The posts are also bit old right, giving an illusion as whether the forum is supported at all. In a way, does it make it look like a haunted house in a dilapitated condition?

It´s strange but true.
I´m trying to update some of my personal settings and after clicking the save button it shows me again the old settings.

It was not solved with the refresh. The problem was (is) that the registration page does not give error messages on all fields.
After scanning and opdating some of the field all went OKAY.

Typical web browser page caching in effect. My Internet Explorer is always set to 'Check on every visit' though it is a little burden on my network pipe but I get freshest fresh content delivered on every request to my desktop.
But for some reasons, my Mozilla FireFox is truant. It overrides my settings always.

Many article contributors choose to write and add to their article over a period of time. As a result, an article can drastically improve/worsen AFTER the article has been submitted and listed on codeproject. It would be nice if users could revote on an article after a change has been made. Right now, the current voting system doesn't allow votes to reflect current user's opinions on the article. I for one feel that this is unfair, and I hope that a small change could be made.;)

True.
Votes can be optionally reset for articles, may be with owner/moderator/admin intervention.

This is being added

Today I voted for a deleted message  . Actually why should allow the user to vote for a deleted message ? I thin that is meaningless

[Deleted Message] In that case, hopefully it was a good vote

Deleting messages is a crap idea (except maybe in the most extreme cases). Censorship of any kind is abhorrent to most Americans.
Instead of *deleting* messages that get voted as abuse/spam, why don't you make it part of the "message score threshold? In other words, if a message is marked as abuse or spam, it is included in the 1.0 threshold level.
Next, the voting threshold should be MUCH higher than it currently is.
Finally, this "feature" should not even be implemented in the soapbox.

But should we tolerate all those scrap spam too in the forums.
We can endeavor to keep the forums neat, clean and beautiful. Isn't it?

Hi John,

I have to humbly disagree. I've engaged with posters when the conversation (battle) should have gone offline. Later, I deleted most of my messages since they did not seem appropriate.
The other individual was simply being argumentative. I would receive comments such as "here is how you do it" with a disclaimer of "Note: this code has not been tested".
I presume he left his comments up since his Code Project rating is based on number of posts.

You can't "go offline" here at CP.

So what?
I think you're missing my point. I'm talking about marking a message as abuse/spam simply because it somehow damages someone's overly-delicate sensibilities. The deletion is automatic, and is not subject to moderation by a human, and there's no appeal process. If they're going to do that, the number of votes needs to be much higher that it currently is.

I was suggesting using the email feature so dirty laundry does not get aired.

Let me know what the magic number of votes should be to mark a message as spam/abuse and I'll set it at that level.

In the soapbox, it should be # of registered users + 1.
Everywhere else it should be a 1% of the number of gold and platinum members.

Really sucks, after I spend 30 minutes writing a hopefully v educational post, 20 minutes trying to post it as a reply in the comments in an article on ECC cryptography, and neither IE nor Firefox will do it - just seems like the server is not responding to the submission.
Sigh.

It could have been a high load period or a server simply playing up. The fact that you've posted a message here shows it's possible. I'm sorry it was being recalcitrant for you on the article's board.

why I still got the bronze level after on year ??

Because even though you have only been a member for a year, you still must either post 500 messages or write 5 articles.
You can see how CP calculates member levels at the bottom of your member page.
