If the user wants the answer to be sent per email... it is his/her fault and if he/she receives spam... I think it is not a CP's problem.
Not writing your personal contact info in "opened" forums is common sense.

That's actually the lesser of the problems. The greater problem is that by responding directly to the poster, the rest of the community looses out on the answer. If the poster wanted a private, individualized answer then the question shouldn't have been posted on an open community discussion board.

Those who have been on the discussion forums for a while never entertain or support those private messaging statistics. Isn't it?

It's not a question of how long one has been participating in the forums. It's an issue of providing a private answer to a public question.

it's also generally unneeded except when it's a consistent error, or bad enough to be confusing. Also this board goes direct to Chris's inbox and he'd prefer to keep OT chatter to a minimum.

Somewhere else, there was a text called 'Bonus levels are not valid for Gold Members'. I believe, it used to appear in the User Profile pages. It is mysteriously missing.
I think some truant hamster had run away with it. Let a CP Team come for the day and they would help us catching it and getting that text reinstated back into an appropriate page.

And that is probably him who took my silver status away, then. After all these years...

Only up to Silver. For Gold you need articles and messages, and for Platinum you need articles.

Good point. Chris, is there a reason Leckey got to retain her gold status while the rest of us lost ours? Or is it just a bug?

She got her old status by the number of messages she posted.

OK, I get it. The way the criteria reads is a bit confusing.
"Each 500 messages posted adds one level, and if a member has posted a message then each year of membership adds 1 level until the member hits Silver." suggests Silver is the best you can do with messages (the whole ", and" part threw me off).
Maybe "Each 500 messages posted adds one level up to Gold, and if a member has posted a message then each year of membership adds 1 level until the member hits Silver." might take some of the confusion out of it.
I take it that once I reach 1500 messages, I'll regain Gold status and get to play with the big kids again?
Cheers,
Drew.

I do believe it is... If you look at the OP's profile page, you can see the same situation.

I was searching for 'Websense' in Lounge with date filters like 1 June 2004 to 1 June 2008 and chose the following from the search results:
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/View.aspx?fid=1159&msg=1769098[^]
I was able to view the search results but when I clicked the next page, it takes me back /Lounge.aspx instead of the pagination in search result.
I also observed this in 'Current Bugs' as here (Forum navigation for old messages not working correctly. Also navigation after posting new message being weird) and hence thought if the following workaround could help:
To minimize the server load, only that thread set can be fetched instead of the context. It currently shows the context of the thread in the entire Lounge and the page numbers were displayed as 8663.

Thanks
