I couldn't post over 10,000 messages to Code Project if I was curled up in bed.

I got the RSS link for Lounge... similarly do we have RSS for other tech forums??

One thing I've noticed when posting to the message boards is that blank lines are removed from pre tag sections. This doesn't happen when the pre tags are used in articles, only posts to the message boards.
For example, here are a few lines of code without the pre tag:
SomeObject obj = new SomeObject();
// Tell object to do something.
obj.DoSomething();
// Tell object to do something else.
obj.DoSomethingElse();
And with the pre tags:
SomeObject obj = new SomeObject();
obj.DoSomething();
obj.DoSomethingElse();
Removing the blank lines makes the code less readable. Is there a way to change this? Is there something I could do when posting to ensure that the blank lines remain?
Thanks!

Hmm. Works fine for Opera and Mozilla, but not IE. I've tried playing with the stylesheet but I can't seem to get it to behave.
I'm open to suggestions from the audience.

A workaround is to put a single space in the blank line
e.g.
Line 1
Line 3

Thanks for the tip. That's what I'll do for now.

Blank likes aren't removed in <pre> tags in articles, does that give you an idea as to the cause?

It's something to do with about a zillion nest tables in the forums vs 1 table in the articles. Unfortunately I simply don't have the time to dig in and dissect at the moment so I'm just going to leave it as-is and fix it in the new code.
David Stone and Shog are laughing and pointing at me, I just know it.

Knowing this, I always make sure there is at least one space so that the line is not removed.

Can we have an ignore list feature so that we can ignore certain users?
|

You have to have a feature for that? Can't you just ignore them...manually?

Yes, but they clutter up the place.

Part of me thinks this is a good idea, part of me prefers that there isn't a situation where an abusive member is ignored by the people most likely to report him and so is then free to cause havoc to those who haven't ignored him.

I can see where you are coming from.
How about a compromise? For example: If I'm ignoring a particular user then I don't get email notification if they respond to me. I see all their posts as grey. They can't use an email link to send me email. If I happen to be browsing a forum and I see they are up to no good, then I can still report them.

Also, if I see a post by a user I am ignoring, I don't get [reply] [email] etc. links at the bottom of their post - waste of bandwidth really.

Something i've been toying with for a while is a sort of "quick bio" feature, where when you click on a user's name above a post, you get a panel to the right of their post, displaying their ID, post count, article count, etc. (i think you know where this came from). Should such a feature ever be built into CP proper, it might become useful to add something else: user voting.
Votes on a user would effect the initial visibility of future messages posted by them, and would presumably decay towards Neutral over time.
And yes, this is getting into Slashdot territory, but at least voting on a user vs. aggregating post scores avoids directly penalizing users for occasionally posting on controversial subjects, while providing a quick way of recognizing The Voice of Experience in the forums. Assuming it didn't just lead to vendettas. But we're all adults here, right? *snicker*

How does one remove one's self from the CodeProject member list? The delete button seems to be missing.

In response to J4amieC who has since deleted his post:
Why did you respond to him? The more that people respond, the more it fuels his fire. Just ignore him...outright.

There's always been a lot of talk about the merits and the abuses of the voting system as it is currently implemented within CP. I don't know if this would be difficult to implement, but would it be possible to 'personalize' the system such that the rating that I see for an article or message is derived based upon a list of CP users that I supply. In this manner, there would not be one rating for an article, but rather each of us would see different ratings for an article based upon the user list we supplied. Using a system like this, would probably also mean that the weighting based upon a user's status could be eliminated and every one's vote would count equally. One of the negatives of a system like this, is that someone could abuse the system to determine what vote a user has given to an article or message.

We'd need to bring in some really fast, strong hamsters for that kind of heavy lifting. Interesting idea...
