Why to redirect him somewhere from closed question when he already has one open thread?
e.g. Q2 is posted same as Q1 while Q1 is still open. Q2 closed due to repost reports. Why not to post solutions on Q1 itself?

Solutions were meant for this stuff only. Correct me if i misunderstood your post.

My apologies to you Rohan since you have read the first post only. Please read other threads also. I have explained that I do not want a(n) (actual) redirect from one question to another (I have discussed this one under comment reply to Chris).
See those posts and check if you get my point.

I've studied your suggestions, Afzaal, but I cannot see anything in them that would address the structural problems with QA, which I see as "behavioral."
imho, nothing will ever address the issue of people who are (at best) eager to learn, possibly confused, (at worst) stupid, or shirking homework, etc., posting questions that could have been easily answered by a quick search on CodeProject, or Google. But, I think it's only "humane" we give people the "benefit of the doubt," particularly when they are newcomers to CodeProject.
I observe some CP members (including MVP's) feel fine about answering such questions with a lecture on "homework, or, a link to a search of Google, or CodeProject, or a link to that "let me look that up for you" irritating web-page.
Others, like me, make a personal choice to never post a "solution" which is a "moral lecture," or just has one link to a web, or CP, search.
Some members (including very high-rep MVP's) feel free to cut-and-paste previous answers often full of links to other answers they've given which are irrelevant to the OP's concerns.
Until we, the active CP members choosing to help-out on QA, get our act together, I think it's a waste of time to "fiddle with the dials" of QA as it is now.
Until the "rep-bloat arcade game" aspect of QA is fixed, I think there will be no progress.
imho CP MVP's should lead by example, but we are very far from having any "ethos" that unifies CP MVP's as a group ... again, in my opinion.
Yet, I do think that CP QA, warts-and-all, does provide some value. I know it provides value for me:
Even if those rare moments in responding to QA where I feel I have possibly made a contribution to someone else's intellectual growth are "illusions" ... they still feel good.
I have always found that the best way to learn something new, and/or to revise/refine/increase the understanding of things already (you think) known is ... to teach. And, for me, that is inherently pleasurable, and meaningful: why that is "so" I have no need, at this late point in my life, to analyze

Seems to be an intermittent bug. I am hesitant to experiment on the site to see if I can reproduce it.
I had to edit one post I made today several times to get the generic parameters properly formatted.
thanks, Bill

That happens because they are sometimes regarded as HTML tags if < and > are not escaped (to < and > ), and those are automatically converted to lowercase.

Thanks, ProgramFox, but, in this case, I am speaking of code that has been formatted as C# by selecting the pasted-in code, and selecting 'C# from the 'code drop-down menu.

The vast majority of issues with members are caused by such a vanishingly small percentage of members.
I find it hard to justify taking time away from helping those who come here for the love of programming to help those who come here for the love of stirring the pot.
Regardless: the reports have been reversed. I'm sure in another 3 months or less we'll be discussing this same member

I am sure we will Chris. Its sad isn't it, that people are so vindictive they misuse the abuse/troll button, but what can you do. Perhaps close their accounts for abusing the button!

Or just remove the button.

Suddenly, I am seeing the text in all "<code>" blocks missing - that is for all forum messages including any signatures. I hope that's not just me.
I can see that on the latest Chrome.
-- EDIT
Hm, I can see the text in the code-block after unchecking the "font" for the "pre" tag. Maybe it's due to the XP machine I am using temporarily.
Apologies.
I ain't got no signature.

I don't know if this has been brought up before, but ALL of the pages for personal settings are very slow in performance. For some reason the keyboard and mouse are not working well with these pages, and there is
a lot of lag time between when I type or click, and seeing the result on the page.
I am thinking this may be a Chrome issue with the page, somehow, but not sure. It only seems to affect me when I am on the settings pages and not the rest of the site, so far.

Do you have any Chrome add-ins?
I'm running Chrome on Win7 and can't replicate the issue on any of my machines.

Wellllllll, yes. AdBlock Plus.
I have deactivated the add-on for this site, and all is well now. Sorry for the troubles.
