This post[^] has turned gray with a single 1 vote on the C++ forum.

I should clarify: responses aren't greyed, but questions are.
Yes, it's a confusing inconsistent mess. It will be fixed.

A bit further down the page there is one colored grey but it was a response to a response so to recap:
Questions are colored gray.
Response isn't.
Response to response is.
K got it now, so not a bug but by design then. (damn no bob stamp for this one  )

This[^] user has been posting random messages, which looks to be spanish, in several forums. After doing a quick Google Translate they appear to be non-sense. Is this tolerated?
My failometer has shot off the end of the scale!
I seem to have misplaced my ban button.. no wait... found it!

I second the blindingly annoying 300 smilies per post, and random Spanish gibberish (well not random, constructed sentences just poor grammar). At first I thought it was a bot..

I'd like to report this user[^] to be banned for his intolerable behavior on the C# board. He has been refusing to use Google, MSDN, or CP search, insists that someone gives him 'da codez' and worse yet has been continuously abusive towards almost all that replied to him, even after repeated warnings.
(Since this thread is on a similar topic and every post goes directly into the inbox of Chris, I haven't started another thread.)

I second that and now he's changed his name as well!
|
|

I'll second that aswell.
Further more his questions seem to lead up to a possible harmful program.
I think he try'd to explain himself here[^]
but I wasn't able to read it before it got removed (kind of want to now since my name is in the subject )

I forth the motion.

I reluctantly fifth the motion. Ignorance I don't mind, but when he becomes rabid it annoys me

I will spend enternity backing this motion!

I submitted an article about a week ago but I can find a way to update it.
Are articles final or am I missing something?
|
|

Hi Tawani,
Now that your article has been edited by our editors, the only way to update it is to submit the updated source code and HTML to us. You can use the “Get Article’s HTML” from the link in the upper right hand corner of your article, and send both updated HTML and zipped sourced code to us at submit@codeproject.com.
Please let me know if you have any questions about the process.
Thanks,
Sean Ewington

0) There needs to be some sort of replacement message informing people of when a thread is moved, and where it is moved to.
1) I didn't post my Silverlight vs WPF thread in the silverlight forum because i didn't want half-baked responses from people that happily accept any and all sewage coming out of Redmond.

0) Like an automatic email?
1) This discussion was on Silverlight and was of a technical nature that, in my opinion, was valuable for those working with Silverlight. Hence it's best home is in the Silverlight forum.

Can't you rig up a "link" type of message that will take you to the moved message when you click on it? Seems better than having messages just disappear.
|

For a link message to work the original poster would have to be made aware of its existence, either by an email or by them trawling through the forum looking for the thread.
Once a message moves all replies to that message will include links back to the original message in the original forum, so any activity regarding the moved message will alert the poster to its new position.
If the member wishes to monitor the thread (eg new messages that are not direct replies) then that causes a problem, but a quick email would solve that.
Having link messages would not, IMO, help more than an email, but would be worse because they would just cause forum debris.

When I write an article, I sometime think that it is final. My code is perfect and I won't change a line.
However quite often in the discussion at the bottom someone suggest something and unfortunately he's or she's right.
Would it be possible for an article to go back to Editing mode even after it is been edited by an editor.
The articles are stored forever and it is a shame they can't be fixed when something is wrong in them.
Allowing us to make minor amendments would improve the overall quality of the articles wouldn't it?

We can absolutely do that. Just let us know which ones.

If this is a frequent request, maybe a "Please allow me to edit my article" button would be appropriate.

I would second that too.
People are shy you know.

It's not just that people are shy; the article submission process is not as transparent as it could be:- There are two ways to submit an article: via email to submit@codeproject.com or via the Article Submission Wizard (ASW).
- Articles submitted via the ASW can be in one of two states: edited or not-yet-edited.
- Depending on which state the article is in, there are two ways to modify an article: via the Modify button or via email.
- On top of this, an article might be subject to a preliminary approval process, which is itself a source of surprise and unexpected annoyance for some authors.
So I don't think it's any wonder that some authors have trouble understanding and coping with the submission process, and anything that can be done to empower them would be very good. After all, this site has made its reputation largely because of quality articles.
