No, not really.
But it is annoying that the login is not working with my "standard" mail account...

Just noticed that the voting tooltips were missing a capital first letter and a period at the end. Personally, I like to see full grammer in effect in these things.

I noticed that sometimes the messages posted counter doesn't update correctly. Has anyone else seen this?

Destroy the soapbox and recycle those wasted bits into something more usefull.
=====Brain melting code=====

what is the Soapbox done for then ?
it provides shovels and some sand for the CP kids, to avoid they go the the Lounge to fight.
No really, i don't see the point. The SoapBox totally fills its goal.

No. The soapbox is a great release valve. All that needs to happen is a few simple things. Some suggestions:
1. Make it opt-in. You don't even see the soapbox unless you opt-in on your profile.
2. Remove the ability to have HTML in the screen names (except for a few acceptable tags such as <b>, <sup> <i> etc.). Only unique names (after the HTML has been stripped out) would be permitted.
3. Allow people to set up ignore lists, so they don't have to even see posts by objectionable people. Maybe also a toggle to ignore replies to the objectionable person too. If this was available, I think I would have about a half-dozen people added to it. I'm all for freedom of speech, but it doesn't mean I have to listen.
Basically, I don't want to see the type of posts currently in the soap box put into the lounge - because that is where they will end up.

Rather than hiding posts, I'd prefer that they just be marked read automatically. Once you start hiding them threading gets all fubared.

Yeah, and it already does that enough without the hiding.

Why? It would just have to remove the blocked user's post and any posts that branch off from it.
The only minor issue you might have is if someone refers to something you haven't read in another post/branch, you won't have any idea what they're on about.

If there's a troll around that basically translates to never seeing most of a large thread, and typically 2-5 posts down the tree the signal-noise ratio recovers.

I just recently attempted to change my Display Name for my account from 1tg46 to Thomas Stockwell. At first it seems like it has changed my information, but then it seems that TheCodeProject reverts back to 1tg46 when I am no longer logged in at TheCodeProject. I have also tried searching through for my articles after I switched my name (and while logged in) with the search bar but that only recognizes 1tg46 not the new display name.
Is this what is suppose to happen?

I am basing this question on the Submission Guidelines article:
http://thecodeproject.com/scrapbook/whatisagoodarticle.asp[^]
Where I will quote:
"When submitting an article think carefully about your display name. Sure, you can hide behind an alias, but the people that want to use their articles as resume fodder would probably not do this. And resume fodder is important, even if we all detest it. Most likely, your motivation for writing an article has nothing to do with your resume or CV, but keep in mind that at some point you might realize that this is a side benefit. To change the displayed author name on your articles just login to CodeProject, hit 'My Settings' and enter your name. Your articles will be automatically updated. "
Regarding the second comment on my signature:
Advertising is not necessary, despite a low download size I will never download it. Sorry.

Advertising of programs that are not for public download and must be requested from an unknown personality does not seem right. The term 'never' is sufficient for the present time and future as their are thousands of other places that I can download tutorial information for free without having to be mailed. I will ask that you do not target me in particular for any such program of yours in the future. Please do not argue with what I have posted as I will not change my mind.
