It's more than those two posts. The users partake06, laura8825, Illidan88 and alexnikle all joined at the same time, and all posted spam on the same subject.

Hey guys,
First I want to say I love your website. I like spending some time at the forums etc. However lately (half year) the codeproject is very very slow! I receive loads of timeout's IF the server does respond. I don't know where this is coming from. I tried different internet connections but it just doesn't work! I come from the Netherlands so my web requests travel a long distance, that may cause the problems, however other websites in the US/Canada region are perfectly reachable.
Do you guys have a clue?
Keep up the good work!

I'll admit that for the last 3 hours we've had issues, and last week we had timeouts at 2AM US eastern time, but apart from that site speed has been fantastic.
We are, however, experiencing some network issues which are slowing things down and we have all the guys who know what they are doing diagnosing and working on it.

Turns out there was 'a connection issue' in my area. The problems I experienced had nothing to do with the code project, but was a general issue in my neighbourhood.... Thanks for responding though

Page servers seem awfully slow.

I've seen many users voting 1 or 2 for bullshit issues.
Here is an example user: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Messages.aspx?fmid=656057[^]
Can you please make a feature that prevents people from voting if their average voting score is less than 2.5? In this way, they have to vote on good articles too. (Or as the example user above, not beeing able to vote at all).

Members are allowed to vote any way they like and that's how it should be; as painful as it can feel some times on the receiving end.
I'm sure my own vote average is nearly 1. It would be good to see it on my profile though.

I second that (two overall averages, one giving, one receiving).
However Chris sees some privacy invasion in there.

I only read code that is properly indented, and rendered in a non-proportional font; hint: use PRE tags in forum messages

It's also irrelevant information. Maybe somebody only 1-votes because they only want to see others improve their articles (thereby not voting higher because those users don't need any improvement). Or maybe people only vote high because they only believe in positive affirmation (i.e., rewarding goodness). In any event, the average vote given seems like useless information.
Visual Studio is an excellent GUIIDE.

I can't reproduce.
Possibly a dumb question, but you are highlighting text before you click a formatting button?

No I'm not. I was trying to insert a tag pair into text prior to adding what I wanted formatted.
eg
1 This is text.
2 This is <b></b> text.
3 This is <b>Bold</b> text.

2x12=24

I've been a fan of the CodeProject Insider for several years now. (For those of you who are not familiar, this is not the CodeProject Newsletter. The Insider contains industry news, developer news and selected forum discussions.)
I realize that there are lots of industry rags out there like slashdot and techcrunch, but the CodeProject Insider sold me with its snarky, insightful, often hilarious subheads beneath each article title. The insider also limits its top articles to the 3 or 4 best in each of the three sections, which makes for a nice 'digest' when I don't have the time to devote to slashdot or allthingsdigital.
Back in 2006, I sent the editor of the Insider an email asking why there wasn't an RSS feed for the Insider. (Somewhat understandably,) I did not hear back. It seems so strange to me that an RSS heavy site like CodeProject doesn't have a feed for their best publication! The only explanation I could come up with is that it is easier to count eyeballs in a newsletter than RSS. (The Insider has a big chunk of real estate devoted to ad space.)
I was so frustrated by having to get the Insider by going into my email that I cancelled my subscription... but the snarky subtitles drew me back in and I signed back up.
Since then, the way I get my news has changed - and it may have added one last straw to the camel's back. More often than not, I read email and news on my internet-ready phone. The newsletter itself is so-so on the tiny screen, and most of the Insider articles link to pages that reformat nicely for my phone, but when I get down to the codeproject forum discussions, I dread going in. The forum has no mobile mode... fonts and controls are impossibly small making reading difficult - and making a post is beyond frustrating. (I'm making this post from my PC because I couldn't complete it on my phone!)
In fact, nothing on the codeproject site is mobile friendly, which just seems bizarre for a tech hub with 6.5 million members.
I really do enjoy the CodeProject Insider, but I think I've reached my limit.
I truly hope that someone out there can set me straight and tell me that there is a mobile formatted codeproject that I have overlooked. Better still, a link to the Insider RSS (again, not the Newsletter RSS) would be awesome!

An RSS feed is definitely in the works, but we simply haven't had a chance.
As to mobile, I'm currently using my blackberry to type this. This site should automatically detect that you are on a mobile device but if not then we need to update our browser definition filesm

Just found a bug... Example here[^]
I was was trying to send the same message to both leppie and Bassam Abdul-Baki and got an error saying that the message has already been posted in that forum. This seems wrong as it was in different parts of the thread.

How does a message being posted in different parts of a thread mean it's not a dupe posting?
Does it make more sense, and does it protect the forums enough, to check new posts normally, and then add an extra check that dupe posts aren't for the same parent message?
