An idea could be to make the navigation map (whatever this is called) under the green title be a link to the first page.
What I mean is: In this forum for instance, under the green Site Bugs / Suggestion, you have the navigation location:
Home > Forums > Site Bugs / Suggestions
The string "Site Bugs / Suggestions" is a static string. Turn that into a link to the forum first page.

But in this case - the Back Room.
What exactly is a moderator? Rob said that, briefly, he had edit/delete power for everyone in the forum but it disappeared. If I had it, I never noticed it.
In all honesty I am not sure we need moderation - since elimination of voting from the Back Room, there's been one instance of a troll posting the same message nine or ten times (he was ignored) and the case of someone posting a harmful link - certainly something that could hapen in the public forums as easily as the Back Room and handled without any serious problems by reporting it to you.
However, if there must be such a thing, it is probably better that folks like me who think it is the ultimate of last resorts be vested. Only. . .right now I've got the title and nothing else. i.e. the emperor is feeling a draft. 
If you're reading this and asking what the back room is - move along, there's nothing for you here. These are not the droids you seek.

Does the Emperor feel a tad naked? Give it time, I'm sure that Chris can find a fig leave (or two) to cover the Emperor's modesty

It's not my modesty I'm worried about - but I dislike making other people jealous.

All moderators should have edit/delete rights. If it's disappeared then we snipped the wrong wire. I'll post a bug report.
As to whether or not you need it, I leave that in your hands. If you don't want to use it, don't.

1 Enable auto-encode html when pasting.
2 Quote part of a reply.
3 Paste a URL.
All the brackets in the quoted text will be turned into & gt/lt;'s
To clarify, I'm talking about the brackets that make the tags involved in the quoting. I'm using FF 3.0.8 for windows.

Click on a component or service in the Catalog and at the bottom is the discussion board.
You don't have to comment to be in the running for a chance to win a T-shirt - just vote!

Chris, you're reply could also have been:
Move the scroll bar on the right of the screen to expose the bottom half of the page, <br />
these are what "scroll bars" are for.
Thank you for not using the idiot stick

The forum signature applies to all the forums. Is it possible to expand the signature to more than one? At times I wish to set different signatures based on which forum I am in. May be show one for Lounge, another for programming forums and may be a third for all others.
I know the Signature can be edited per message post. That may be ok for one or two times, but if I want something permanent signature to apply only in the programming forums, it is pain the 'you know what' to edit the signature for every post. Now the same signature may not be that important in the Lounge or SB.

Hi Yusuf,
I would like to vary my sig, depending on the post, not the forum. So my proposal would be to have the possibility to define say up to 8 different sigs, each with a user-selectable short name; then have one set as the default but also being offered a DropDown presenting the short names and allowing to choose one to replace the default sig.
To accomodate your forum-oriented sigs, we could then make the default dropdown choice depend on the current forum...

Are you using CPHog ? It lets you switch between several signature.

The short answer is: Because it's marked as an answer and is in a programming forum.
Answers in programming forums only allow Good Answer/Bad Answer and we found that a reader would try and answer a question, or post a followup question to a question and leave it marked as an answer, and these answers (or non-answers) were getting voted as "bad answer" which was leaving swathes of grey everywhere and demotivating members to answer.

Based on complaints I've seen elsewhere there're a few morons who've none the less managed to get their accounts to the level that they can, and do, approve every last piece of crap their countrymen blight the site with.

Now, if this information was available to the CP team (which member approved the article), they must revoke the article approving rights for that particular account.

The article is gone but by the name of it, I remember that this guy tried to publish a lot of articles (all starting with "varma") yesterday. Well, article is certainly not the appropriate word for it, it seems he was trying to use CP to store his files
