No, I think it is more to do with the quality of your answers and articles. And the fact that you seem to have the patience of a saint sometimes.

There are many fine answers given, by many people. Don't underestimate your own fine contributions Richard. You also go above and beyond when helping.

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.

Where did my enters go

It's seems the 'line breaks' aren't displayed. Unless you enter two of them and then both of them are displayed.

2 line breaks before this line./
1 line break before this line

In Edit they do come back, in the preview they aren't displayed.

So probably just something with the display

In case it's important:

Chrome Version 41.0.2272.101 m

[EDIT]
Never mind, apparently it's all due to the 'markdown formatting', I completely missed that.
And there is a checkbox to 'un-use' it so that solves the problems (the checkbox even saves so very handy Smile | :)

)

I was just going to report that too.

Typing <br> seems to help (but I don't want to do that every time I need a line break).

Markdown is enabled. It needs two line breaks.

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???

See Chris's Markdown announcement in the Lounge:

An important note is that to add a linebreak you'll need to either

add 2 spaces to the end of a line, or add a blank line between lines.

Also here[^].

Didn't see that.

But still is this intended behavior?

I don't want to have to add those 2 spaces every time when I'm just typing text.

They do seem to work tho.

You can always un-tick the "Use Markdown formatting" option to get the old behaviour back.

O crap, I need more coffee.
Hadn't seen that checkbox yet.

Thanks that helps (here is hoping my selection is saved).

[EDIT]
Wohooo it is saved, all problems solved Smile | :)

Thanks

I've made a change (not yet deployed) which will restore linebreaks.

You can have your cake and eat it, too. Or something.

Sorry to be a pain, but that fix is now adding extra line-breaks to code blocks.

Typing:

plain

Line 1<br />Line 2

Produces:

Line 1
Line 2

Time to send a squad off these[^] to the Markdown headquarters?

OK, try this

var line1;
int line 2

That seems to have
fixed that.

Hi,

I would like to propose an suggestion. For example consider i am posting a question and few users are responding to it and there is a particular user who is more involved in resolving the question. Just give an option or add an icon so that i can chat with the user instantly like Skype or g talk. This shall provide more user friendly environment to the users.

I think this idea has been brought up in a few different ways over the years, and the general response is that all communication should be public domain and not private because your discussion could potentially help others. However, I could be wrong in my recollection.

You're correct. I have had a number of people over the years try to get into a private support chat, but always refer them back here. If I want to have private clients then I will want to make money from them.

Yeah my Aunty makes lots of money doing that.

You can always ask them. But the majority here won't do it; we answer questions in our own time at our own pace. If you want private consultancy then you will have to pay for it. And the overriding principle of CodeProject is that everything is free to everyone.
