I think you are new to CP. You will soon learn why it is not allowed here.  . And nobody recommends it too.

<img> is purposely disabled. You can use an image hosting site like tinypic.com to host the picture, and put a link in your post to the hosted copy.

Agreed, and I won't follow any blind links to hosting sites without reading replies. I refuse to risk trouble with IS/HR because some moron linked to something obscene and I followed the link. Embed images and that protection is lost, and i'll be gone.

Currently you have special icons for supporters, site builders, staff etc.
How about a special icon for members who have posted an article within the last 30 days? E.g. a little star on the head or something..

Noobs will be noobs.
BTW the adds are a small but necessary inconvenience. Just press ESC to stop the animating (unless it's Flash).

The new codeproject layout looks really messy in FireFox but fine in Internet Explorer. I have some screenshots if you'd like to see them.

Please email me (chris at codeproject dot com) the screenshots as well as the browser and OS version

I think, this is recently introduced feature. And appreciate it, to stop abusing the site.
But the scenario happens with me is, It gives same IP message, from m/c's within organization(and obviously).
I do feel, CP is accessed across organization. Can something done regarding this ?
|
|
|
|
|
actually, i felt that the message was not totally right. it tells me for example that someone at my ip already voted that post, even if i'm not at the same place (and being sure some where i am, no one could have done sucha vote, because at my GF's, no one does interrest to IT), but the fact is that I did already vote that post.

Its ok, if you are accessing CP from home. If i'm using it from my workplace, there are n terminals in my organization having same IP address to external world(through proxy ofcourse). In that case, only one person from organization can vote for message. Though , everbody is accessing site, from their terminal.

BTW, you are right about message content. I just wanted to put point here.

You got him wrong Toxcct. It's not about re-voting. It's about the proxy. Same happens here, Hundreds from my organization connect to the internet through the same proxy. So everybody would have the same IP when the connect to the Internet and here comes the problem. You will not be able to vote someone of who's also from the same company. I've seen it, and btw that's how I identify if they are from my company  . But I dont know how Chris is gonna address this, I really felt pity on him as he is already flooded with a zillion tasks. So I never raised this issue to him.

hehe.. anyway now it gets his attention
|

the restriction can be laid on the user id
first fact -- user have multiple ids
second fact -- i have only one id but have access to more than 10 ip addresses if i wanna do a multiple voting i can do that
voting is a thing that a user is going to do once at most until the user have some personal interest or a crack in head
(and in both conditions you cant stop him )

you cannot, as i previously said, voting now not only check the IP, but also the member who voted ; in that later case, a wrong message is sent, but still the ID is checked.

Haven't you seen a wink saying "You cannot vote twice" ? You cannot do that from the same user id.
|
|
|
|

and how long it gonna take making ten ids
i was just giving an example i usualy dont vote until i am satisfied with article and i never voted in messages

I see that CP no longer accepts characters such as ö. I suppose that filtering is a result of abusing the system. Could anyone please remove the following characters from the name filter:
- Ö U+00D6h
- ö U+00F6h
- Ä U+00C4h
- ä U+00E4h
- Å U+00C5h
- å U+00E5h
These are common letters in the nordic/scandinavian countries, as well as german speaking countries (except for å/Å).
It would seem that the range U+00C0h-U+01FFh is fairly safe for any name.

Let's not forget other languages such as the little hook under the c character or perhaps the accent mark both used in French, or the ~ above the n in Spanish, or that S like character used in German.
And if we "play our cards right" the ' mark used in gaelic surnames can be disallowed.
But will double-barreled names be allowed or not

You know - when I made the change I was actually looking at your name and praying a little "Forgive me Jorgön" prayer.
Unfortunately the characters you specified look too similar to their non-accented counterparts when used as part of a name:
John Simmons / Outlaw prögrammer
Christiän Graus
etc
It totally sucks but I'm trying to balance protecting the masses vs inconveniencing the few.
In the end, though, if it's an unpopular decision then I'm open to persuasion.
Vote 1 for allowing accented characters back in names
Vote 5 for removing accented characters from names

.. Hey never do that. CP is already getting spammed by messages from multiple accounts. Still If you do so, people here are so smart that they'll find it with few "Message Samples". But never do that.
