You'd have to ensure you couldn't remove yourself from the list...

Yes, but it would be good to see when and what you are being reported for.........

Removing Jimmy Ropes for a brain fart is just ridiculous if you ask me. He's been around for many years and as far as I know he's not a troll
|
|
|
|
|
Seconded.
Don't know what Jimmy said, but it does seem harsh that someone who has been active for so long can be banned so easily.

Here[^] you can see it in Drews answer.
I'd call his response a slight case of overbombing.

He broke the rules of the Lounge, but really, his punishment was excessive, and his account should be reinstated. Let's hope Chris agrees.

We're working to make it safer. Or at least noisier for us if it happens.

The problem as I see it is that it's to easy to just vote someone away.
One abusive post doesn't make a troll. Neither does an abusive thread. That could be just a bad day, or being drunk of course.
Several abusive threads on the other hand might.
So one possible way to handle the whole business is to make the "Vote to remove" button in the message, into a dropdown called "Report", having the choices of "Remove message", "Report abuse", <edit>Vote to move thread to backroom, "</edit>"Report troll" and "Report spam". Thereby making it possible to track bad behaviour in more than one dimension.
Well, "Remove message" would still be on just that message.
But the other choices would be checked against quality of reputation. Which could be measured by (upvotes - downvotes)/messagecount.
Or something similar. I'm pretty sure there are much more refined ways to make such a calculation.
If it's the first message it would of course render an immediate nuke of this user.
But if it is someone that's been around for a while it would take more messages and more threads to remove a user.
Just a thought.

Steps to repro:- Create a new post in the Lounge.
- Paste a URL - the URL is correctly inserted with the title highlighted.
- Edit the URL's title, then click at the end of the pasted content to continue typing.
- Click a smiley.
Expected result: Smiley is inserted at current cursor location.
Actual result: Smiley is inserted at start of text (before pasted URL).
All smileys inserted in this post are positioned after the last inserted one. Looks like the insertSmileyHere index starts off as zero and gets +=d with the length of the last inserted smiley.

 I have noticed this too.

Is it possible to add the saved queries as dropdown list to the search edit?

I'm not sure when it was changed, but now the member popups do not display member's join date, articles, or messages. I thought the purpose of including this information was to give some context, e.g., when a member asks a question, others can see if the question came from a newby, and so may give some further guidance.
Without this info, the member popup is now useless as a source of any context, and we have to go to member's profile page, like we did before.
Please change it back.

Chris,
When you read Hans message, can you also clarify what platforms this is working on, or is there still issues?
I have both the settings and the top of the forum check boxes ticked, and I never see the popups working, this is on Chrome.
Cheers,

Dave,
It wasn't working for me, either, until I clicked the Update button on the orange bar.
|
|
|
|
|
I tried that as well......
|
|
|
|
|
In that case, there's no help for it, you'll have to upgrade your bios. 
|
|
|
|
|
I even disabled all the chrome extensions incase one of them were interfering.
upgrade the bios won't work, maybe a new laptop will

Dave (to wife): Honey, I evidently need a new laptop because the one I have doesn't allow me to use some new functionality on a web site that's important to my job."
Wife: What functionality is that, dear?
Dave: It allows me to place reference material into a visual context, and supplies amplifying information that would otherwise go un-referenced.
Wife: English, please.
Dave: I want to look at other user's profiles without having to actually click on their user ID.
Wife: For instance?
Dave: (selects JSOP user ID, displaying the monkey-turkey avatar in all it's glory) Like that.
Wife: You're kidding, right?
Dave: No, I would never have known this guy was such a god-like individual if I hadn't clicked on the link. If I had a new laptop, his diety-ness would have been obvious with a mere hover of the mouse cursor.
Wife: Well, okay then.

I would if that was how things work, but i'll give you a 5 on that message for effort  ;
Wife: You bought a new laptop?
Me: Yep.
Wife: When am I getting a new one?
Me: (selective hearing engaged)
Thats how it went when I appeared on the Sofa the other week with a new Samsung 10.1 tablet......

Try changing your forum View to Normal. I'll dig in and see why it's not working when you choose "Expand Posts and Replies"

The member popups never displayed the member's join date, messages or articles. It's always been just the simple "What do I look like, what do I do and where do I live" popup.
Here's the entity that's passed back, and has been passed back since v1:
public class MemberSummary
{
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Company { get; set; }
public string Country { get; set; }
public string WebsiteURL { get; set; }
public string ProfileURL { get; set; }
public string ImageURL { get; set; }
public int RepPoints { get; set; }
}
