My Quick Answer Section In CP gives me "Sorry, no entries were found matching tags ASP.NET".

Have you checked your settings?
There is a content filter tab where you can set filter both for showing and hiding.

Maybe there is a filter for ASP.NET in the ignore box.

Yeah there has been some weirdness with that.
Also there is a save settings button at the QA now, I'm guessing that saves the current set filters to your settings so something might have gone wrong there or you pressed it by mistake or ...
I'm sure once Chris is making his rounds he'll give you a much more technical and better explanation.

Consistant Low Voting

I have no problem with people voting however they like, high or low and all these votes[^] on QA may be justified, but is a self appointed QA policeman getting a bit obsessive?

I looked in his comments section and found one 5 before I got bored - praising another member for slating a question!

If this helped, please vote & accept answer!

There is a need for low voting, but it must be a qualified and just reason.

It appeared he was voting low for very marginal reasons.

I try not to downvote where I can offer a comment as to ways of improving the question.
(Unless it is a dumb question that has been repeated or somesuch event).

I often edit questions that are in a poorly phrased or badly spelled way.
(Some people do not have English as a first language and so, far from criticising, I 'improve' the question)

I always say why I edited, for spelling or syntax or grammar etc, but do not downvote for poor English.

This fellow does, and I think that is not a viable reason.

He's entitled to his opinion, and he is providing opinions, not just spam or targeted down voting.

Maybe he could be more tolerant, but I also know that others truly wish that many question posters would think a little more as well.

OMG!!! It's a consistent 1 vote with the reason "fake answer" in most of the cases. Somewhere he used the term "nonsense" too. Don't he have any work than discouraging others voting down?

I am unable to get the link in this answer[^] to show as a link, it just displays all the HTML. I also noticed when trying to add my first answer that the buttons above the edit screen were not present, and the emoticons had been replaced by a link.

It's time for a new signature.

The CheckBox saying "Ignore HTML in text (good for code snippets)" below the editor was checked. So it ignored the HTML. I just unchecked the CheckBox and it's all fine now. Smile | :)

But that flag should be taken from my settings; when you edit the message it should be from yours. As you say, it is OK now, so I will need to take a more careful look next time. Thanks.

Correct. Few days back, I was having similar problems. The CheckBox was unchecked by default and I had some content filter saved automatically. But that was there for few hours and so I didn't report a bug here.

Edit: Just noticied, there are posts above talking similar things.

No, it is not like that. When you edit a post, the settings are taken from what the last user saved. At least in this case, this is what I have noticed every time.

I think I need to look at all the settings on the page quite carefully before I try any more edits. Wink | ;)

I was improving the formatting of this[^] answer.

It contains a script tag with alert box. So for every preview change I was getting an alert.
I know it is expected behavior but it is not required and is annoying.

Can we have this fixed?

Which browser?

I've just been trying to replicate and I can't. All script is (meant to be) stripped out or HTML encoded.

Okay, I tried it again and didn't get it. I compared the last version to check what was it that caused this issue?
And the following test could replicate it.

I removed the PRE tags and selected the code-snippet and clicked 'code block'. All fine.
Now I tried adding language to the PRE tag. I started writing lang="j and the alert box popped up.

I think, if you roll it over to the last version and try editing for formatting, you could see the behavior again.

This is a very rare case, but I hope you will look into the issue and show us a solution. Smile | :)
