If you navigate to codeproject.com, you get redirected to http//www.codeproject.com (notice the missing colon after http).

You may have previously type this in your address bar and the browser is matching on this and loading it.
In IE: Open your registry and check your typed URL list; HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs
In both browsers I think you can start typing the http// bit and when you see the rest pop up, down arrow till it highlights and select the delete key.
Worth a check.

Nope, happens for me too in Chrome, FF, and IE8 (and apparently for others in IE9). Though, IE8 seems to handle it a little differently (performs a Google search for the invalid URL).

Doesn't for me, see my response below to my test.

Nope, happens in IE, Chrome, FF. Try it now yourself, type codeproject.com in your address bar. (Don't type www prefix.) You'll see it.

In Chrome if i type codeproject.com, it take me to CodeProject. In IE if i type codeproject.com, it takes me to google search with a list of results for codeproject, with This site site listed at the top of the results
|

FYI, Chrome hides part of the URL from you, so you are actually getting directed to:
http://http//www.codeproject.com
Very strange. I think this is probably a funky IIS setting on CodeProject's side (pretty sure it is an IIS setting that allows you to have site.com and www.site.com point to the same place).

Chris,
I have noticed that the filtering process used to prevent the links from displaying in the biography, does not prevent those links from functioning when the offending author creates an article.
The account that I just reported in the Spam Watch forum, had created an article which shows the functioning links, but the same links are just text in the member profile biography section.
Edit:
Here is the link to the article, and you can see the links still present in the biography section.
Black Friday Deals[^]
Also, the account is trashed but the article is still in moderation, thought the two should be linked, one going takes out the other.

I was thinking about this before relating to the spam accounts handling on the site, and the effort that goes to the copy/pasting etc. into the new spam watch forum, but can equally apply to form messages, questions, answers etc, but the latest event got me thinking about it again.
Can we not have a suitable moderator panel similar to Articles/Tips etc?
Any reported object appears in this panel, and those with sufficiently high rep e.g. 2 out of 4 Gold/Platinum(whatever you decide) Authority on Author/Authority/Debator/Organiser have visibility. This panel only needs to show maybe top 5 current items, and has a link to a page with full table listing for performing the moderation.
On this table those with the suitable rep, can Agree or Reject, and if the net effect of Agrees/Rejects hits the trigger (5 or whatever) then the object is processed in the normal way, if it hits -5 then the item is removed from the report list as being classed as safe. In terms of Agree this would be equivalent of clicking a report item yourself and you would also be awarded the same rep points (5 organiser), a Reject would be equivalent of voting down, and would get 0 organiser, if the item is removed from the reported list then any 5's awarded are undone.
The table would have;
Object Type (Member/Message/Question/Answer etc.),Report Reason (Abuse/Spam etc), Link to Item/Object, # of Reports (the running tally), Agree Action Flag, Reject Action Flag
This would save a lot of effort particularly around spam removal and messages, but can also prevent the accidental flags/or invalid flags of member profiles.
Just a thought......

You'd have to ensure you couldn't remove yourself from the list...

Removing Jimmy Ropes for a brain fart is just ridiculous if you ask me. He's been around for many years and as far as I know he's not a troll
|
|
|
|

Seconded.
Don't know what Jimmy said, but it does seem harsh that someone who has been active for so long can be banned so easily.

I'd call his response a slight case of overbombing.

He broke the rules of the Lounge, but really, his punishment was excessive, and his account should be reinstated. Let's hope Chris agrees.

The problem as I see it is that it's to easy to just vote someone away.
One abusive post doesn't make a troll. Neither does an abusive thread. That could be just a bad day, or being drunk of course.
Several abusive threads on the other hand might.
So one possible way to handle the whole business is to make the "Vote to remove" button in the message, into a dropdown called "Report", having the choices of "Remove message", "Report abuse", <edit>Vote to move thread to backroom, "</edit>"Report troll" and "Report spam". Thereby making it possible to track bad behaviour in more than one dimension.
Well, "Remove message" would still be on just that message.
But the other choices would be checked against quality of reputation. Which could be measured by (upvotes - downvotes)/messagecount.
Or something similar. I'm pretty sure there are much more refined ways to make such a calculation.
If it's the first message it would of course render an immediate nuke of this user.
But if it is someone that's been around for a while it would take more messages and more threads to remove a user.
Just a thought.

Steps to repro:- Create a new post in the Lounge.
- Paste a URL - the URL is correctly inserted with the title highlighted.
- Edit the URL's title, then click at the end of the pasted content to continue typing.
- Click a smiley.
Expected result: Smiley is inserted at current cursor location.
Actual result: Smiley is inserted at start of text (before pasted URL).
All smileys inserted in this post are positioned after the last inserted one. Looks like the insertSmileyHere index starts off as zero and gets +=d with the length of the last inserted smiley.

Is it possible to add the saved queries as dropdown list to the search edit?

I'm not sure when it was changed, but now the member popups do not display member's join date, articles, or messages. I thought the purpose of including this information was to give some context, e.g., when a member asks a question, others can see if the question came from a newby, and so may give some further guidance.
Without this info, the member popup is now useless as a source of any context, and we have to go to member's profile page, like we did before.
Please change it back.

Chris,
When you read Hans message, can you also clarify what platforms this is working on, or is there still issues?
I have both the settings and the top of the forum check boxes ticked, and I never see the popups working, this is on Chrome.
Cheers,

Dave,
It wasn't working for me, either, until I clicked the Update button on the orange bar.

I tried that as well......
