    Did you make a code change yesterday?

    I've previous commented that I liked the new feature whereby I only have to start writing my standard explanation for why I have converted a dicussion type to a question type and the entire text I used in the past appears in the explanation box.

    The same applied to explanations of moves etc.

    The comment on that post from a MS support person was that it was a bonus result of the control they were now using in the code.

    Well this morning using a browser where this worked fine yesterday, it no longer works. Leading to me having each time to write by hand (yes, I know i could have it in Notepad and copy/paste but even that takes time) my little explanation text.

    Please put that control back !! It was a very useful function even though it was restricted to each browser (i.e. once I'd written it using one machine (Chrome) I had to re-enter the text once when using Safari/Mac.)

    We did no code change on Wed. WE did a code change today, but it shouldn't have changed this behavior. Oh, and that "support person" was our development lead, Sam... ;)

    I was either having halluciations or it still works in some browsers and not in others.

    I thought to myself before I posted "have I done this in this browser before" and the answer was "Yes", so I should have seen something. But temporary insanity is also possible.

    There are so many of you, Matt !

    Glad by the way to see the names of Proposers back following your code change today. Are there any more goodies I should look forward to seeing ?

    Mike

    (Or should I ask Sam :) ?)

    Later: Unfortunately the "Moderator" listing isn't back yet, so people are seeing that a "Mike Walsh MVP" has edited their post (Title) and not a "Mike Walsh MVP Moderator" which would make more sense (and not give the impressions that all MVPs can go in and edit posts).
