I'm right in the middle of a deploy. You may have had issues due to that.
I tried and had no problem.

Please try again

Problems in Firefox

I just switched from Firefox to Edge because the latter is simply not loading most pages. Earlier today, I also submitted a post that subsequently disappeared, so I reposted[^] it.

EDIT: Firefox now appears to be working properly again.

~~But in Edge, trying to set 50 posts per page in The Lounge (instead of the lamentable 25) does not stick.~~ Sorry, forgot to set tight spacing.

So Edge ("the latter") is not loading most pages, but you switched to it anyway? Laugh | :laugh:

Bug[^]

Using Imgur as pasting images doesn’t work on iPad.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Visual oddity on Home page.

This doesn't always happen, but it's there right now.
Most pages fit perfectly into the width the browser allows, even on my Portrait monitor:

But the Home page occasionally doesn't, and adds a horizontal scroll bar, which chops off the right hand side of the site:

I'm pretty sure it doesn't do it all time, but right at the moment I can't stop it!
And I think it's the facebook icon, which is stuck out there on the right on it's lonesome:

Chrome Version 86.0.4240.183 (Official Build) (64-bit).
Interestingly, on Edge (Version 86.0.622.63 (Official build) (64-bit)) it looks doesn't get the scroll bar but looks "odder" because the FB icon leaves a white gap on the right hand side:

This isn't a high priority deal-breaking thing, but it is the first page many visitors land on so it should be "tidy". Laugh | :laugh:

It's the category menu. I'll dig in later today to see why it's decided to stop being sensible

If you can reproduce it in Firefox, it might be worth trying v83 Beta, where the overflow debugging has been improved. Smile | :)

First time I've seen a picture embedded in a CP message.

There are only two forums where it's allowed: here and "Where I Am". Both are monitored, so the intellectually challenged can't harm the site rep with inappropriate material and get net nannies on CP's case.

Using Version 86.0.4240.183 (Official Build) (64-bit) I find that dragging the browser from my landscape monitor to my portrait monitor will recreate what you are seeing, but doing a refresh will 'fix' the layout. There is something going on that is preventing proper resizing.

There is a Chrome update that just was installed, so I'll see if that fixes the issue.

Not getting Insider daily email

Fixed. Messed up timing between one of the ads showing, and the menu getting the correct width, caused the menu to be too wide. I'll talk to Katie about that ad.

I don't know why, but I have stopped receiving The Insider daily email again. The last one I received was Nov 6. This happened a couple of weeks ago. I checked my settings and I still have it selected. It just stopped coming. This is not the third time this has happened.

I have just discovered a bug in a support service that may be causing this issue and am working of fixing it today. I the mean time, I've restored all the subscription data that is used by our Mailer, so you should be getting your newsletters again.

Let me know if you are not.

Great! Haven't gotten one since Monday. Even combed our mail server logs to see if the spam filter threw them out.

Similarly, my CodeProject Daily Build and Insider news letters stopped arriving last week. I miss the morning Insider! A cup of coffee and the insider has been my morning routine for many years. Do you have any suggestions on how to get this going again?
Thanks

I am currently tracking down a nasty bug that was unleashed when I fixed another bug.
I am currently rebuilding the Newsletter subscription lists and expect it to finish around noon EST. After this I will start the Newsletter sends going again.

Sorry for the making everyone have to wait for Bob's words of wisdom.
