Question

One step forward and two steps back!

Hi

OK, latest idiotic problem.

I posted an answer to a question.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1162839/user-draw-toolstrip-menu-tooltips

I wanted to add 2 code blocks, one for each of 2 Forms . I had done this previously, but this time, I couldn't manage to add a second code block. OK, so I figured I would just add the 2 form code to the end of the first code block and comment appropriately. This did not go well as I ended up with a huge surplus of code which I AM NOT ALLOWED TO DELETE! This surplus was due to my copy/paste/paste/paste as it appeared to have not pasted when it just pasted it out of sight - not a very good idea.

Is this forum just someone's idea of a laugh?

Is the Microsoft standing policy - 'just release any old garbage and fix as you go along'

The old fashioned 1 step forward and 2 steps back!

I suppose my only option is to just leave the forum.

@LesHay thanks for the feedback - this is an issue we are working on relating to code blocks - bug got filed shortly after launch. We have also added a feature request to allow users to remove their own content.

We understand it can be frustrating, but we hope you will persevere as we work through these initial issues across the platform. This was a completely new build from the ground floor and once we resolve these challenges - we will then be able to innovate moving forward.

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

So, my guess of 'the Microsoft standing policy - 'just release any old garbage and fix as you go along' was right enough then.

I would say that building a code base this big is challenging and not without the need for fixes. We are filing bugs on these various things as they come up so the team can work on them moving forward.

We appreciate your feedback on all the items you have encountered so far. They will help the team get things sorted out and improved overall.
