Ciao mio bello Commendatore,
Check out this MSFT Connect Bug Report page:
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/Feedback
I've got one in there now for markup corrections needed to be made to online MSDN pages...
Hope this helps,
Frank

Grazie. I didn't know that the Visual Studio feedback forums should be used for the MSDN forums feedback. Strange!

Prego. Yes, if you search in the dropdown list for the MSDN topic, you won't find one (unless I missed it somehow). So I used the VS one as closest to what I thought as appropriate.
My report is on correction of markup...removal of the xml prolog and comment preceeding the xhtml dtd, which occurs on almost every online MSDN page. The current markup used in these web pages puts IE6 & IE7 into QuirksMode and results with Syntax errors every
time a dev wants to access these pages for info. This problem is quite well know amongst web designers, so don't ask me why these pages are written like this. It's driving quite a few users out of their skulls.
Hope you get your items posted.
Ciao,
Ciccio

What do you see?
littleguru, please remember;
Enter is a new paragraph.
Shift + Enter is a new line.
Hey littleguru,
Feel free to contact me as well -- I'm the Product Manager for the forums on the Community Technologies Team (TechNet and MSDN Blogs,
forums,
Tagspace, etc). Many of the points you raise wrt the post editor, search, and UI are being worked on for the next version of the forums. As we're working to improve the overall experience, your comments couldn't be more timely.
best regards,

One thing that got me about them forums was, I used to regulary go on there to see if I could answer anyones problems. However I found that I would answer someones question in detail spend a bit of time on the answer and get sod all recognition.
Then a 'MOD' would come along say 'look here' post some MSDN article and give himself the credit. GRRRRR!
I got over it eventually but only just

Well I knew that, but it's so much fun to copy and paste code and rework all the code.

Give it a nicer UI and a better experience.littleguru,
Jeremy forwarded your post over to me. I currently own DevDiv's engagement on the MSDN Forums, and I've definitely felt your pain over the past year. I am working daily with a developer on my team to fix the bugs with the post editor--the new version should
no longer change sizes of text after you hit enter, should format code correctly, and shouldn't render smileys in the middle of a code snippet. I'll keep you posted on the improvements.
Please email me at joemorel@microsoft if you have any comments or questions!
