In the message editor, it would be great, if there were KeyBoard Accelerators for B, I, < >, link tags right?
That would avoid expecting the user to jump between keyboard and mouse and focus on the message.

I'm concerned that these options are themselves being abused. I've noticed what I consider innocuous posts being removed. What is more disturbing is that I see specific posters being targeted. Tonight a completely harmless post in the Lounge was removed.
Is anyone else bothered by this?
My suggestion is that the option be removed or at least up the threshold so that it's not so easy to remove a post.

As far as I can see the whole voting thing is being abused.

There seems to be a group of people quick to rate a post a 1. I've noticed this a lot in the Lounge. However, even with a low rating, a post is still there for others to read and judge for themselves. Once a message is deleted, it's no longer available for the community to read and decide for themselves whatever merit it may have. This becomes increasingly frustrating when a message has several replies before it was deleted. Reading those replies, you have to guess as to the contents of the deleted message.
For obvious spam, e.g. "Visit my website," this isn't much of a problem. But my impression is that most deleted messages are not spam but rather messages that for whatever arbitrary reasons offend the voters.
I think the intentions behind "Report as Spam or Abuse" option are good, but I don't think it's working out to the benefit of the posting community here at Code Project.

True. We also have a Univoter Virus which keeps striking every now and then.
There is more a mis-use and ABuse than use. CP Team has to bring in more resilence to it.

Is it not checked by CP staff?
I would have guessed that everybody could mark a message as spam or abuse (which I also would change to at least 'Silver' members and higher), and only the CP staff is able to remove the message.
All the best,

True.
Voting rights needs to be vested with responsible members only.

Hey Chris & Co, in the SoapBox,I tried to Select the text, and to click the Quote Selected Text it is not working.
But while doing that it says Done. But with Error in Page it says.?
What could be the Reason?
I tried for so many times it says the same always.

Did you ensure the page loaded completely for any dependency .JS files for completing the download? Because, I guess 'Quote Selected Text' is by far the most heavily used feature in CP messageboards and I don't think CP Team would have left it untested.
It works for me even in this post too.

Kyle.... It just doesn't have the same ring to it as "Khaaaaaaaann" (a la Jim Kirk in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)

Hello,
Would you please consider listing the number of search results returned from a query (or number of pages). Sometimes when searching for an article where I know some of the keywords, I have to browse through a bunch of articles to find the one I want, and it would be nice to know in advance if I'd have to potentially browse through 1000 articles (in which case I'd revise my search terms).
Thanks,
Phil

And also make the number of returned results per page configurable.

This will be added

I was just curious about this dropdown and researched through the FAQ but I don't see it explained.
Message score threshold
|
|
|
|
|
I would assume that it means you only see messages that have scores above that threshold, but from what I can tell it doesn't do anything... maybe there has to be a certain number of votes for it to be considered, or something.
|
|
|
|
|
AFAIK it's the number of votes needed to gray a message out for a low score. Highly nonintuitive, and I suspect originally used for something else.

When a new message is posted in forums/Lounge, it appears in Homepage right? But why not messages from Soapbox?

One of the reasons the SB was created was to keep some of the 'salty' thread titles off of the homepage.
