Well actually HTML itself is text.

Well then stop typing stupid things. Of course HTML is text, but it is not plain text. I use an email client that does not parse HTML, so when I recieve emails in HTML format they are unreadable. I then have to go through the effort of loading them into another email client that does parse HTML just so I can read them. CP has an option to send all emails in plain text or HTML, I chose plain text and that is how I expect to get my emails.

Ok mate. I said nothing against you. You may have missed this but I was just trying to make light of the situation. If you feel so strongly about this then I suggest you writea letter to management.

I thought this forum was for letters to management.

Management left for the week. You can contact them on their private line though.

I just got the newest insider and it has the same problem as yesterday's. It even has the same wrong user's email in the footer as yesterday's.

I had this same issue, and I'm kinda surprised at the glib responses. Management may be out, but does the reputation of codeproject mean so little to anyone else?

Ack, ya... i've been meaning to complain about that too. Go figure, as soon as Chris leaves, the newsletter and the Insider both switch to gaudy HTML formatting.

Something absolutely horrible happened and, as yet, we've no real idea what. No code changes, no config changes, but it just decides to go loopy on us. The only thing we did do was update our servers with the latest patches from Microsoft but there's no way we can see that these should have caused the problem.
I'll try and find out what's going on from this end, but I do apologise for the mess.

Whatever it was seems to be fixed now. Today's Insider came through just fine. Do you care to enlighten the curious as to what the problem was?

You've seen them - posts without a name attached (nothing shows up under "author".
I suspect it's a flaw in the registration page that lets them save data without having a user name.

Not a flaw, a feature. I went to check it out and it let me sign up for an account without supplying a valid username. Later when I posted a message with that account the screen you compse the message in told me I should fill in a username, but didn't have to. I agree, this is a stupid feature.

Are you talking about all the top level posts that show up without a name? It's a bug in CP's code. The users actually do have a name, it's just not showing up in top level posts.

You mean "without"?
Also: the no-name bug is on my list. Will nail it when I get back on Monday

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if it would be nice to have a *notify me by mail when answered* like button for forum posts, so that I for example could get notified when somebody would answer a message that was posted by John Doe It would be useful, because sometimes I am also interested in the answers to different questions posted by different people and would be nice to get notified by mail other than start looking whether this or that post was replied by someone.

That would be extreme strain on the CP servers.

This is constantly asked for, and the answer for the time being is NO.

I feel, it is not just for time being -- it might not be a feasible at all, considering the volume of users.
