CP Team,
An issue with Profile page entitled "Status?" is reported in Lounge with the permalink as follows:
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/View.aspx?fid=1159&msg=2383874[^]
The synopsis of the message is that the profile page is missing the level status like Gold, Bronze etc. While we just were having assumptions based on missing legend text, I felt I would bring this thread to the attention of Suggestions/Bug Reports Team so that a CP Admin can look into it and confirm on the same.

Currently, the Spam and Abuse carry the following tooltips
1) Mark as Spam<br />
2) Mark as Abuse
I guess, Abuse, is more severe than a spam and hence mere marking alone wouldn't be sufficient. A suitable tooltip change like 'Report Abuse' instead of as in (2) would instill a sense of confidence to the user.

The link doesn't report as abuse. It marks it as abuse. The titles are correct in what they do

But maybe threads that keep together regardless of the post count in the settings?

We had a thread not long ago that was 1000 post long.

I know, do you know how hard that was to read  Seriously, on normal posts that sometimes cross pages it can be a minor chore.

 How many did it stop at? Wasn't it something like almost 1,100?

Let's hope that is exceptional.
When it occurs one will probably not want to read it at all, so it could be handy to:
- know it in advance, (how about showing the number of messages at the first message?)
- have a "move to next thread" and "move to previous thread" button.
[ADDED]
People wondering the length of a thread may browse the pages just to find out,
creating unnecessary server load.
How about trying to keep threads on a single page, by:
- not starting one more thread unless it will fit the page
- and for the first thread on a page allow to exceed the requested number of messages
by a small factor (say 2) ?
IMO this would improve navigation and readability.

TIA

See subject. This is plenty annoying for those of us who like plain-text emails (i'm assuming it works for HTML-format emails simply because i don't see anyone else complaining about it, though i haven't tested that theory).

Yes I also have the same problem. The text format shows HTML tags.

It's on the list (well, on a list. Hopefully today)

Happens to me too. Why don't you reply to this and I'll forward you the notification I get?

As in subject!
I get notification emails when someone replies to a forum post but not when someone comments on the article.

I think they were due to timeouts or bugs. Seen any recently?

After reading (I think it was) Marc's comment about having profile redirects such as http://www.codeproject.com/profile/1796977 I was thinking about the "feature" I've been wanting for a long time, having "proper" urls for the forums such as ~/forums/csharp.aspx redirects to the C# forum.
Also this would help search engines such as Google because they (often?) ignore the query string completely so they can't differentiate very easily between different forums.
I've taken the liberty of putting together some urlMappings since presumably you have a web.config file in which you can use these.
Here it is: urlMappings.xml[^]

Not a bad idea (and thanks!) but aren't they ignored if you have query strings or even #'s appended?

What in the search engine or in the urlMappings? I'm pretty sure that they're not ignored by ASP.NET because I (think) I used a similar thing in a project I did a while ago.
Regarding search engines they ignore the query string from what I understand (well most of the time) so they can't tell the difference between the C# and the VB.NET ( ) forums because it's simply a parameter. However if you have the C# as ~/forums/csharp.aspx and VB as ~/forums/vb.aspx although they're mapped with query strings internally the engines can find out the difference.
So for example if you were searching for a problem in VB on the CodeProject forums in Google it would hopefully return the vb.aspx results first rather than references to VB in the C# forums.
If that made any sense at all...

I've noticed that at the article forum, if someone posts, I don't get an email notification. For the first one, after I reply and they reply to my reply its fine after that.
PS.
I've previously posted this in the lounge. I didn't want to delete the post from there as to not break anything, though I did change the menu. Sorry.
