A new problem [to me].... I got repeated "an error has occured" messages in trying to post a Reply, but I kept trying, and eventually got this:
Of course I posted [tried to post] the same message more than once, because it never got through. Since it didn't, how can that be "flooding"? Something registered its arrival or it wouldn't give this error, but it didn't register so thoroughly as to show up in the Topic.

I also raised objection to emojis, specifically that one, >here<. I hope squeaky-wheeling in multiple places will get some attention paid to the issue.
Well, the >here< location cited was in the former Community Feedback Forum that we can't reach any more. Today, that issue reared its head again, but with a twist. At one time the 8-plus-) combination turned into the sun-with-sunglasses emoji, so you could at least notice it easily when posted. Currently, it doesn't do that any more, but simply disappears. In an exchange today, a routine that someone copied/pasted failed in loading as a result, and it took a while for someone to notice the missing code characters, but thankfully someone finally did, and I was able to correct it by inserting a space between the 8 and the ), which fortunately doesn't prevent the code from working. The disappearance is more of a problem than the emojification, but neither should be happening, at least not within code windows.

It's ridiculous that a technical forum would behave this way (by default... sure give it as a option), but even more ridiculous that it behaves this way in a CODE window, tagged for LISP. See preview below.
This has been an issue for years and here we are reporting it again, expecting different results. I give up.

@rkmcswain I thought the whole reason for instituting the Code Window was so this didn't happen. ????

Fairly recently I've started to experience certain forum pages taking a long time to load with the below waiting message:
'Waiting for events.launchdarkly.com'
Browser is Edge:
I notice it in the Revit forums especially Revit Architecture.

I am seeing the same thing.
For me, the linked postings are generally to the Civil 3D forum.

Different timelines forget the order of them but basically current to older ones. the reason is its set to update with a login, no login no update

Is it possible to get code highlighting for VB.net. This is the most used language for the Inventor API. Code with highlighting is easier to read.

I can see that is an annoyance and a valid comment here.
I do, however, think that is kind of a first world problem.
I use Civil 3D and sometimes even use grading objects.
When grading objects behave the way they usually do,
a mere annoyance would be a welcome break.

@CGBenner why are you talking to yourself? @hfcandrew might be interested in your answer to his question.
I am impressed and really appreciate that you followed up on this.
It's not my question, but I understand you answer and understand that breaking the internal link would be bad.
It is not my area of expertise, but is seems to me:
- The program internal link is a link to a static URL
- The link on the Top Level Page is to the same static URL. Does it matter where the link is located on the Top Level Forum page. It is just a graphic representation.
- The Top Level Forum page could have the forum link in shown twice:
- The "Because* it is has always been there" location
- The "Logical" location
- Based on the "I found it in the last place I looked" rule**, this will not cause confusion.
It does not matter whether the user finds the link in the "Logical" location or the "Because" location.
In my mind, the judicious use of repetitive links is OK.
I suspect that the real reason is "I don't wanna!"
* My lovely wife and I (mostly her) reared four productive adult children.
I am aware of, support, and have used "Because" as a reason. I have even used "Because, I said so" as an explanation. In hindsight, I see that "Because" is more succinct than it is substantive.
When one of my offspring, bring this up, I tilt my head, furrow my brow, pause and say "memory is a funny thing ... " It might be more convincing if I smoked a pipe.
** The "I found it in the last place I looked" rule: Well, duh ... even I am smart enough to stop looking once I find it.

Dear Mx. Autodesk.
Your language launderer, Mx. Bowdler, found part of my post offensive. Specifically:
When one of my offspring, bring this up, I **** my head, furrow my brow, pause and say "memory is a funny thing ... " It might be more convincing if I smoked a pipe.
I am 69 years old, am aware of my surroundings, current events, and many current word usages. I try to be polite and feel that I am at least semi-literate. I edited my post to remove the offending word. It did not change the meaning but is ceased to be a common usage. The original fit nicely with the next three words which are also a common usage. Mx. Plant3D and Mx. MEP might have some thoughts on banning this word.
After careful consideration, I still think than MX. Bowdler is being more than a tad bit extreme. My usage was a common phrase, so benign that I am sure one could see it on "Wheel of Fortune." Pat Sajak would not demure. Strolling two words down, I would point out that "head" can have sexual meanings. Even I admit that the intervening word "my" was providential. If I were to post about decapitating male poultry, I would choose my words very carefully.
Mx. Autodesk, (may I call you Auto?) This is not the first time that this has happened. A few days ago, I left you a communique that Mx. Bowdler edited to read:
Auto, as your friend, it is incumbent on me to remind you that
one "Aw ****" wipes out 1,000 "Atta Boys".
Auto, I did not bother to react to this. There are a lot of substitute words that do not affect the intended meaning. I admit that my ends-with-t word is still not acceptable in polite society. Unfortunately, the Internet is not polite society. There is a lot of social on the internet, but polite is often lacking. My ends-with-t word is becoming more common and unfortunately approaching acceptance. I could, and will, chose better words if this is where the bar is set. I suspect that many younger community members would have made a mental substitution with an ends-with-k word. Mx. Bowdler would be shocked. Seriously, that is one reason that I don't care for this this particular bowdlerization. While the ends-with-k word has passed my lips, is has been very rarely, only verbal and never in a public setting. I prefer not to be associated with its use.
Danger Will Autodesk! ¯\_[oTo]_/¯ Danger!
Your flagship software has a native object, a vector connecting 2 points. I hesitate to use the word we are accustomed to, because it is also a drug-culture term. Auto, you may not be aware of this usage, but Mx. Bowdler appears to be familiar with some very down to earth usage. I am afraid of where this is heading. I suppose that I could get used to typing "vec2pts" but I will miss the "L" shortcut. I used the word "pipe" in the original reply, so it looks like that word and Civil 3D are safe for now. By the way, "Pipe" is a bonus word. It has both sexual and drug-use connotations. I suspect that "pipe" may soon become suspect. (One word - Two meanings - Same sentence! Ouch!) Be very careful, Auto. "Rail" is getting a lot of development attention in over in Civil 3d land.
Clean up your monocle, Auto and take a look around. It would be good if Mx. Bowdler loosened their corset before they succumb to the vapors and swoon. Wait. ... I might be better off if they tightened it even more.
This is far from the most important thing that I need to attend to, but I thought it should be brought to your attention. I will now move on to other things. Auto, I know that you are busy, but you might find time perusing the Ideas forums to be enlightening. I'm certain that you know how to find them.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
All the best,
ChrisRS
** End Sarcasm
Yes. Yes. Yes.
I know that Mx. Bowdler is an Algorithm or AI.
I have no preference. Choose whatever A-word you like.
I just want it to be less anɑl and more intelligent.
