Problem with doing a 2nd edit displays post in HTML

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 03:23:01 Z

Hi,

I see this very often. Add a post, spot a typo, edit it. Oops, spot another typo, edit it again, the edit box displays as HTML. Hit back, edit is gone, hit refresh, edit comes back, click edit again and all is ok.

DEP has stopped my pc from responding

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:33:31 Z

DEP has stopped execution of a program called "b" but in the process my pc has stopped responding to both mouse and keyboard. I cannot get windows to start in safe mode either. How can I get around this problem?

To MSDN forums administrators: How i can delete my posts/replies of my CLOSED previous account or move them and my medals to my newer account?

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 17:47:25 Z

Hi,

I had a windows live account named zamaniyasser@yahoo.com.
I had some posts and replies using that account with using "Yasser Zamani" as display name.
Unfortunately, i had to close that account because i wished to have a Hotmail instead of Yahoo! mail.
I closed that account and now i have this current account named yasser.zamani@live.com and i lost my access to my previous account.

How i can request MSDN forums administrators to delete my previous posts/replies or to giving them and my medals back to me?
I can tell my previous E-Mail(zamaniyasser@yahoo.com) password if they need to trust me or any needed information.

With best regards, Yasser Zamani

Thank you for your reply, Dan. I just checked another computer and it's doing it too. On both, it appears the date is advancing 4 hours too soon.

I think I'll not submit that report though. I'm not very concerned with it. I just thought you might be.

Windows 7 Aero Peek thumbnails do not work for Excel or PowerPoint

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 22:26:24 Z

Using Office 2007 on a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium, I've noticed Aero Peek thumbnail previews work for Word, but they don't work for Excel or Powerpoint. Is there a way to fix this, or is it a problem with Windows 7?

Incorrect page renderring of forum thread page.

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 10:48:51 Z

There is a thread that does not render correctly. The text of one of the posts breaks out of it's box and causes the remainder of the page to render incorrectly.
This occurs on Internet Explorer 8 in both standards and compatability mode. Safari and Firefox don't have this problem. Operating system is Windows 7 x64 RTM.
A thread which suffers from this problem can be found http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vclanguage/thread/b0271379-3ab1-4e08-af9e-d4f51fe8de79 the post in question is the first post by Nancy Shao.

When forum search isn't working, what info do you need from us to investigate?

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 06:32:05 Z

I know there have been a few outages lately, but it seems like I'm unable to find the results I expect pretty much every time I do a search.

Can you please create a short template that lists the info you'd need from us to be able to investigate search problems?

Current example: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7hardware/threads Search for x-fi. You'll only get 2 hits. I know there's at least a third, because it's on the "popular threads" list.

The post is from Ssnake in this thread.

I tried to vote it as helpful. It was taking too long to complete (but the message was still greyed out), so I clicked on a post a few above to vote it as helpful. The second post got marked immediately, but the post from Ssnake didn't. I refreshed the page and tried again. I got an "unexpected error" popup (IE8, Win7 x64 RTM) after I tried to click the vote button. I refreshed the page and tried again, got the same error.

"Email removed" in posts

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 03:28:32 Z

I've seen several threads after the last update where a poster appeared to attempt to post an email address. In the rendered thread however, the phrase "EMAIL REMOVED" appears. Is this by design?

Not receiving "Alerts"?

Mon, 09 Feb 2009 21:49:39 Z

I have "Altert Me" checked but I rarely get an alter Email. I get one once every 3 weeks or so, if I'm lucky. At first I thought it was due to no responses, but when I goto this web site and login and do a "My Threads" I see I have responses.

Does "Alert Me" mean it will send an Email to me when a new post to my thread has been added/updated?

If so, why the heck isn't this working?

Thanks, Rob.

NOTICE: Delays for Alerts, Activities and Recognition Points!

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:52:52 Z

We deployed a minor update today to the forums application. Since this deployment (5PM pacific time) we have noticed some delays in alerts, activities and recognition point recalculations. Users may see delays in seeing user activities showing up in the profile app, delays in live alert deliveries and user's points may not be updated for a while after they trigger an event which rewards points.

We will continue looking into this issue until it is resolved. I'll post an update tomorrow on where we are at. Thanks for everyone's patience!

duplicated accounts?

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:00:12 Z

I used to use account with display name "Hao Xu - MSFT". Then I tried to change the display name to "Hao Xu - [MSFT]". When I did that, I was given an error saying someone was using that. After that, the posts I made on the Windows Web Services API forum (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wwsapi/threads/) were shown under two names. Clicking on the two names gives different stats. Can someone help fix this problem and merge the points?

Unspecified error occurred

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:44:52 Z

I got this error several times already. Basically, it looks like when I try to propose an answer on the thread I didn't refresh and the answer I'm trying to propose is already marked as an answer. Should it somehow give a better description of a problem than "unspecified error"?

Thanks.

I discovered a mass of unanswered posts when going direct to the forums.

I was up-to-date in My Forum Treads (it seemed)

Also going to see the threads of a known spammer didn't help as they were not up-to-date either (so I again had to go direct to forums he haunts to get rid of his spams).

(Yes I know there is another thread but the update to that might well not be noticed.)

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 04:03:05 Z

I would like to change the email address, which I use to sign in the forums, but to keep my display name, points, threads and other account related stuff. How can I do that? If I follow these links: "My Profile" => "Edit Profile" => "Manage My Personal Information", then I see a different email in the "My E-Mail Address" section, it's not the one which I use to sign in. I can change the email in "My E-Mail Address" section, but I don't want to: on the contrary - it's the right one, it's the address I would like to use as a login when I sign in istead of the current one. Please help me!

How do you sign in to your Profile?

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 16:30:03 Z

I am signing in again with a new profile in order to enquire about my original profile for these forums. When I began to Ask a Question yesterday, I was asked for a Profile Name, which I gave as Caillah, and I proceeded with my question. My question is still out there with my name on it. Today, I notice that at the top right hand corner it asks me to Create a Profile. I can't access my profile as Caillah, nor am I likely to receive an alert to any answer. I did not get any option to set up anything in the profile or set up an email address or any other information. When I return to this site, how do I sign in?

My Droid and the Body field

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:40:03 Z

I try to tap in the body field that appears to reply to a message and it flashes for a half second, as if it's going to open the virtual keyboard on my Droid, but then doesn't continue.

First site I've come across that behaves that way.

Is there a way in the forum profile to change the behavior of this field? Or a specific URL to use instead of this one for mobile devices (if it doesn't automatically detect it)?

Proposing as Answer on threads you start

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:13:36 Z

On one of my posts on a thread (here ) I decided to Propose as Answer. I can do so on every other thread, right? But this one I started, so I can mark answers but there is no Propose as answer button, so with a bit of curiosity I found this out... Let's look at the screenshots...

First you see what post I am trying to Propose on.

Now that we opened the link in a new tab, this comes up.

As you can see, the 'set' in front of the 'Answer' denotes the Marking as Answer, replacing that with 'propose' gives this:

Now just place a check in the box...

and pressing Submit delivers this:

So I can't Propose Answers on my own threads, yet I can propose answers everywhere else? This doesn't make sense to me, please explain.

<div class=body>In tried to boot from cd but when i try to install about 2 minutes into install i says to reboot from hard drive</div>

Many of us have experienced the inability to re-edit our posts at one time or another. Either we are greeted by raw html, else a pure white page where our text formerly was. I just ran into that a moment ago. Studying and experimenting with it, I found this tag <div class=body> had somehow been captured in the quote. That was the source of the problem.

What could be the problem and can anyone offer a fix?
