Comment Post #282597 Yes. A basic database. Initial form creates a ticket record and sends an acknowledgement. Not totally public - unless you *want* it to be. I would design it so that internal users ("company") can see/update everything, external users can only get to their own tickets via special emailed links. What t...

Comment Post #282597 1 - No easy way around that. Either the system is a one-off send comments into a black hole and hope someone reads them *but never really find out*, or it has email as a way to communicate status & updates; 2 - That is a potential problem. The solution (typically) is to only send *one* acknowledgemen...

Comment Post #277083 of just once for the entire blob of code. I see the problems, I have a hunch on the solution, but not 100% there yet. And if someone else comes up with a solution first, that's fine with me.

Comment Post #277083 I'm not 100% of "how". But I *think* that this may get towards it. I think the solution is a combination of: Get a ```pre``` or similar element to provide "code style formatting" + "with wrap" **plus** use "first-line" to style first line of *each* wrapped code line one way and the subsequent lines a...

Comment Post #276266 [Seveneves](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seveneves) has that situation for part of the book, but it is in the middle so explained as things move along.

Comment Post #275866 All true about C-style for loops. I was trying to limit the answer a bit, including (I think) just enough to get the point across. "computer science discussions..."

Comment Post #75011 That is true in some cases. But in this case, I suspect (no proof, no time to research) that the "click" terminology may have actually started with the user side (mice were around before web browsers) and became entrenched enough, including the term getting into Javascript, APIs, etc. that now it is ...

Comment Post #74904 I agree with respect to "don't give OP a special vote" - i.e., OP's vote should not have any more or less value in terms of "points" than any other. However, there is specific value to other people answering (or considering answering) to know that OP has indeed solved their particular problem. It var...

Comment Post #74902 Quick review (OK, just read the first several and the last few) it seems that general consensus is "have an Accepted Answer option", "don't make it mandatory because it doesn't always work depending on the subject matter" and "definitely don't make it affect ranking or rise to the top automatically"....

Comment Post #39536 **Best practices** is a double opt-in like we have for the codidact.org announcements list - request just sits in an unseen pending queue until user verifies by Replying to (or clicking a link inside) the confirmation email. No idea what would be involved to do that for QPixel. I have written such th...

Comment Post #39536 This is, unfortunately, an ever-growing problem. On a synagogue site I maintain where I used to get a handful of spam signups a month, I have started to get a dozen or more every day. In that case, I renamed the original signin script and added a message on the registration page to email webmaster to...
