You think it might be Bill's fault?
Well I'm using Chrome, so he didn't meddle with that...

I saw that a few weeks ago too. The paster alters the text to something the poster won't accept. Can't we all just get along?

A long time ago we had an issue with spammers and non-english speakers posting a lot of messages in chinese. The only way to stop the rash - and it stopped it instantly - was to ban unicode characters.
However, I know that encoding has changed, as have times, so I'll remove that check.

Leave the check by all means - just stop the paste from converting to unicode!

The check was incorrect - it was merely checking for HTML entities of the form &#N;, whereas it should have been checking to see if N was outside of the ASCII set.
It's served its purpose, and if I need to bring it back I'll fix it properly.

This user[^] posts spam-answers in Q&A, he needs three more smacks and he will be history.

Good riddance to him. I deleted his spam-answers in Q&A as well.

No, not a commercial spammer, just posting repeatedly nonsense-questions, always with the same stupid subject line "simple question.............".
One of his aliases is umairshoaib[^] by the way, can't remember the third account name, since he didn't use it for quite a while, but after his aliomar02-identity got squashed, he surely will use the other ones now.

Sorry for not getting back in time but I did take a look a couple of weeks ago and it seemed that this member had posted the message before the account was removed.

When hovering with the mouse over the votes cast for an question the displayed voting statistics is not completely visible when the question is short.
For this question[^] I only see a small upper part of the statistics.
This question[^] is longer and I almost see the complete statistics.
The vote statistics are cut off were the Posted and Perma link portion of the question start.
I am using FireFox 6.0 but I am also seeing the same thing in IE 8.0.
Does anyone else have this problem?

[This has nothing to do with my recent email.]
It seems like all the pages on this site will fit very nicely in a 1000-pixel width page.
1. Is that the official site width?
2. In doing so, are you following the recommendation of some web site standards body?
Just being curious.

Surprised you didn't know, but;
The computer used to do the layout development actually has a horizontal resolution of 1024, but there is a line of post-it notes (or stickies as some call them) down one side, which slightly hang over the viewing area by exactly 24 pixels. Now rather than remove the 'stickies' and risk loss of the master admin passwords for the web servers, sql servers and of course the god password, Chris enforced a design rule relating to the 1000 pixel width.
Simples......

1024 - scrollbar width and then some leeway.
Guess what the resolution of an iPad is?

How did you land on his profile page?

Simple really. We all know Dave checks all profiles, at a rate of 1000 a day. Today's batch apparently was 6138000 - 6138999.

This member applied for the old associate program that included providing their technical blog feed, but no longer has a blog. I've updated their (and others) settings.
Well caught.

Just noticed this link http://www.kingdatas.com/ under Sponsored Links; software for farming and generating e-mail addresses.
I cannot image Code Project would want to be associated with software that is so clearly marketed for spamming purposes.
The whole thing is probably automated; but at least you could do something about this one.

Thank you!
