I don't complain about people beating up on me verbally. It *is* the internet, afterall. 
Screw with my rep points, however, and I immediately smell blood in the water.

He doesn't care about rep points per se. He cares about when I mess with them, specifically.

As long as I only see increases, you're fine.

I get a blank page under the text "Reputation History"... IE9 here...
Apart of that after the changes made typically some pages stay as if they were being loaded (you know that small circle inside the tab of ie9 rotating without stopping). i.e. meanwhile I'm writting this I can see that circle rotating... 
Seems that everything works again...
Keep up the good work... 
PS: you did a mistake... the bug icon is too coool...

I posted some code with an xml comment[^] and the syntax highlighter is coloring it all as comment. If I remove the xml comment it behaves normally.

2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18

The code wasn't HTML encoded (ie you wrote < instead of <)
I'm hoping to be able to bring in the editor we use for Quick Answers into the forums. this has Luc's auto-code sniffer which will help enormously with this stuff.

When the tags didn't get eaten I assumed you had enough magic that I didn't need to fiddle with stuff like that any more.

Hi,
I am colorblind...
The new change from Red to Green for the text of high voted posts is bad for me, I almost don't see any difference between the green messages and the grey ones.
I know I could change the contrast/brightness of my monitor, but it's perfectly fine me for everything else.
Would it not be possible to at least have a setting for defining the color ?
Thanks,
Stephane

Apologies, Stephane. I checked the colours using a website to simulate the effect on those who are colourblind and it seemed the changes would not cause any issues. Clearly there's no substitute for the real thing.
If you had a few minutes spare I could email you a test page with some colour variations.
Adding a "high contrast" option is something I could do as well.

HI Stephane
Apologies for the delay. I decided against diving in too deeply into colours and instead am using a star to highlight popular posts. This unfortunately means that upvotes (but not officially marked as "popular") messages can be green and unstarred. Does this make it difficult to read the title, or merely difficult to tell they are green?
cheers,

Hi Chris,
I have no problem at all reading the green text (or the grey text).
It is just hard to differentiate them.
The star helps finding the greens of course

Since switching to the new more decorative quote format, FF4 is unable to quote text when replying to a post. When the "quote seleted text" button is pressed the result is to attmpt to submit the reply, and an "empty post" error is generated if the quoted text would have been the first content of the reply. Things work fine if IE8 is used instead.

I posted the original message in FF5, quoting only your message and not adding any text.
When the issue happens for you, are you seeing any javascript error in FF? (Ctrl+Shift+J shows the javascript console).
The decorative quote was purely a CSS change that affects message layout. There was no change made to posting, storing or processing messages themselves.

It's not only a frequent request, it is a popular request, yet nothing is ever done. I fail to see why Chris is so reluctant to do something so simple.

I don't know at which number you are already, but I second, third, fourth, fifth... two-thousand-million-xxx that.
PLEASE!
PS: And it would also be nice to have a sports forum for naked people inside the bed while drinking beer.
