I should use CodeProject.TV to host a video capture of a CodeProject.com bug? Confused | :confused:

You didn't mention you wanted to upload a bug movie. I thought you meant this as a general suggestion.

The banner says CP tries hard to ensure that ads aren't annoying. I Heart | [heart]

CP but I find this ad very annoying only because "advertising" is misspelled "adveritsing". Smile | :)

And it's not an ad. It's a simple message.

Fixed.

It seems whatever logic you added is a little trigger happy. I will occasionally get the message when I am browsing from my phone and I don't have anything to block ads on that.
On my computer I have also seen ads show up, then get replaced by the message after a few seconds.

Sounds like a timing issue. I'll go yell at it, and maybe even thump it on top a few times.

I'm seeing this, too, Chris. No ad blockers on, but sometimes the ad comes up, sometimes I see the reminder. I've even seen an ad start to render, but is replaced by the reminder before it finishes.

FWIW, the site is occasionally slow to load for me tonight, so maybe there's some added latency messing up the timings.

I've tweaked the test delay and have been deploying new code (run! run for your lives!). Let me know how it is now.

Normally I have AB+ enabled, but after thinking, I have disabled it for CodeProject and will not re-enable it.

I really want to help this site, so....

I'll chime in that the message is still displaying over and over for me about your ads are not loading.

I do not have any ad blockers or any other addons installed at the moment.

Hello all!

Using Windows 7 and the new Internet Explorer 10 here.

Today, after a lot of time far away from this site (and from my office) I've wanted to up vote a post in the lounge. (It works for me in this forum).

The problem I've seen is that it is almost impossible to reach the green arrow to up vote the post as the green arrow disappears.

The best bet is to come from up/left side. Any other attempt to get into the green arrow is futile.

More information:
it seems to happen only with this post: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4509273/Pictures-from-a-developers-life.aspx[^] probably the link side by side to the arrows have something to do here...

Thank you and keep up the good work! Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

Are you still seeing this? I'm on Win7/IE10 and can't replicate the issue.

Sorry for the delay answering Chris, I've been out of the office several days.

Yes, I can see the behaviour. If I hover the link in the post from right to left and try to reach the arrows I can't get them.

As a little bit more of information I can tell you that if I try to select the downvote arrow I can't see both arrows to disappear, but if I try to upvote the post and after hovering the link I try to reach the green arrow directly I can see both of them disappearing.

Thank you! Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

Disappearing Tag buttons in QA

OriginalGriff3-Mar-13 22:23

This has been annoying me for a whole now, but until now I never worked out what I was doing to get rid of the...

Sometimes, when you are answering a QA question, the Tag buttons ar just completely missing, so you have to enter the <pre> tags, <b> tags and so forth manually. Then today I realised how I was getting rid of them.

1) Open any QA question, and move to the Solution box.
2) Type anything you like (you will find the box can be empty or full of text, it doesn't matter)
3) Paste some text in.
4) While the paste format selector is still visible on the RHS, press the Page Up or Page Down key. Voilà! your Tag buttons have vanished - and I can't find a way to get them back...

I'm stumped. In the Google dev tools I can see the elements but it looks like the containing div is having its background drawn over the buttons it contains. It's also broken in Safari on Windows, but, interestingly, not Safari or Chrome on my Mac.

I'm open for suggestions on that one. Too weird.

Maybe it'll fix itself in a later Chrome release... Confused | :confused:

An update for you - I just got it again, and if I position the mouse cursor really, really carefully just above the top orange line around the input text box, I noticed a pair of teeny, tiny orange dots. Moving the mouse right gave me the tooltips for the tag buttons and hovering the mouse over where "code" should be gave be the dropdown to select the language. It looks like the whole toolbar has collapsed to a single pixel high?

If you use the developer tools in Chrome you can see the entire formatting bar is still there. It's just hidden.

It's truly odd
