Thank you.

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?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I request you to edit the link to that solution as it now points to the question which may confuse some of us.

If you pay attention, I have just linked the question, not the solution. Solution 4 is just information in bolded text. That's to avoid the bug reported by ProgramFox some days ago.

Bug: If you link to a solution, and it gots deleted, then you see no other solutions at all.

That's why I just linked the main question

It got through while I was adding a message to it: Create Database Tables for ASP.NET Build in Membership, Role and Profile[^]
From this: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=9525588[^]

It has a link to the copied material, but there is nothing much else there at all...

Membership is long enough to know about rules... have you checked the rest of his articles?

ATM, I am not reporting user, only the article

I had a very quick look - bad timing, I'm afraid - and while two of them are massive amounts the same article, I didn't immediately see any plagiarism.

Another time?

I can remember reporting the article some days (maybe 2 weeks) ago.

I asked about the other articles and the account and you said that the rest of the articles seemed to be ok, but you had not enough time to check it correctly.

Article reported (again). User???

Forget it.... I got confused by the hamsters cache... I see now the other messages in this thread :S D'Oh! | :doh:

This post http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4734350/vochancer-program.aspx[^] from http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=10512708[^] smells strongly of spam to me.

Or is it a cut'n'paste of a homework question??

What say ye?

The first paragraph might make you think that it is spam, but it is just a homework question and the mentioned company is fictional.

Yes, it is just homework. There were identical posts a month ago where enhzflep found and linked to an even older, similar post.

This one[^] seems to be an exact copy of the original[^] answer posted by Richard.

By all means, the OP has even added wrong/obfuscating information at the end.

I don't think it's plagiarism: he is quoting Richards answer and adding a (wrong) conclusion to the end. He's trying to correct Richard is all.
