That depends on the context and intent. If it were as a pejorative expression then Mothers Day is the correct usage.

Wouldn't "mother of a day" be more apropos?

I have noticed for quite a while that when I get an email notification, the links are not correct. Oddly, they seem to take me to an error page that has a link to where I need to go. It seems odd that the email link doesn't take me right to the page.
Here's an example. I received an email notification that contains this link:
http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/LINQ_1.asp?msg=2031715#xx2031715xx[^]
When I go there, it is a Page not Found error page, but has a link to the correct page. Odd. Also, in the email, there is the message "Do not hit 'reply' to this email: To reply, click here." When I click the link, it goes to the same error page.
The emails I receive have been this way for as long as I can remember.

Sometimes when an article is moved the location of the forum isn't updated at the same time. A proper fix is in the works

See This[^]. Got this when I take CP forums on firefox browser. A refresh made the screen ok. But why it is happening ?
|
|

|

The stylesheet didn't get loaded. A refresh will fix that (as you saw)

I too encounter this problem on slow connections.

I noticed this on CoffeeGeek.com during the sign up process:
Please note: All new CoffeeGeek accounts are under a five-post probationary period. Under this probation, you will not be allowed to post an unsolicited recommendation or endorsement for any company or service. This policy is in place to prevent "shill" postings, which is a forum posting made to look like a consumer endorsing a business, but is most times the business themselves promoting their own company. If you make a post promoting a new business within your first five posts, your posting will be deleted and your account could face suspension.

Have there been recent posts on CP that promote a company or service? The only thing I have seen is what people put in their sigs, which pretty much get ignored unless it's really outrageous.

|

Well, I tried to promote myself as a gigolo, but nobody was having any of it
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

Yes there have been, many over the years. A simple query of the lounge post database showing posts where a new user has made only 1 or 2 ever within minutes of creating an account then no more after that would reveal them. The most recent was some kind of conference with two separate accounts posting nearly the identical message, I forget what it was exactly but it was clearly an attempt at viral marketing.
It's no a huge issue I know, but I consider the suggestion board a hopper to throw in anything that might be useful and I'm certain we're going to see a rise in this kind of marketing attempt in future.

A suggestion for our weekly poll. 
Send Paris hilton to jail?
1. Yes
2. No
Send the results to her website...;P
V.
I found a living worth working for, but haven't found work worth living for.

5 vote for the idea

With time off for good behavior, and time off because the jails are crowded, they're going to be processing her release paperwork as soon as she's checked in.
|
|

Allow me to predict the results:
1. Yes 12456 100% *******
2. No 0 0%

Mate - have you busted our forums? 
Thanks for the report. We have an email component that sends out a confirmation address on signup and sometimes that reports an invalid address, even when the address is correct. It could be the server on the other end thinking we are spammers and pretending no one is home.

Since MVP status is based on how high a user's average message rating is, how about displaying a user's average rating in their profile? There's already an average article rating. Why not have one for messages?
Trinity: Neo... nobody has ever done this before.
Neo: That's why it's going to work.

Average rating and an average of messages that send at the day.

Hi,
First of all, thanks for the site. It would be very very difficult for me (and for many people) to learn how to do things correctly without your help and all the people that contribute here.
I would like to propose one thing. When one is reading an article, one has the possibility to add comments, ask things, etc... below the article. To navigate in this "posts" there are three buttons: "First", "Prev", "Next". But...
How about a "Last" button?
The post is organized with the newest messages first and the oldest at the end. Personally, I find better to start with the oldest message, because the problems are most of the times before the solutions and it is possible to find the same problem that one is having in those posts.
To go to the oldest... it is necessary to go through all the pages (some articles have a lot of pages), and then to come back to the beggining another time as the messages are being read.
Because of that I would like to ask the site-admins to add the "last" link-button to the template of articles' sites.
That's all.
Thanks a lot

M.D.V.
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Maybe we should add an option to order the messages oldest to newest.

Nothing much to say, really. My opinion is that moderation will make the forums (programming forums) a better place.

Shog on learning VB6: Ah, that would have been VB6. Kicked my ass anyway.
So easy to learn, just like falling down a flight of stairs...

I think the forums can look out for themselves. Look at what we have survived so far - kyle, link2006, jeremy, etc., etc. The forums are still healthy, and we always have the Abuse button, and there's always the Court of Last Resort (aka email Chris).
