On the flipside having messages change their author name automatically means it's difficult to track members who post under one name then change their name and post under another. With the current system you can look back historically and see.
It's also a very hefty load on the servers

I guess most people these days won't be as bothered as I am, but the width of the Code Project layout really annoys me and I feel it's time I mentioned it! 
I have a 17-inch CRT set to 1028x768 so I can actually read it with my relatively poor eyesight. I gather Code Project is designed to be displayed in a window about 1028 pixels wide. This is OK if I'm viewing the page full screen, but very irritating when I have it in a smaller window (for instance, to copy and paste to VS, or check more than one page at once).
In this case, I have to scroll to the right in order to get past the advert on the left and actually read the meaningful content and the menu items on the right. It's not difficult to do, and of course, it'll be fixed when I get that 20-inch TFT monitor I've always dreamed of, but as I have to do it every single time I visit the site right now, it would be nice to have at least the option of a narrower window layout...

I'm *this* close to putting a PayPal link up on the homepage to ask for donations to get you a decent screen. 17"? CRT? That's cruel and unusual.
However, I'm shocked and appalled that CodeProject.com isn't taking up your entire desktop and is, instead, being relegated as "just another window". Shocked, I tell you.
(Although I could always tweak the layout to be a little more friendly, too, I guess...)

I use a 17" at home, granted mine does 1600x1200 but it's still a 17" CRT. I'm basically in the same position as Emma, the LCDs I want as replacements are more than I'm willing to spend unless my current display dies. I don't like the lousy real world viewing angles (the ones quoted in marketing specs are pure pravda) of the cheaper TN types. IPS displays do look as good as CRTs IMO but are significantly more expensive (see apple's line of LCD monitors and the displays used in the current iMacs for examples).

I have the same problem (1024x768 laptop screen). If you use Firefox, i can hook you up with a little GreaseMonkey script that'll move that ad-bar to the left side of the page (so you don't have to scroll past it).

Take Shog's suggestion. I had the same problem with the Google Desktop on the right and his little tweak tweaked it good.

Pfft, I did something about it, I have a ton of windows open at work and need to just see the forums. So I added my own CSS to IE and now only see the main portion of the forums.
.HeaderLogo, .LHNavBar
{
display: none;
visibility:hidden;
}
div.ForumSig
{
BACKGROUND-COLOR: white;
COLOR: #ab2600;
border: 1px solid #FF9900;
TEXT-DECORATION: italic;
}
I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:

I've started a refresh that should fix that.

I log in, click on the article (http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/smartstartmenu.asp), click on 'modify', and I get 1 of 3 that allows me to add uploads. Does not seem to matter if I add any paths or not... I click next and my browser spins forever. Is this an on going issue or something I need to fix on my system here? Thanks! -Shaun

Sounds like you're stuck on a dodgy server. I just tried editing and it worked fine for me so my only suggestion is to close the browser and reopen the article.

First off, the [Message Removed] feature is a brilliant idea. But If a message is marked as spam or inappropriate, and there are no replies , then the message should be sent to hell for burning. It must be tossed off the boards right away. This way, regular CPians will be encouraged more toward marking such messages as inappropriate (spam/abuse) rather than replying to such trolls. Trolls will vanish, making the board a better place.
*Begin edit*Some trolls may reply to their own message so that the message won't be tossed! This may be an exception.*End edit*

Good idea.

Two things:
1. I feel they serve as a warning to others.
2. You can't reply to them after they are spam.

Well, you need not warn trolls. They will keep to troll. (just my thought, although I seem to slightly agree with you here)

It still makes the board look like an unclean toilet.

The reason they are left there is to illustrate to spammers and abusers what will happen when they post material that is unwanted on the site.
