You had the "Are you currently in Daylight Saving Time?" checkbox checked. I've unchecked it.

Oh thanks. Can't the server find out the "Daylight Saving Time" automatically?
|

Daylight Saving time is a state-by-state and year-by-year thing and we simply don't have accurate data at hand to keep track of it based on members' locations. We can do some client-side stuff, though, so I'll add a note to do some magic and auto-update members' timezones based on that.

In the bottom of the forums, we have a page navigater which looks like this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Next >>
Could we just have that in the top of the forum too? It's a small pain to scroll to the bottom of the page to go to the next page. Especially when you're working on your mini laptop.

There are First Prev Next links at the top, just above the first message on the right.

Yes I saw them... since we already have used that space it would be great to have the pages too. Not a big issue though

Maybe you could do this:
[First] [Prev] [...] [Next]
When [...] is clicked, it could expand to show the numbers:
[Prev] [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9] [Next]
Maybe you don't persist it. That way, when a postback occurs, the user would revert back to the main view:
[First] [Prev] [...] [Next]
That would prevent you from having to remember that setting on a per-user case and having to provide a mechanism to collapse the numbers.
Probably too much work for very little benefit though. So, uh, my real suggestion is to change the top [Prev] and [Next] to match the bottom [« Prev] and [Next »].
While you're at it, maybe you should change [First] to [α First α].

When I get reply emails, they seem to have started ending in:
[SITE_NAME]
[SITE_URL]
immediately above the line:
Note: This message has been sent from an unattended email box.
It seems to happen to users who do have a link set in the profile page, and not those who don't.

Yes, my bad. We have two systems for replacing tokens and the wrong one was accidentally used after an update of email templates. I'll be fixing these at lunchtime today.

Recently I saw couple of duplicate answers(When you post an answer in Q/A section, there you could see double entry rarely). Sample one[^]. Also I saw others(SAKryukov, Uma Shankar Patel,..,). Isn't possible to restrict that? I think you can't post duplicate entry on forums(I saw message like "Item already posted there") when you try to do that.

I've had it happen to me a few times too - I suspect in my case it was "mouse bounce" and two "Post Message" clicks happening in very quick sucession (I did have a fault with a mouse button not holding cleanly).

No, there was some dirt in the uSwitch which caused "unclean" contacts - so it bounced, and released when I dragged, and so forth. PITA!

This is a current issue but we're planning on fixing this.

Hi,
When trying to access an article via mentor group, I always seem to get a message:
This article is still being written and is not currently available for general viewing.
This happens even though I'm participating in the CodeProject Mentors.
Is this because of my current Author level or what could be the reason?
|
|
|
|
|
Hmmm. Seems like it was a profile error. Try now?
Thanks,

Yes, now I'm able to open the articles, thanks

RJOberg makes a very good argument here. Balboos' post was reported as abuse. Heated and passionate, but not abuse. He still has to sit with that many points against him? This doesn't seem right not me.
I only bring attention to this because saying something offensive is not the same as being abusive. A one vote for offensive is Ok but -160 points for hurting someone's feelings is a bit much in my book.

The report system is designed to allow for members getting shirty and hitting it in anger. A post requires more than one person to knock it off. As to the spurious loss of points, that happens. Is there an alternative that provides a mechanism to report abusive messages while allowing free speech? Keep in mind that solutions such as "only allow this for members over X rep" don't work.

Having found myself dragged into this (or putting my foot into it), I noted one remark a few times, which is that 'Report Abuse is the New one'.
Here's a potential solution: don't give the report-abuse a point value (at least) until an item is actually considered abusive. This would, I conjecture, prevent the above paraphrased remark from becoming reality and simultaneously destroying the credibility of the abuse flag.
Seems like a possibly improvement if not solution.
