While Mentor was a cool character I find the bit about the Arisians committing racial suicide after their successors triumph to be something of a poor model to imitate.

Chris,
I must have had my head burried somewhere because ive not even heard of this. Im more than happy to do a bit of editing/mentoring - although ive not found the time to write many articles for CP (something im more embarrased about as the months go on) but im pretty sure I know the style and content requirements. I do a fair amount of technical writing professionally these days and its all helpful experience for me.
So, if there is anything I can do, do drop me a line.

Looks like you have a lot of interested people now.
Lesson 1: You want people to sign up for something: promise them a nice looking icon
Lesson 2: You want to reach as many people as possible: report it as a bug
Must admit was the first I heard of it as well.
I'd volunteer but I fear I'm not experienced enough to be a mentor (not yet anyway).

Hmmm.
Maybe I should post "Chris needs a new bike. Possibly a Look 596[^]" bug and then promise an icon of Bob on a bike to those who through whatever means possible (selling kidneys, extortion, rigging lotto draws) come through with the goods.

Would be cool to see that icon

I've not published any articles myself, but if you want me to then I'd be willing to help

Since being awarded the Associate status, I seem to have lost my MVP icon; and being as vain as I am I'd like it back please.

Also, there is no associate entry on the membership types page[^] BTW.
(I had a quick look to see what this accolade is all about!)

Why not run it through something like Paint.NET? I did and got a transparent backgrounded PNG with no problems.

Hi Pete
I'm currently running it through Photoshop - guess pretty much every one who owns a blog with background other than white will have to run through this task - so why not offer a proper logo in the first place?
It's not a critical thing, but still, it takes time and is causes a loss of quality as the logo has nicely blurred edges. And as a spoiled WPF guy, I sure do like my stuff pretty
Cheers,

Hi,
I'm embarassed to say this : I've just spent fifteen minutes combing through My Profile, My CodeProject, and My Settings and can't find where you can enable or disable the option of the "e-mail" link appearing in messages you post.
thanks, Bill

This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly."

IIRC the software just remembers the last checked value.
Edit: Confirmed. I unchecked before posting the original message and it remained unchecked the next time I hit reply.

Changing the value during an edit of an existing message doesn't save the change. Is this a bug?
