Well this happened in my reply to this guy! --> http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/Taskbar_Manipulation.aspx?msg=1612645#xx1612645xx[^]
I replied to him in 2006, so now I know a better answer hence thought to modify my original message, but I had to post a new one to let him know!

I don't, but since I wrote this stuff hence I should reply to him instead of keeping him waiting.

As NBT said, this is on the forum on his article. I'd agree with you if it was in a help forum, but it would be nice to acknowledge a reported bug on your own article...
In your defense, he didn't initially say about his article, and I took it to mean the main fora too.

Okay, I submitted an article this morning, but for whatever reason it refused to show the source code download.
I just deleted it and resubmitted, and now the old item on the CP home page is still there - with the wrong url (of course), and the new item isn't listed at all.
Okay, that part seems to have fixed itself.
Further, I usually create my article text offline. I use paragraph tags for paragraphs (I know - silly idea), but CP uses line feed tags between paragraphs. The whole editing thing kinda sucks...
When you move between "WYSIWYG" mode and html mode, your text is completely reformatted, and is extremely difficult to manage at that point.

Part of this is converting HTML to XHTML. We need to ensure that the HTML on the site is well formed and that can be tricky to do while maintaining layout because if the HTML is really screwy then the final corrected result can be quite different.
What we are doing is an initial correction using the browser's DOM so that you can immediately see what happens to your HTML when it's corrected. If your code is already correct then the display you see shouldn't be affected. If your initial HTML wasn't correctly formed then you may see changes which could prompt you to go back and edit and it's this 'corrected' HTML that's screwy.

Technical term  But it seems like all previous posts, the pagination links etc have been dropped into one post somehow, take a look.

Can you send me a link to a message that shows this problem? I can't see anything from here.

This[^] is the post that contains all links to other questions, pagination etc I believe.
(EDIT)
If you can't see this still, I will chuck up a screenshot. Is anyone else actually experiencing this with the C# forums?
(EDIT 2)
Been fixed it seems.

Hi All/Chris,
I like the new icons accompanying Print, Discuss, Send To Friend, etc. However, due to the width of the occupied screen real estate, articles now require horizontal scrolling on 1024x768 resolution.
It's hard to ask authors to keep their article width manageable when the article is presented in a manner which does not do the same.
I also observe that the note "This is an unedited reader contribution" has plenty of screen real estate. Perhaps switching locations will present a more visually appealing page? In addition, the note is more appropriate next to the rating.

I agree. Another solution might be to reduce the font size for the "Print, Report Article", etc. I notice that the size of the "Popularity" font seems to be a tad smaller.

Fix in next rev

Hi All/Chris,
When attempting to cast a ballot, I recieved "Unfortunately the page you requested was not found." This was with both a low quality article (possibly sent off to purgatory) and a high quality article. (Sorry Hans. As soon as the voting is back in place, I'll get that univote cast )

Hi Jeff,
According to email I got from Chris, there's a problem with AD server. This affects article viewing, so I'm guessing it also affects voting.

I also noticed Web13 is serving up old content. Is Web13 an AD server?

I don't know. What I have been doing is to jot down the page I'm trying to view, the servers that don't work (there are usually several of these, before I get to one that works), and finally the server that works correctly. If you can do the same, and send the results to Chris, maybe they can pin it down.

Web17 and Web19 are causing problems also. I'm trying to update an article, and I get kicked back with the following:
There was a problem creating your article.
* A basename needs to be supplied.
* A section needs to be selected.
* A subsection needs to be selected.
