We've been seeing this each morning at different times and we are still trying to nail down exactly what is happening. It's driving us nuts. Sorry guys.

Did you check with the janitor yet?

I can see it now. The cleaning crew comes in, and unplugs a multiway strip for their supervac...

Can we have a "Collapse All" button on each article page, that will collapse all the code snippets on the page? Probably need an "Expand All" too.

You should check with DD.

I have just replied to a post in t'Lounge which was moved/removed whilst I was typing.
Nothing wrong with that but on hitting 'Post Message' the error message was "You do not have permission to do that" (or very similar) and I was thrown back onto the reply page.
Being a stubborn SOB I tried two or three more times before giving up. When I cancelled back to The Lounge, the reason was obvious.
Is there no way to get a more meaningful message?

No problem. I'll throw this one on the pile.

I'm having trouble replicating the problem and the error.
Here's what I did (while logged in)
Open up 'reply' page (Window 1)
In a separate window (Window 2) delete the message I'm replying to
Post message in Window 1
Error message = "•Cannot find message"

Not to worry!
Just in case it makes a difference, it was this[^] message and I was on the Beta CP.

I have just seen the thread (two below) re the one page survey. It sounds suspiciously similar to the problem I encountered.

While not outright belligerent, his posts are nonetheless unhelpful, useless, and without purpose (unless of course the purpose is just to be annoying).

I noticed him/her today also. For a terrible moment I thought that link was to my homepage

You forgot to mention how rude this idiot is.

The option to mark his vote for removal is there to be used. The community should be doing the policing in this case, if required, not me.

And is being used, at least by me.

The removal threshold of 13 votes is too high to get rid of any except a few of the most extremely offensive posts. With very rare exceptions Vote To Remove and Vote 1 function identically because the threshold for hte former is never reached.

I came here to report about that same idiot and I saw David's post. Just take a look at his posts. We can't be ALWAYS arsed to keep marking his posts for removal. Yes, I have used that option and his post is still around and I'm sure that he'll be back to make more such inane posts.
Unless you see any substantial value in keeping him around, you should be removing him. He's a nuisance, and he bothers the people who help there. There's nothing more from him.

The problem with this guy is that newbies probably think that he's some genius who has the answer to everything (5 lines of code, COM, SDK, etc). Yet, all he does is discrediting and insulting people who have been helping here for a long time.
He's even worse than the idiots posting mindless drivel in the Lounge.

I agree. This is different from the occasional inappropriate message. This guy is systematically posting bogus answers to many questions, which discredits the forum and the site.
This can't be a mistake; he's getting off by pissing on the site and the many good people here.
It seems like there should be one or two volunteer moderators per forum, who have the juice to ban a member from a forum.

I've suggested that a few times before as well, for similar reasons. I wonder if such a thing will happen at all.

It reflects the user's adamant and arrogant attitude. A kind of crazy temerity or a misguided unappropriate misdirected misdemeanour to demonstrate in public.
