I am really confused and eager at the same time to know why this article is being showcased as a featured article of ASP.NET section?
Drag And Drop Using Java Script[^]
There is nothing in it...absolutely nothing! what are we suppose to understand from this step of CP?

| Thank you. There has been a bug in the works for a while and I've never been able to catch it. I think I've just squashed it! cheers,

| Hey, this was a great article. It shows you how effective his code is. It even managed to drag the article's entire contents and drop it in the trash. Please do not read this signature.

I'm not sure if it's just my bad vision or if it's a bug, but I've noticed (especially in the Lounge) that threads that weren't there before suddenly show up in the thread listing. It is not a totally new thread, it has just happened to me again with a thread that was posted almost 2 hours ago. The thread stays in the listing afterwards, it doesn't disappear or anything.
I am more or less sure (like I said, it *could* be my vision  ) that the thread weren't shown before.
Has it got anything to do with how the system works[^]?

| This could certainly be an issue with the caching as described in the link. I moved a thread and it could cause some jumping around if the cache was out of sync between servers. The servers should sync up quickly. cheers,

I can reply to a removed message, but that's not so bad.
Whats worse is on the reply page I can see the original message
See this[^] message if you want a test case that's where I noticed it.modified on Thursday, March 18, 2010 10:48 AM

Can we agree to call that a feature?
Anyway, what is it you would like to reply without seeing the original message?
|
|
|
|
|
Happy?
No what I was trying to say is:
The reply link being there would also be a bug but if we weren't able to see the original post it wouldn't be a bad bug.
Since we can see the original post on the reply page it kind of defeats the whole purpose of the delete feature.
And if this bug persist on automatically removed messages, then that would even be worse but haven't been able to test that.

|
|
|
|
for automatically removed messages I hope there is no reply link, and no way to still see them.
|
|
|
|
|
It isn't just found one that was removed
But still it shouldn't be there even for 'normal' removed messages.
|
|
|
|
|
Good feature... good to know and hope it stays.
Nothing against deleting your own posts, but after a certain time (and replies) I would prefer if users can not easily delete posts or as emilio[^] puts it: "Let further readers to be able to figure out what we are talking about".

There's been more NSFW and borderline NSFW material into the lounge lately. My thought is that I should be able to safely click on and view any link that's posted on the lounge, without a second thought.
This is a global community, and the cultural differences may be acute. So, why argue if some material is not safe or not safe for work? If it's questionable, why can't people just use the soapbox?! For example, there was a thread yesterday on the lounge, which linked to pictures of giant wooden penises. I'm sure my boss won't be pleased if I sit and watch this from the office!
Here's a link to that thread: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/3406687/Spring-comes-in-Japan-modified.aspx[^]

I've moved this post. The Lounge should definitely be work (and kid) safe. Talk to posters (politely) to let them know, or let us know and we'll move stuff for mature audiences into the SoapBox.
Though that would mean I'd have to find a mature audience...  cheers,

Given that there are cultural differences across the world it is hard to judge what is or isnt acceptable in any specific situation, but 99% of members would know what has the potential to be considered near the knuckle, or indeed way across the line, and the simple expediant of putting a NSFW or KSS Caution before the link should be suffice, we are all grown ups (ok nearly all of us), and if there is something that seems like it may be interesting, wait until you are at home, not in the office.

Um forget about it Dave, the word has come down and the lounge is not a place to discuss anything that *might* be objectionable to *anyone* *anywhere* on the entire planet. I've yet to stand in a group of 3 people at a party and not see a topic come up sooner or later that was objectionable to one of them, how this new rule is going to work in practice is mystifying, should be interesting.

Chris, I think you made a big mistake moving that post. It's one thing to deal with porn and explicit sexual or violent images that way but caving for something as innocuous as a fertility symbol in a fertility festival is going way too far over the line into unnecessary censorship. If a person is at a sensitive workplace they should not be clicking on *any* links posted in the lounge, nor should they really be reading the lounge at all since it's not beneficial to their employer in any way.

The lounge is a place where every developer should feel comfortable reading while their boss, mother in law or kid sister is looking over their shoulder.

I would like to provide an area people can view if they work in a sensitive workplace. I know that trying to keep conversations mature and above the belt is a strange thing to find on the internet, but I though it would be nice to at least try. The Soapbox is specifically for those who want to discuss things that fall outside this.

That's not for me or anyone else to call - that's for the employee. I personally am more than happy for my staff to take occasional breaks and catch up with industry peers online.cheers,

So, my understanding about the lounge as a forum was correct - which I could read if I work in a sensitive place, which I could read if my kid sister is peeking over my shoulder.
And most importantly, thank you very much for doing the right thing, and thank you for providing me a safe place (the lounge) for discussion, while the 'mature' ones can still get their stuff done at the SB.

Well it's your site to do with as you see fit and it's a bit refreshing to see the "iron fist" once in a while , however judging by your response I can only assume you never actually looked at the page linked to, it's pretty innocent innocuous stuff.
This is just the sort of slippery slope that leads to images of the statue of David being banned etc etc.
I thought the voting system was in part implemented to police community standards.

Here's a suggestion: publicly ask in the lounge that anyone who posts a link to anything that is undoubtedly safe to view at work or with children present be labelled as a safe link. And that everyone will assume from that point onwards anything no explicitly tagged with a safe link comment will be considered unsafe and shouldn't be opened.
That way you and everyone else that has these issues is covered and the rest of us can just click at will.

So are we assuming here that most of the threads unsafe? 
Thought should be other way around... if not a safe link or so... mark it 'Careful/Unsafe' !
