Yep. It went bye bye yesterday after he was really getting bad at ranking on people.

Also there is one more missing account these days. The very famous 'Satips' which created furious posts and took the messageboards like a Storm or Tornado. I don't find either Satips or Satips V2 as (Vri SSK) nowadays.

Chris probably deleted or disabled his profile.

Hi Chris,
So there have been a lot of proposals here and in the Lounge lately to modify abuse/spam notifications, ranking calculations, ... even from you. It seems to have calm down by now. What have you eventually decided ? Are you indeed working on some modifications ?

The biggest problem is people replying to trolls. If people can just learn to think twice before hitting the reply button half the problem will be solved.

You are absolutely correct Paul. It is similar to the credit card marketing stuff. Even when we are stubborn in not accepting any new credit cards, the sweet and convincing voice on the other side 'derails' and makes us to accept one more credit card (and following menace).

No, it's easy. You just don't reply to them. It's not rocket science.

That should be the easy part, but for some reason people like to feed them.

Yes, that is the key. What bugs me though, is that we had so many problems lately. I mean, nothing really changed on CP itself ( I mean how it technically works) that would have lead to the troubles; and it has been working quite nicely for quite some years now. So I've always wondered: Why do problems show up now and never before ? If it worked before, it should still work now ...

It's a psychological, not a technical problem

can we search messages/comments according to their classification ie
question
general
news etc
and can we have a new category "tools/utility"

I've had this happen to me a couple of times - I thought it was just me being dense, but it just happened again and it's definitely not me...
I was replying to Marc Clifton here http://www.codeproject.com/lounge.asp?msg=2151601#xx2151601xx[^]
and in the intervening moments, Leckie must have replied to the OP. Now my reply is attached to Leckie's post, rather than Marc's...

Known issue. Something to do with cross server concurrency.

Please have an option for uploading screenshot of errors and other such media like a pdf file or some informative documents which would enhance the usability and expressiveness of a thread. Many a times it is really impossible to describe the error without a graphical represenation of itself.
Hope I would be seeing this feature added in very near future.
CHEERS TO CP TEAM!!!

I do not think this is needed. If you really want to post an image, put it somewhere on the net and post a link. Uploading images would enable all kinds of Spam , Abuse and so on.

That the administrators can surely take care of. And moreover we can limit the size of attachments based on the type of it viz 1MB for any JPEG image...this way we can let the servers breath well.
Belive me it will add a very new dimension towards solving of queries.
