Hi Brother Dave,
Too much time underneath my finger-nails, too many memories jammed at the toll-booth, all wanting to get on the freeway, as if they really had a job to commute to.
Veins on my hand, and old-age spots. Swore it would never happen to me.
No, I did not down-vote you, and I can't imagine who did.
best, Bill

Interesting! I'll add it to our test file and see if we can coerce it to behave.
Good one.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I think my password might have been compromised.
I received the following email:
A request was made to send you your email and password for the
Code Project login scripts. Your details are as follows:
Login email : blah blah blah
Temporary Password : blah blah blah
This request came from IP address: 117.196.102.180
I could not find a better way to contact you, that is why I post here.
I am looking forware to hearing from you.
Yours Faithfully,
Matin Habibi

The rest of the email you received should clarify the issue. Anyone can request your password, but as the email says, only you will ge the password, and the password itself isn't your actual password - it's a temporary password you can use to get back in to your account. If you remember your old password after a new password has been sent, just login with your old password (as long as you haven't logged in with the temp password - doing so makes it permanent).
We store passwords using one-way hashing, so we can't actually even retrieve your existing password.
To summarise: your password hasn't been compromised. As soon as you log back in with your current password the temp password is deleted.

GeoIP tells me that the IP you mentioned is located in India, and as far as I know CP has no servers there. Do not respond to that email.

The email came from our servers. The request for the password came from India.

Yes, I noticed that too, so probably just consuming space...

I like it, but could we change "HTML" to "As it is" or "HTML/As is"?
At the moment when you paste straight text,it isn't that obvious what type it should be.

Agreed, also the code block option could have the same language choices as when you hover over code block button above the text field.

No worries. Next release

Hi,
I guess this has been already talked over, but would it make sense to have ability to upload different kind of things as attachments to a question. For example pictures, source code etc. I understand that this is like a pandora's box but perhaps with some kind of limitations. For example:
- when asking a question, adding a picture would be possible but not adding a project etc. So the person asking the question would still have to think about the question and phrase it properly
- when answering a question certain amount of source code etc could be possible to add to the answer
- there would be a limit for the total amount of 'used bytes' per day/week/month
- the byte limit could depend on the rep points etc
Why I'm asking this is because in many cases people either share a picture via another site or it could be useful to the question (or answer). In my opinion, having the capability at CP would simplify such situations and also the question/answer wouldn't depend on other sites.
Also since there's already a mechanism showing the source code (in articles) I think uploading a source file or even part of a project wouldn't make the answers difficult to read or find as long as the site search would also cover these files.

High rep (platinum I think) authors get a My Uploads section I believe - at least that's when it appeared on my profile.
|
|
|
|
|
That's good news, however it's a bit different category since in that category rep points are based on articles, not answers. For example I don't have that section in my profile (or at least I didn't find it).

This is in the works.
