You can do that yourself: go to Your Settings[^], select the "Privacy" tab, and choose between "Close my account" and "Forget me Forever".

The "protector" badge seems to have gained a white background, which makes it look odd when a message is expanded.

Can be the same problem why the "Founder" Bob of Chris looks weird too?

I think it is wider or shorter than it should.

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?

A problem about the C# forum

I haven't lost my mind. The title makes sense when you look at the C# forum - there are two orphaned answers at the top of the page. Tested in Edge and Chrome (latest versions). Web 02, and Web 01 servers.

An orphaned post. This is a figment of your imagination because this is impossible. The code said so.

(I'll dig in and fix it)

IIRC there was a time when we could recover the text that was removed in this way.

The test is still there and accessible by Admins, protectors or those who closed it. That may be what you're referring to?

Probably, but I used to have that permission, but don't any more. I cannot recall when it changed, but quite some time ago.

Can we have please back CRLF in Q/A comments...

Yes I see the same thing. And reported it (now deleted.)

I noted that the 'orphan' part comes about because
1. Long time users so they didn't accidently post there
2. Neither answer reflects the parent
3. The trace line (or whatever it is) when you hover over the message goes off the top of the forum and not to the message they are under.

Ha, so I'm not the only one! By the way I agree with your feelings on the CRLF operation in the QA comments.

Um. It freezes and I can't get rid of it?

The "X" doesn't work, the "Cancel" button reacts like a button (but only displays "javascript:void(0)" in blue at the bottom left of the browser):

And I can't hit "Save" of anything else in at actual article page.
Fortunately, I'd just saved (just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean computers aren't out to get you) but ...

Even after ten minutes, it's just the same.

JSON data in code blocks - lang="json" doesn't work.

29-Nov-22 2:50

Digging in to see what's happening.

Update: It seems the old spelling checked that's baked into CKEditor (the control we use for posts) isn't appropriate for what we need. The browser has a perfectly good spell checked, but CKEditor has disabled it by default.

You can re-enable the browser spell checker, but you don't get access to the browser's context menu unless you disable CKEditor's context menu for Lists and Menus. Not a decision I think was wise unless CKEditor's business model was to drive people to a paid service that...oh, never mind.

~~So for now I've made a change that may not actually make anyone happy: lot's of squiggles will now show, but you're on your own to fix them.~~
Sorry - I can't live with that. It's either no spell checker, or spell checker and no context menu for tables and lists. Given tables and lists have menu buttons that still provide functionality, I'm removing the context menus so we get back spell-checking.

Chris, I have small problem with an article I'm writing to do with code blocks. I want to include the same data in CSV, JSON, and XML format, but when I use <pre lang="json"> as my block tag, the preview shows it with JavaScript instead ...

The code looks fine in source view:

The good news is that if I paste the CSV and JSON blocks here they show badly as well!
