and it could be that your browser is caching the styles longer that it should.

This happened to me earlier on IE8, I switched on off compatibility view and all as good.
Sorry, not very helpful when wrong info is given!  So it misbehaves with compatibility on under IE8.

You almost tricked me with the feint, but I've worked it out and it should be good now. Both with and without compatibility mode

Confirmed. Thanks!

Ctrl+F5 did not help. Switching to the compatibility mode did.

I can repro it. I get the voting comment panel popup and it disappears when I move my mouse out of it.
But my vote did go through, as did my comment.

This user[^] is throwing 1-votes in Q&A without giving a meaningful reason.
