I like this idea better than the way it works now. Frequently I see the starting message in a thread deleted, but the thread continues for a page and a half, and I'm thinking, What did I miss? There should be a "vote troll" button that replaces the current "delete message" mechanism, so that such threads would be shown automatically rolled up, instead of just deleting the message.

I would like a third item near "Report this post as 1.Abuse, 2.Spam" and that would be 3. Wrong forum. (I know we cannot extend the list endlessly but it could suffer a 3rd item without problem I think.). Maybe we could even sum up Abuse and Spam into "Inappropriate" or "Mark to Delete", since both of them end up with the same result: the message is deleted. Unlike "Abuse", "Spam" or "Inappropriate", "Wrong Forum" would simply indicate to an admin (here _you_ choose how to implement it on the backside, Chris  ) that the post must be moved. It has the advantage of "unpolluting" forums such as subtle bugs or coding horrors (or even the Lounge) that get very often programming questions, actually, and does not leave this "Message deleted" post that nobody likes.
[edit] OK, by reading further more in the suggestion forum, I understood the difference between abuse and spam. Let it be so for these both. But the wrong forum suggestions remains. [/edit]

I think the options near the footer are going to be endless. I would say we can compress this menu as Report. When the user clicks on it, popup a child menu with Options like
1) Spam
2) Abuse
3) Vote (preferably a slider control)
4) Move Requested
and more ... (subject to screen real estate restrictions)

Hi everyone,
I find it quite odd that after logging in I'm redirected to CP's front page.
For example: I receive a post in my article's forum; I view it and wish to reply to it. I enter my credentials to the form at the top of the page... and go the the CP's front. But I should stay at the same page I was! At least, my web experience tells me so.
Best regards,
- Dmitry.

True. I have observed this too. From a messageboard 'Signin' link, it takes me to login page. Post signin page, when I expect the previous URL (HTTP_REFERER) to be reloaded with logon cookie, it gives me CodeProject homepage.
Workaround:
1) Select the Down Arrow in the Back button of your browser.
2) Select the second item in the displayed history stack.

I know this  ) and do all the time. But it is still quite distracting.

I appreciate your diplomatic way of expressing. In a very frank opinion, particularly in a hurry, it just intimidates the user like anything. If it could be addressed at priority considering the havoc on user experience, it would be really great and CPians would be grateful to the team.

I didn't know you could. I'm going to delete that from my memory banks now.

An oldie but a goodie. Yes, this will definitely be fixed.

What resolution are you using? I saw scroll bars for the code. I am on 1280x1024 with FF and see the problem.

Hi N a v a n e e t h,
You did not have to scroll hard right to read the articles?

They are both unedited reader contributions. The editors will go in there and fix it when they get a chance.

I wonder what they did to get it wrong, which also means I wonder why my article submissions
(probably) dont do this when I enter them. Could you please provide the necessary information
in "how to write an article" if it is not already there; and explain if it is.
[Edit: that's the use of the P tag I guess]
TIA.

It is already there... See Submission Guidelines. There is even a tool to use to check for the issue (if the author is too lazy to Preview the article).

Thanks.
I forgot the details completely, I studied it when I started my first article; since then
I just copy the file and replace the text, paragraph after paragraph.

It's a little tricky (not impossible, just a little time consuming) to work out how to find the width of a block of potentially poorly formatting and improperly formed HTML.
9.5 times out of 10 it's just a line of code in a PRE tag that's too wide.
The best thing to do for articles such as these is to use the 'broken article' link at the top and report it to an editor

It seems like we get the same questions over and over in the programming forums, and no one wants to search. What about a page with hyperlinks with some of these common questions. Like "How do I insert a record with a datagrid?"
