Disagree. He still gets his great big flame war threads even if the initial idioting is killed off eventually.
The only time voting was ever able to kill a troll off that fast was when Teh Developer went nuts while you were on vacation; even then we were blighted by a mess of Message Automatically Deleted stubs cluttering up the place.
3x12=36
2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18

For the benefit of anyone not around at the time, keeping anyone from flaming him before the messages were deleted and making the mess even worse required that they be killed in a few minutes. This probably resulted in about a dozen people refreshing the first page of the lounge every two or three minutes to hammer the vote to remove function. Hardly an efficient use of our time.

If people must respond, then they should respond off topic and derail any ranting. It's hard to get a serious rant going when others ignore you - just watch the way that kids react when you ignore their huff.

I completely agree with you.
Instead of ignoring his post, people removed it (it was a boring topic, but there was no abusive or unacceptable content in it). After which he repeated posting the same drivel like a kid, which got removed repeatedly too. This is just irritating.

I printed out an article to read over the weekend and when reading it noticed that all code blocks longer than a page are truncated at the end of the page. This is the same issue that was discussed in this post[^], but I am not using Adobe to save the articles as pdf. I have a Dell Laser Printer here, but I can't imagine that the printer would affect the way the page looks in the print preview so long as the page size is the same. The article I was trying to print is WPF : If Carlsberg did MVVM Frameworks Part 2 of n[^]. The problem can be seen on Page 6 where the code snippet is stopped at the end of the page in print preview. Looking at the HTML it appears to be a problem where the PRE tag contents are not wrapped to a new page and I found a blog post here[^] that has a section on making PRE tags print across pages if that helps at all.
Thanks

Waw. Quite a post.

I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that. [The QA section does it automatically now, I hope we soon get it on regular forums as well]

Excellent suggestion. It will be in place today.

This post[^] in the new articles page seems to be repeated on a monthly basis. It looks like someone submitting time sheets, so perhaps it's one of the CP employees who has lost his/her way, or some automated system that has gone wrong.

It will be nice if a link "Unread messages" in profile page. Because after a week i logged in CP today due to my severe illness. I was checked my yahoo mail today & i got couple of replies for my answers/tip(s). But through CP i can't able to navigate there easily, only by viewing the links "Questions & Answers", "Tips/Tricks Posted" one by one if it have any new replies.
[Note: Please never mind if this suggestion already exist]
thanks

Unread messages for forums or for Quick Answers?
It's difficult (well, expensive and potentially annoying to users) to track whether or not a forum message has been read.
However, for Quick Answers we are working to offer a simple switch to show you just your unread questions.
(I'm guessing, though, that you specifically mean "messages posted within a forum". We will add it to the wish list.)

Would a "Recent Replies to Me" type page be practical. If I understand the OPs intent correctly that would solve his problem.
3x12=36
2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18

That would definitely be easier. I'll add that one to the TODO

for both. I know it's expensive. Chris, thanks for you working on the alternate option for this.

I noticed that my TT was edited by Thiru, presumably to fix the tags. I was not sent an email notifying me of this edit. Seems like it would be a good idea to send a notification to the author whenever his/her TT is modified (by somebody other than the author).

That's a bug. I'll add it to the list.

I posted an answer here[^], but the HTML would not convert to a link, so I tried to delete it. However I see that it is still there with a status of "Deleted". Looking at some other QA messages I notice that deleted answers are actually deleted. Am I to infer from this that some manual process is required before the actual content is removed, or is there something that I have done wrong or failed to do?

chronological answer 3 is present but empty to me (i.e. without text and without improve or vote buttons), and not to you, so you can still re-edit it "with minimal effort". They don't like drastic deletions over here!

Deleted means that others won't see it - you will still be able to see it in all its majestic glory.

The mouse pointer does not change to a hand icon and the text boxes/panels on the forum menu on the left cannot be clicked upon until I hover on the text.
The same thing is happening with the menus as well.
