Leaving rep no longer causes an immediate page refresh.
The old version seemed pretty smart about how much redrawing was necessary (not much usually).

The preview pane for messages grows a little past where it should stop when pasting code. See attached screen shot with a very unhappy avatar.

OK one more bug... If you edit a past you have already created then add some code in there with code tags, click "Go Advanced", then preview your post -- it will not render the code inside of code tags. If you submit anyway then it will show up with code tags but the preview function is broke if you edit posts after the fact.

Seems that way. Before I gave you reputation on your post, you had 485 points:
Afterwards, you had 508 (notice the extra dot beside your profile):

"Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal."
Another bug I already mentioned can also be seen in John's attachments.
At the top of the second pic it reads: "Community reputation points awarded: 508" which is Dani's rep.
At the bottom of the second pic, it reads: 967 points total. Which is John's rep.
Neither does reading a thread.
Also when you edit a post and press 'back' on the browser, your post will disappear. This bug has been in DW before (like a year or something ago.)

I find this solution extremely distasteful. You can't make those old language tags backwards-compatible? For a long time now, we've been posting (and telling other people) to highlight their code with, for example [code=cplusplus]. While defaulting to the language of the forum might work for most snippets, a lot of code that's been posted in a different language will now be highlighted with the wrong syntax.
What about shell scripting? Do you just assume it's bash?

The "967 points" thing was unchanged by my rep (compare it with the first screenshot), so I really have no clue what that's supposed to be representing.

After you hit the "Go Advanced" button to post on a thread you have an option to insert an email link. Shouldn't that be removed since daniweb tries to keep discussions on-thread? Email me!
Also when you use the EMAIL tags it links to a page that doesn't exist and you get a 404. Click on the email me link above
