And here too. The URL is filtered.

If TinyPic is blocked, how about others like Flickr or just use something that isn't blocked and upload pictures there. Just be mindful of the size of the picture in terms of screen size and file size.

With the extra load on the servers and increased bandwidth, I don't know if Chris would go with it.

As a matter of fact even Google image search is filtered off. Our policies are a bit stringent.
I do agree what Chris said but was just looking for a better perspective for CP. It would have really been great. Otherwise too it ofcourse is the same but still... ANyways now my job would be to search for a free online photo upload site which isn't filtered off.
WISH ME LUCK

That is a bummer, man. What do they allow? They may have something in the NDA (non-disclosure agreement) that doesn't allow any retransmission of the company...

Whatever Paul...but my situation is same. I can't change the environment so I have to learn to find out a way...hoping to do my best.

This will probably not happen. Reasons:
People will upload 1600 x 1200 images. Yes, we can shrink them down but then they will probably be unreadable and pointless.
People will post porn and innapropriate material. This is the reason we had to turn off images in the first place
People will unnecessarily post images causing the size of the forum page to be huge, costing both us and our members. We could just have links to uploads but then why not just use flickr or another service tailored specifically for this?
It will further erode the gentle art of forming complete sentences. People will post screenshots of code. Yes, I've seen it.
Companies will start blocking us at their firewalls.

I put in a 97 x 130 pic, 15.1KB and click Save. It never saves it or updates it.
How can I change my pic?

Unbelievable. I guess it was just getting cached. I thought I had already tried refreshing.
Thanks,

Would it be possible to add a user setting to hide threads from trolls? So for something like this: http://www.codeproject.com/lounge.asp?msg=2147462#xx2147462xx[^] I chould just hit hide threads from this douchebag (or I suppose something a little more kid sister appropriate) so I wouldn't have to go through pages of crap to see if there are any useful threads. This way people could continue to feeding these idiots, but I wouldn't see threads started by this person.
Side thought, maybe rather than completely hiding the thread just collapse the whole thread so all you see its there but it doesn't take up space (so if they actually go legit they don't need a new account)

I just noticed we can still vote on that message, although the content is gone !?
|
|
|
|
|
I wonder what the point is? It is like beating a dead horse 
Once the message is gone, why continue voting on it?

Is it a horse ? I thought it was a dog.
Maybe if we all vote 5 it comes alive again and we can tell ?

Who knows for sure, it could be a big dog 
I wonder if 5 votes could bring the message back from the dead?

I like this idea better than the way it works now. Frequently I see the starting message in a thread deleted, but the thread continues for a page and a half, and I'm thinking, What did I miss? There should be a "vote troll" button that replaces the current "delete message" mechanism, so that such threads would be shown automatically rolled up, instead of just deleting the message.

I would like a third item near "Report this post as 1.Abuse, 2.Spam" and that would be 3. Wrong forum. (I know we cannot extend the list endlessly but it could suffer a 3rd item without problem I think.). Maybe we could even sum up Abuse and Spam into "Inappropriate" or "Mark to Delete", since both of them end up with the same result: the message is deleted. Unlike "Abuse", "Spam" or "Inappropriate", "Wrong Forum" would simply indicate to an admin (here _you_ choose how to implement it on the backside, Chris  ) that the post must be moved. It has the advantage of "unpolluting" forums such as subtle bugs or coding horrors (or even the Lounge) that get very often programming questions, actually, and does not leave this "Message deleted" post that nobody likes.
[edit] OK, by reading further more in the suggestion forum, I understood the difference between abuse and spam. Let it be so for these both. But the wrong forum suggestions remains. [/edit]

I think the options near the footer are going to be endless. I would say we can compress this menu as Report. When the user clicks on it, popup a child menu with Options like
1) Spam
2) Abuse
3) Vote (preferably a slider control)
4) Move Requested
and more ... (subject to screen real estate restrictions)

Hi everyone,
I find it quite odd that after logging in I'm redirected to CP's front page.
For example: I receive a post in my article's forum; I view it and wish to reply to it. I enter my credentials to the form at the top of the page... and go the the CP's front. But I should stay at the same page I was! At least, my web experience tells me so.
Best regards,
- Dmitry.

True. I have observed this too. From a messageboard 'Signin' link, it takes me to login page. Post signin page, when I expect the previous URL (HTTP_REFERER) to be reloaded with logon cookie, it gives me CodeProject homepage.
Workaround:
1) Select the Down Arrow in the Back button of your browser.
2) Select the second item in the displayed history stack.

I know this  ) and do all the time. But it is still quite distracting.

I appreciate your diplomatic way of expressing. In a very frank opinion, particularly in a hurry, it just intimidates the user like anything. If it could be addressed at priority considering the havoc on user experience, it would be really great and CPians would be grateful to the team.
