Nevertheless, I prefer to keep seeing the original post so I can try and understand how the replies fit (or don't fit) the matter.
I am in favor of making messages undeletable once a reply has been posted; only additive edits should remain possible.

How do you define an additive edit, though?
What if they need to change some spelling or content?
What if they legitimately need to remove material. I know I've done this when I've reread and realised I've cut and pasted stuff twice.
For a small number of annoying users this is a large inconvenience to everyone else.

But, what about just removing the ability to delete, so they have to manually delete the text as an edit ? The sort of people we're talking about, wouldn't be smart enough to work out how to do that anyhow.

Now you're using your noggin'
I think simply disallowing deletes until you have a certain experience quotient is the best.

insert the new content in place, leave the old as is.
maybe: allow strike-through

insert a comment [TO BE DELETED] or [IGNORE THIS] or so

if so, limit to new users (first 500 posts)
if they leave their first 500 posts intact, chances are they'll continue to do so.

I think you'll find crystal meths causes sligtly less damage to your head. If you had bothered to check for crystal reports here you would have found two pieces of advice:
0. Don't use it.
1. Ask Crystal if you've got a problem.
Panic, Chaos, Destruction.
My work here is done.

I'm alreay familiar with Bitmap function: MakeTransparent() which sets one color to be transparent. I would like to go a step further and enable the user to adjust the transparency range around the selected transparency color. I'm currently using the ImageAttributes class for modifying bitmaps and I was hoping to use it for setting the transparency range. I see that there is SetThreshold() and SetColorKey() but I don't know how to use these to set a color range that encompasses hue, saturation and brightness differences.
Any suggestions?
There cannot be a crisis today; my schedule is already full.

You'll have to convert HSL to RGB, then you can specify a range of colors to make transparent in your ImageAttributes class.

Thanks for the response. Have you ever used the SetColorKey() method? The reason I ask is because I am already adjusting the HLS values and converting them to an RGB color. Any adjustments away from the original color value produces no transparency at all 
Every bit of googling I've done only brings examples that set the LowColor and HighColor with the same value: imageAttribute.SetColorKey(_color, _color);
No one seems to be using different values! BTW, if there is better way than the ImageAttributes class to do this transparency range, I'm willing to listen.

Just write it yourself, converting the HSL value to RGB is not going to do what you wanted (you can't use a range of hues with RGB values and that's what you wanted, right?)
It's not too hard, but special care is needed with black/gray/white since they "don't have a hue" (naive hue checking would always include them which is usually not desired)

Oh, good point. I was thinking he just wanted to go a little either side of one specific color.

the question should have been: can I do the same without any if, and half the amount of code.
the answer is yes, you can.
and BTW the last statement should have been inside the else block.

Forgot to mention, when a button's function changes, it is polite to reflect that in its Text.
Helps preventing user confusion.
[ADDED]Still doesn't need an if, the ?: operator is great for such things.[/ADDED]

please i need an advice on how i can learn this language very fast. i have some knowledge of c programming and c++. can i learn more myself just by reading. thanks

Hi,
yes, you can learn the basics of any language from a tutorial book. Go to the bookstore, look at a couple of C# books and buy the one or two that you like most. Work your way through the initial chapters and try a few things on a PC to make it sink in. Skip specialized chapters you don't yet need (databases, networking, ...).
Then read some of the excellent articles here on CP.
