I'm not saying resort to a capcha or anything, but perhaps a little link so that those responses may be marked as spam in the same manner as the ones in the message boards.
I have no blog...

I think we can try using Akismet webservice to chase spammers from posting junk things in our comments and other textboxes.

Hi Chris,
I like the "modified on Sunday, January 13, 2008 5:03:32 PM" footnote you have added
to messages that get edited. However, the time you show seems to be American eastcoast time,
which is not relevant to all people, and a bit confusing when viewing a page of messages which
normally show local time. May I suggest you either show local time or add a time zone
indication or something like that.
PS: modified for illustration purposes. Demo will fail on eastcoast though!

We could do this but the timestamp is stored as static text and so we'd have to either store the modified time in the database or parse the message for the timestamp and reqrite it based on your current timezone.

You could also use something like "last modified 8hrs 21mins after originally posted"...

I'm not sure you don't already have this in place, but while working on a new client web site it occurred to me that you could give CP affiliates a "CP ID", which the affiliate could use to identify the clicks coming from his site. The clicks could be redeemable by the affiliate in views (on CP) of ads for the affiliate's products.

Don't forget to credit me with some "Bob bucks" for my idea.

Version 9.24. The selection is cleared but nothing is ending up in the scripts paste buffer, resulting in a no text selected error.
Otherwise [Microsoft is] toast in the long term no matter how much money they've got. They would be already if the Linux community didn't have it's head so firmly up it's own command line buffer that it looks like taking 15 years to find the desktop.

Would it be possible to give a few more CPians the admin rights to move crap articles out of sight? I'm sure everyone who sees this article is totally embarrassed for it to be visible on CP: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/clipboard/2.aspx[^]

Following a link from my RSS reader, I was presented with:
"The article you want to view was deleted at 12 Jan 2008."
Could you either correct the grammar or ideally put the time in the message?
E.g. "The article you want to view was deleted on [the] 12 Jan 2008."
or "The article you want to view was deleted at 12:32GMT on the 12 Jan 2008."
Regards,
Ray

Hi,
I am offering a suggestion of introducing a feature named My Messages which would help in filtering and showing only my messages posted in a particular forum. This feature can also be all encompassing where a link named My Messages would display all posted messages made by a user in any forums.

The messages are already actually indented to show the Reply heirarchy. But when the number of threads increase, there might be a steep confusion that creeps in. Just thought how about a thin dot-dash line like a TreeView.
That would indicate the hierarchy quite clearly.

It's obvious after all these years that people don't (or can't) read the big message at the top of the lounge.
So, instead of everybody flaming people who ask programming questions, I think we need a way to "kindly" redirect people to the correct forum to ask their question. Maybe a little javascript activated drop down menu that says "Ask In...".
What do you all think?

When a big bold HTML can not achieve this, do you think a little JavaScript can bring the offenders to book. Anyway, let us have some fun-time till the jerks realise their folly and mend their ways.

Well, that was for us CPians, so we could redirect them to the right place. (Can't we all just get along )

Yeah, it is pretty fun to beat up on noobs, until they snap and start killing people in malls.

Report as "Spam", "Abuse", or "Programming Question"

That might be an option.
I was thinking it could automatically move the whole thread to the appropriate forum, but now that I think it through, it would probably be abused, just like everything else.
Oh, well, it was just a thought.

If CP developed a robot or Java script to detect programming questions, many post in the Lounge might be treated as programming questions because of hex numbers, specific keyword or terms, etc.
