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.

Sometimes when I go to a forum I like to see only the unanswered questions, so I won't waste my time and everyone else's.
Today I went to the C++ Questions forum, and right there at the top I saw the nice, big, Unanswered button. Lovely! I thought, as I clicked it.
But wait! What's this, I think, as I gaze upon all manner of VBA, C#, Java, and ASP.NET questions. Surely I made a stupid user error; you know the ones I'm talking about; like when you're looking at C++ Questions, and suddenly you're not?
OK, start over, click C++ Questions, and...YES! There's my stupid user mistake! There's an Unanswered Tab right there! Stupid me! I should have clicked on that! No harm, no foul, I'll just click that tab in a jiff, and be right where I want to... What's this! I'm looking at the same collection of random unanswered questions as before!
OK, OK, I've learned my lesson, and now I have a suggestion (in fact, two):
1. Rename the really big Unanswered button to Random Unanswered Questions.
2. Rename the Unanswered Tab to Free Obedience Lesson.
This will restore balance to the world, and keep from irritating the sh*t out of us peaceful denizens.
Someone smarter than me can probably think of a better solution, but I haven't had my Turmeric Curcumin yet this morning, so please be kind.

Thanks for that polite and well-mannered request. I couldn't tell, even by trying, that you hadn't yet had your Turmeric Curcumin yet.
I will remove the "All Questions" and "Unanswered" buttons at the top.
Removing these links means that when you're viewing a question, it's a little harder to quickly go back to the main list. I could hide them on the main list, but then you have a changing UI which can annoy people.
So, the solution I have implemented is based on the following:
When I choose "C#" from the Quick Answers dropdown I should see C# questions.
When I set a site filter, those filters should always be used when displaying lists.
When I have a site filter set and I choose "C#" from the dropdown, I want my site filter to apply.
When I click on a tab it should show Unanswered, active etc based on the current list I'm viewing.
The buttons at the top will be named "All Questions" and "All Unanswered". Clicking on these will show all questions filtered by your site preferences which will be highlighted in yellow". This is the one thing I'm unhappy about, since it's not really "All questions". It's "All questions based on your preferences" but that doesn't fit nicely into a button link.

Can you add a "Free Porn" button while you're in there messing with the buttons?
EDIT ======================
When you have to explain that something is a joke... oh, never mind.

I should at least get some reputation points for the suggestion.

Where would you like Chris to shove them seeing as you are on about porn........?

Someone should write an article on how different web browsers render porn. That would make a good article and may even win the monthly competition or something.
