Hello CP team!
Just noticed that it's possible to navigate over the actual setted "Date Filter" (in my case one month) by using the "Messages Posted" of a members profile.
Good so far!
But if you now try to navigate to the "Prev" page for example, it ends up jumping to first page.
It took me quite a while to find out that it's because of my "Date Filter" settings.
I think an information about the crossed limit, would help in this situation.
All the best,
Martin

Surely it must be easy to catch these, we how 2 submission today.

Wow, I was unaware that could happen...till I got nasty emails from readers. Some people need more fiber!
It looks like my acct was abused somehow to open empty articles. What's the point in an empty article?? I guess someone's having fun. I changed my password and other acct particulars and deleted the empty articles in my name -- not sure if that will help anything or not...

Cool, thanks! One more related issue. Links in some articles (to other articles) are broken for a similar reason. ie:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/vista/VGFileDialogs.asp[^]
Add an "x" and all is well with 'em. Asp references to old article locations is redirected fine. Asp references to articles in the new locations isn't.

I've added a TODO item that one of our devs should be able to get to in the next week or so. It'll involve going through all 19,000 articles and checking links but hey - what else are you going to do with the weather so bad in Toronto? (He says, safely and smuggly back home in Australia for a few weeks  )

This is a suggestion made by someone else in the lounge, but I didn't see it show up here, so I thought I'd drop it here. We have the swear word filter. Do you have the ability to add words to the list?
The amount of text-speak here is growing and growing. If you can simply add 'plz,' and other common ones, when their posts gets completely ***'d out, they will get the point and learn how to use the entire qwerty keyboard. I see this as a pretty easy fix to a terrible problem.

Maybe I wasn't clear. When someone types a swear word, the word is replaced with asterisks. I was suggesting that was could add various text speak words to the list, and they will get filtered out. Just using a system already in place to combat the problem.

just make sure it doesn't turn out to be a clbuttic implementation. 
Otherwise [Microsoft is] toast in the long term no matter how much money they've got. They would be already if the Linux community didn't have it's head so firmly up it's own command line buffer that it looks like taking 15 years to find the desktop.

Then what is holding you back? It's a simple, yet effective way to combat the folk here who think that they are charged by the keystroke. I think it may teach them a lesson, when they see three quarters of their post masked by askterisks, they will get their act together.

Could this happen?
int* pTmp = &val;
int* plz = pTmp;
becomes ...
int* pTmp = &val;
int* *** = pTmp;

Probably. But you can also not filter out things like that if they're in a code block. If the code block contains profanity (bypassing the filters) it can get reported for deletion. The text speak junk should filter on written content instead and ignore code.
Of course, if you ignore the code block then it'll get filtered out.

But about 50% people in VC++ forum do not use <code> or <pre> to present the code snippets.

Well, then that can be another way to get them to follow the forum rules.

I did not think of that, that is a very excellent point. As someone said below, it could exclude items in code or pre blocks, and we could report posts abusing that as, well, abuse

This thread[^] is a prime example of why this text-speak crap should be battled

That'd be nice to do something about the text speak

Is it really that hard to
a) Hit the abuse button
b) Ignore the post?
If you wish others to act in a mature fashion we must all do the same.
Also: I would have thought that of all members, Vasudevan, you would have caught on that Swarup was way, way before Kyle's time.

True. But actually if you had observed the way the messages went astray on Monday morning, it was so disgusting and hence I thought I would alert CP Team. Slowly after an hour, the original message faded out due to a high number of votes on it.
