Users Profile + Twitter

I notice you have on the users profile you have the users twitter name, but on the users Articles page you have a Follow On Twitter link and graphic.

How about either remove the twitter username and show the same graphic used on the article page, or show the graphic next to the twitter name.

Also;

How about adding another Tab to the users profile (to the right of Reputation) for Twitter, and add the Twitter Profile widget? You could customise this to use the CodeProject colour scheme.

<script src="http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js"></script>
<script>
new TWTR.Widget({
  version: 2,
  type: 'profile',
  rpp: 5,
  interval: 6000,
  width: 'auto',
  height: 800,
  theme: {
    shell: {
      background: '#eb9807',
      color: '#000000'
    },
    tweets: {
      background: '#ffc052',
      color: '#000000',
      links: '#0726eb'
    }
  },
  features: {
    scrollbar: true,
    loop: false,
    live: true,
    hashtags: true,
    timestamp: true,
    avatars: true,
    behavior: 'all'
  }
}).render().setUser('daveauld').start();
</script>

and just set the supplied username in the .setUser line.

Question Locks and Delete

28-Jul-10 7:37

Piping in twitter posts to CodeProject directly means that we're effectively publishing content that we have no control over, other than to block it.

If someone wants to follow someone else on twitter then there are plenty of great twitter clients.

I was looking through the Q&A's this morning, and noticed that one of them had the usual question is locked for editing by xyz, lock expires in x minutes. However i also noticed that the link to delete the question is still visible.

I would have thought if the question is locked for edit, then another user should not be able to delete. I didn't try to delete, as the question didn't need deleting so do not know what would have happened.

Maybe hide the Delete link if question is editing. (same as you do with the improve answer link)

It was a code update that touched too many moving parts at once, so I had to decouple the hamster wheels for a couple of minutes.

I am not sure if this is connected to my previous problem so I am making it a new message.

Yesterday I used the print button to get a printer-friendly version of an article, now any article comes up in printer-friendly mode.

I am probably missing something simple, but I can not see an obvious way to turn this off.

It's probably me. It usually is! In the absence of a suitable emoticon [^]

yesterday I posted an alternative (#2) to this tip/trick[^]. All went well and it showed up in my list of artciles.

Today, the TT looks the same it did yesterday (in particular, it hasn't been deleted), however it no longer appears in my articles list!?

Anyway, things may look better tomorrow.

sign out failure

I was unable to sign out from CP today. I had to delete some 30 cookies (beta and www) before the sign out widget worked for me. Now it works all the time.

IMO signing out should never fail (whatever the computer/cookie situation is), it is a safety operation.

PS: I am aware something similar has been posted a few days/weeks ago.

I agree. I've reworked the cookie system to be more vigilant in cleaning things up.
