Hi Chris,
A little more information on the issue. I believe the problems I encountered were due to a stale cookie after I performed a logout. I was able to get a password change to take after clearing the cache.
I also changed the password on an ancient account that I created a few years ago when I could not log in using my standard account. Perhaps deleting cookies on logout would mitigate the problem?
Deleting a cookie on logout also helps ensure that private data, when no longer needed, is not lying around. If there is data available, it risks being stolen. If there is no data, there is no risk.

We do delete cookies on signout (that's how we make you signout!) but occasionally cookies are sticky. I've seen this mostly in Firefox - sometimes it just doesn't want to let go.

Instead of text when quoting a smile could you provide the markup to show them instead?

I do for most, but some I deliberately leave obfuscated.

Ummm, at least in FF 3.0.9. They all are obfuscated, which is what I thought was the behavior when I originally posted.

Those names are the ALT text for the smileys. Where are you seeing them in plain text form?
What you should be seeing is

I got the alt text, by selecting the smiles in my previous post and clicking the quote selected text button.

I don't think I've ever seen the markup come through when quoting before.

It finally clicked. Your quoting smilies.
More coffee please.
I'll dig in.
The issue is that different browers return different things for images, and there's not a lot for me to grab onto. Firefox returns the ALT text (which is what you're seeing), so I could possibly decorate that with a keyword so when "GRIN [CP smiley]" (for example) is returned I can map that back to  , but IE doesn't return anything for images so I'm outta luck.

Chris,
I get email notifications whenever someone posts a reply. The email always comes from [forums at codeproject dot com].
This past weekend, one on Saturday and anther one on Sunday, I received post reply emails, but instead of the usual forum email address, the emails came from the users email address. In both cases the post was deleted by the time I checked. When I clicked on the link they were both gone.
Is this typical? I have not encountered this before.

Are you sure they weren't direct emails using the 'Email' link? These send emails to you and do not appear in the forums themselves

Ahaa! my bad. My eyes fly the top of the email and go direct to the message.
Forum email has this on the top
An answer has been posted to your message at <insert forum name>
and Direct email contains
This is a direct email response to your message on the page <insert forum name>.<br />
This message has not appeared on the discussion board for that page.
Sorry for the inconvenience. You are right, they were direct emails. Better read the whole email next time. 
p.s. I sent you an email couple days back about my alias. Did you get chance to look at it.

It's finally fixed? 
If you don't mind my asking, what was broken?

Some old code from the beta testing days was left in that was acting as a safety switch to ensure that beta testers would not inadvertantly involve non-beta testers was being a little too keen on stopping emails go through in that it could not be convinced we were out of beta testing.
A large angle grinder removed that particular bur.

Just in case that wasn't clear...
A few times I answer a question on the C++ forum with something like:
----
I found an article that does exactly what you want, look at:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/buttons/GdipButton.aspx[^]
----
As you see, the text of the hyperlink has been set to be the same as the URL. I then had to go and cut and paste the title of the article in instead. This strikes me as easily automatable.
if (linktext.Starts ("http://www.codeproject.com/KB"))
linktext = LookupTitle (linktext)
Not real code obviously...
I'm struggling to think of a time the raw cp URL is useful. This could also be a good idea for linking to forum posts.
Keep up the good work,

It's been done for an hour or so.
It's the deploying that takes time
