Not a comment - a reply to a comment:

Posting new comments and replies to comments uses the same control so if one's broke the other is too.

This has happened to me on occasion. A MessageBox pops up and once answered the text is gone.

Automatically censors "a**hole", but doesn't censor "assholes".

Could you increase the spacing a little?

Clicking on the contest link sends you to the contest. In this case the monthly article contest.

Yes, we need to make this better, so thanks for bringing this up

On the article moderation page, the report and print buttons are a little close:

With fat fingers on a tablet it's far too easy to hit "print" when you were aiming for the report flag. A few more pixels would make a big difference!

I can! Give me a few, though, as there's an overall refresh coming up that will address a bunch of these mobile display issues

No problem - it doesn't print anything, just I have to sigh and press "Back". Laugh | :laugh:

Set your default print as pdf... at least you won't waste paper... (you might need it for other requisites) Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

It doesn't actually print - it changes the page to a "print friendly" look without the adverts, menus, and so forth:

And you lose the report flag, so you have to sigh, and reload.
Just irritating, nothing serious.

Every time that I set preferences for what I want and don't want they disappear. When is this BUG going to be fixed?

Which preferences and where are you setting them? Can you walk me through the exact steps?

We've been trying to replicate this issue for months and we cannot, no matter what we do, spot it happening in the debugger. The more examples we get of specific steps that are reproducible the better our chances of replicating and hence fixing.

Out of interest, what happens when you try? (or is it a privacy thing?)

I select an image to paste in Windows Explorer (Win 7); enter Ctrl-C; go the the page I am editing; enter Ctrl-V - noting happens.

Are you copying an image file, rather than copying the image itself?

Try opening the image in an image editor and copying it from there.

Which version of IE?

We're dropping support for all IE after the announcement by Microsoft, in their article The perils of using Internet Explorer as your default browser that IE is a compatibility solution.

IE will still work, probably down to IE9 or 10, but we no longer test on IE nor do we fix IE related issues. It would be interesting to see if you have the same issue if you used Opera, FireFox or Chrome.
