Maybe delete the message content and keep the message head, with a default "This post was deleted" text or something?

That was before like this, and we ended with pages of forums full of "message removed" every time our lovely spam-buggers sent a new wave. After that this new methode was introduced.
For me... hanging messages could go to oblivion too, the biggest part of time is not "relevant enough to keep".

Alternatively, keep an "x message(s) removed" placeholder message in the tree unless all replies have also been removed or deleted.
But of course, it's easy to suggest such things - we don't know how much blood, sweat, and swearing the implementation would cause for Chris.

I agree, show some info of a deleted message to clear any confusion.
The way I understand it is that when a profile is deleted, all messages linked to that profile is as well, maybe where the mishap came in?

We've all seen posts in QA where code blocks are littered with ="" decorations. The usual response has been to assume that the OP has done something wrong when cutting and pasting the code. But I have an example here where there is no cut/paste operation being used, and still the ="" decoration appears:
In this case, it seems to be something to do with the octothorpe (#), the forward slash (/) and possibly the < and > symbols as well. Maybe there's an issue in the markdown processing?

I've been bitten a couple of times. I work around it by replacing the literal < with the encoding <.
(Both encoded another level as I type this, of course!)

My company has recently strengthened its email spam blocking algorithms, and as a result the Code Project Daily Insider is not getting through to me. My system admin says the email "is non-compliant and incomplete and we can't process it...It is missing a message-id and, more importantly, a recipient...I suspect they're doing something with BCC which makes me think it's some super old code that doesn't properly manage user emails...Google/Hotmail/etc. are typically more lax on these standards, though they have announced crackdowns coming soon, so who knows what that will lead to, but right now, our servers are not getting enough information to deliver the message." We use ProofPoint to inspect and filter email messages before they hit our servers, and it's also possible ProofPoint is doing something to the message before we see it.
This is how the messages are coming into our firewall:
If anyone has suggestions on what can be done to fix this problem, it would be much appreciated.

I noticed twice that a thread has irrelevant answers listed under it and the title is different. In both cases it happened when the post it was answering to has been deleted due to abuse/trolling.

I reported a post as 'inappropriate' which was actually Exhibit A here. It's an orphan post linked into the wrong thread.

This is starboard view and under my green umbrella is one of the peculiarities. No tooltips; and incidently, if I mouseover the arrow here I get a webpage address (in Edge).
I like bugs though ...

Well at least the bookmark flap and the report dropdown is back so let's call today's resonant vibration a win for the home team.

Not sure what you mean... For me all download links work.
Also scanned them with Cortex XDR and all looks good.

Sorry, I mean not the download links, but the download graph in the statistics page.

I am new to the forum and the answer response form (which is heavily code orientated... fine).
What I see as the suggested PREVIEW - does not seem to end up as the resulting output once submitted?
Not sure of the purpose then of having a PREVIEW section, which is deceiving and a waste of time trying to format correctly before submitting?
|

I (like most people here) have been using these forums for just over 20 years, and the preview display generally works correctly, and shows what will be the final post. You need to provide some more actual details as to what you saw at each stage.

On multiple attempts of submitting, it seemed to alter slightly to greatly (slightly = some changes, layout different.... Greatly = where it reformatted the text into a compacted html tagged type output of a different look completely).
The 2nd image showing the submitted answer (just now) is what I would suggest is a "slightly altered" view.

Sorry, but I cannot see any differences between the preview and the final response.
