Heck id just make this easy for you Chris... if someone wants to go to the trouble of hitting modify, highlight all, delete then fine. This is more work than just hitting one delete link but leaves the actual message header in place thus preserving the look of the thread if not the content.
This should also happen to threads removed by spam/abuse reporting IMO.

I've asked for something similar to this before. The best would be to either remove the subsequent posts when the top level post is deleted, or move all of them to a "deleted" status that is hidden unless you explicitly choose to see it. Personally, I prefer the first option. It really gets bad when a post is removed because of spam or abuse, but all of the follow-up posts are still there.

That could be done, but sometimes the subsequent posts that follow the deleted one have useful information. I generally highlight the original message sometimes if it sounds okay, to prevent the original message from being deleted. I.e. a fair question someone asks, they get barked at for cross-posting, they delete all of their messages, others come along, see the topic in the subject line and become interested in it, so I try to keep most of it intact.

One thing I do not like about Code Project is the syntax highlighting in the PRE sections. In general it looks fine, but there are much better implementations out there. For example, Google[^] has one that looks really nice and has a button to "copy to clipboard".
Any chance of getting this intalled for use on Code Project?
Take care,
Tom

We have a better one[^] which will be rolled out as part of the rewrite.
The current one broke a while ago and it's been painful for us as well.

How do you say they are not edited. Unedited items come under /useritems/ virtual directory. Also a couple of randomly chosen articls show good number of votes earned too.

Hi
my point is just to highlight the problem.
yes there are, but my suggestion is to just
put them under DirectShow rather then DirectX
category, This way it will be easy for the
members and other to find them.
and get help.
Hoping you have understand the point.

Maybe this has been suggested before, but it would be nice to have faint vertical lines on a message board, especially when posts get more than two or three deep. That way you could tell which message a particular post is in response to.

I've thought about it a lot but always been scared by what it would do to the size of the download payload. Maybe something client side would work...

hi
I sent my First article on Sun 9/22/2007 6:56 AM (Indian time) but didn't received any confirmation for the mail reaching to 'submit@codeproject.com'.
Wouldn't it be better to just sent an automatic confirmation from 'submit@codeproject.com' so that it is easy to be patient while the article parse.
Thanks and Regards

Maybe you should wait until Monday before you get nervous

Would this help? I try and ensure that our editors get the occasional weekend off so a confirmation email would only serve to say "you sent us an email".
Please be patient. Your email will be given the attention it deserves first thing Monday morning.

What is this "weekend" of which you speak?

Maybe Chris is refering to a couple of hours somewhere between an Hawaian friday night
and an Australian monday morning?
