I think it would be better to put the empty line break before the quote instead of after it. If you quote several things and comment them, it looks like the comment belongs to the following quote instead of the previous one.
I mean:
<blockquote class="quote"><div class="op">Quote:</div>Quote 1</blockquote>
comment 1
<blockquote class="quote"><div class="op">Quote:</div>Quote 2</blockquote>
comment 2
<blockquote class="quote"><div class="op">Quote:</div>Quote 3</blockquote>
comment 3
Gives:
Quote: Quote 1
comment 1
Quote: Quote 2
comment 2
Quote: Quote 3
comment 3
can it be changed?

You can work around it like this:
<blockquote class="quote"><div class="op">Quote:</div>Quote 1</blockquote>comment 1
<blockquote class="quote"><div class="op">Quote:</div>Quote 2</blockquote>comment 2
<blockquote class="quote"><div class="op">Quote:</div>Quote 3</blockquote>comment 3
But it's a bit tedious so I'd still like to see your suggestion implemented.

Just deleted an answer (my own) in Q&A and didn't get the 10 points deducted.

You put effort into writing that answer...As I see you should have got an another point for removing it after found it wrong (we all make mistakes)...

I agree with you in general - and maybe the admins will too. I just thought I'd mention it because it could be exploited.

Probably there is someone exploiting it just know, but fortunately "it is easier to catch a liar than a lame dog" (a poor translation of a Hungarian proverb)

I have approval privileges but have so far never approved an article. I'm not sure on what the process is or what to do. I'd appreciate some suggestions on what others do. What's the process? What sort of things should I be looking for when approving an article?
Any help much appreciated

Good morning.
The last saturday 23/01/2016, my account OMAR NASRI http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=7799248 . has been reported due to plagiarism,
because i forgot to put a references section in my latest articles (that was my mistake because im new in this topic : i start writing articles in november 2015) specially
in introduction chapters before i start the coding part. example :
- Creating a Search Engine using Lucene.NET : introduction,
- windows azure cloud computing : introduction,
as consequence my account has been closed.
it was a mistake to report me. However, I indicated the references of my documentation inside the content of article.
But i have not received any comments or notification from community just a report and ban.
I thought that when i publish my articles, i will receive help from experts , to correct the issues and help me to improve it.
how new authors can improve their skills if they don't receive help from expert ones ? because we are not born with this gift.
Also i repeat the only reason i joined code project is to improve my skills in writing and in computer sciences not to be banned or to be a troll.
Admins please can you help me to activate my account again ? because it will be a big loss for me
thanks
OMAR NASRI

Your account was reactivated, but it looks like you had enough new reports that your account was closed again.
On Monday morning Toronto time Sean will review the articles and your account.
I'm sorry but we get a lot of plagiarists, and a lot seem to operate on the "I'll do the right thing only if I'm caught". That's simply not acceptable and we have zero tolerance for those who copy others' work and pass it off as their own.
cheers

thank you sir, for your reply
this mistake due to be a newbie on this topic.
i think it will be better to remove article Creating a Search Engine using Lucene part 1 : introduction .
Because plagiarism comes from introduction chapters when i related to other source to build a documentation.
And i hope the next time, i will receive help from experts authors to improve my skills in writing.
i'm so motivated to continue my story with code project, and share my knowledge on computer science and be one of the active members in code project.
thanks.
OMAR NASRI.

Did you read the General FAQs of the site[^]?

You can still do it, just give the deserved credit to your sources

You will, if you ask for help. But plagiarism is not a problem with the skills, but a problem with the attitude.

That's fine and to be respected

Make sure it is yours
Hopefully you have learned the lesson. Good luck with Sean

Hi Mr.Chris Maunder.
Why decisions are so hard, this morning i received an email from Sean Ewington. that tell me i have no hope to recover my account.
I think everyone has the right of error.
and the best decison would be just deleting the articles with the most pourcentage of plagiarism, and if the member repeat it again his account will be deleted for ever. (I think no one have a time to do that).
because what I understood from his decision that : when a member sign up in code project, he should be a pro, we have no place for newbie to learn or to make mistakes.
But he dont give me a second chance.
I liked that the decision was more tolerable.
I think, my aventur with code project will stop here with 0 chance to learn.
before leaving, i want tell a suggestion to 'Bugs and Suggestions' team :
- reporting members is not a game. some people need coaching and you are here to help them by leaving a comments even if you do not receive a reply that's your job here.
you have forgotten that the existence of code project website was : listening and helping members with poor capacity in writing and programming to be efficient.
i wish you all the best.
thanks.

No one is stopping you from creating a new account. Your old account was closed but you aren't physically blocked from CodeProject.
As I said earlier: "a lot seem to operate on the "I'll do the right thing only if I'm caught". That's simply not acceptable and we have zero tolerance for those who copy others' work and pass it off as their own."
Plagiarism is a huge problem. We gave second chances, and third chances, and in the end we spent an inordinate amount of time trying to reason with people who insisted "it wasn't my fault, this is so unfair, just give me a chance".
I'm sorry, but our decision is final. Feel free to create a new account if you wish, but if you do please re-read the first clause of the Contributors Agreement[^] that you agreed to when posting.
cheers

Member 12282694 wrote: eporting members is not a game Indeed it isn't, which is a responsibility that the reporters take very seriously. Some people may need coaching but surely they shouldn't need coaching that they should not attempt to claim the work of others as their own. In a climate where litigation over copyright theft is very real, CP has to maintain a zero tolerance to plagiarism.Member 12282694 wrote: you have forgotten that the existence of code project website was : listening and helping members with poor capacity in writing and programming to be efficient. Nope. Don't see your point here. CP has never existed to satisfy the ego of someone posting an article - and plagiarism is about satisfying the ego by making people think that you have written something you didn't.Member 12282694 wrote: because what I understood from his decision that : when a member sign up in code project, he should be a pro, we have no place for newbie to learn or to make mistakes. We expect members to read the agreements they sign - when you submitted your article, you checked the box saying you understood the terms and conditions for posting an article. If you didn't bother to read them, then that is YOUR fault, not CPs.
Let's put this a slightly different way. How many articles do you think the moderators review? A reviewer may typically review 30 to 40 articles in moderation, a week. There are several hundred new articles posted daily so different moderators will see different articles. So, we have a situation where we have lots of articles being seen by lots of different people. How do you think we would keep track of people who broke the rules more than once? Who do you think would enforce this? Why should we have to complicate the lives of people who know how to read and understand the rules for the sake of people who are too lazy to look them up? You don't have to be a professional to do that.

What happens now:
1. in my settings I have both allow-private-e-mails and notity-by-e-mail-on-response disabled.
2. I post a message to a forum, like 'Algorithms
3. I enable notification by e-mail of responses to that post
4. the global settings are then changed ... both of them are now enabled
What should happen:
1. changing the privacy settings for one post should not change the global settings
thanks, Bill

"should" or "I would prefer if it..."
We originally had it as you preferred it to be. However, we had complaints that "settings were not being persisted".
