It's to help the smileys to be parsed. And interestingly, the addition of the space hasn't been consistent in our code.

They are "typed only" - I was talking about the smiley buttons to the right of this text box.
If I click Smile | :)

I get

[space]:)[space]

gives me

with no spaces.

"Friends" w/ Private email capability

The email feature was really useful so that people could network and connect, collaborate on projects, and things like that.

I understand why it's gone, but I want to impress upon the reader just how valuable I think it is.

What if we could bring it back safely?

What if we had a "friend" feature - where you can mark someone as a potential friend. if they accept, you have a private email link whenever you reply to them, or you can go to their profile and send a private message that way.

But only between friends?

Just a thought.

I suppose that will be easier to implement and for me is valid enough. Good idea.

I agree and second it.

You forgot the "formerly known a twitter" part, I've not seen a reference to X without it.

No, I deliberately left it out. So this could be the first (or should that be second) time X has appeared in print without it.

Article appears to be approved but is still pending

This might not be a bug. It might be me being an idiot, but there is currently 1 article pending approval. I went to approve it and there's no option for that, but 3 approvals already.

It still says pending, but with 3 approvals to publish shouldn't it be published?

And otherwise, shouldn't I have the option to mark it as approved?

Something seems amiss.

Not if you comented the article and landed after the redirecting to the previous version. It happens me more than I would like to do.

Go out to the home page, click on the moderation queue again on this article, then you should see the "aprove" again

In the meanwhile... it got approved:

What happened to my rep privileges?

Update: Also my article says approved by editor or trusted author when i navigate to it, but it's actually pending approval (shouldn't need to wait for that in my case) and it's not published.

Ever since this morning some of my comments are getting marked as spam and when I tried to update my article it told me it would have to go through the approval process. Given my rep points this shouldn't be happening, and has never happened to me before.

Can someone look into this? Thanks.

Site layout is normal for me now though. Progress!

Update: Site layout is borked again. Oops!

Home page layout broken?

Is it just me, or has the home page layout gone for a Burton again?

Edit: And now it's back to normal.

Edit: And now back to messed up. Not sure if it's a dodgy ad; a dodgy article title; a dodgy question title; or something else.

NB: All ad-blocking is disabled for CodeProject, so I have no idea where the "resource is blocked by OpaqueResponseBlocking" messages are coming from.
