Nish,Thank you for your replay. But still the account name shows my old account name,Yewondwossen C.Tadesse (Wonde) which suppose to be Wonde Tadesse. And there is no way I can able to edit this. Do you have any other suggestion ?

The biography is shown only at the bottom of your articles; AFAIK it is live, so if you change it, the changes will be reflected in all your articles.
The signature is shown at the bottom of your forum messages, however it gets copied and stored together with the message.
The user name is also copied into the message record, however the forum popups do show the current name, not the historic one; I am not sure how it is handled for articles, tips/tricks, and Q&A.

Actually my question was on comments, answers and message replays. In articles, yes it reflects. So is it a bug or meant to be like this? It is quite ugly to see in consistency in these places.

When I reported that an article had a 2-vote without a message, Chris indicated that it may have been because the vote/message were not persisted in an atomic fashion. That seemed unlikely to me, and it has just happened again, this time with a 3-vote. I also happened to me once before and and also happened to S Mewara.
Having noticed these 4 instances of this issue, it seems like more than a fringe occurrence and should probably be considered bona fide bug.

I think I know of at least two ways to vote an article down without creating a message showing I did so, so I did not buy the transactional myth... IIRC I never used any of them (it just takes some logic to figure it out), however if you want me to experiment and confirm, just name your article!
BTW: I'm not the only one, the subject has been hinted at before, also without providing the details.

"myth", eh?
Considering I've been dealing with database issues all week I thing the term "theory" is one I would choose, but as always, Luc, I value your input and if there's an issue you've spotted I will have it corrected this weekend if possible.

I just came across another example. Two votes of 1 and one vote of 3 with none of them having corresponding messages. Though, that article is a bit old, so the requirement to post a message with a vote may not have been in effect for 3-votes at the time.

Hello,
As far as I know, the page where we can add a tip/trick does not have the ability to upload and show images, as it does for articles. So my question is, can i upload the image elsewhere and show them using the ![]() tag? It would be helpful if some site administrators could clarify.
EDIT - 1 reason I want to post it as a tip/trick is that it does not have enough content for an article and would just be appropriate for a tip.
Thanks!
Cheers,
Karthik

Previously others have added images to external sources and linked to these in the tip/trick, the site editors/admins will then download local copies of the images and then update the tip/trick.

@DaveAuld - Thanks. Let me go ahead and post it then!

I noticed a few days back that CP started only using the middle of my screen and wasting a fifth on either side with gray background. (Firefox latest version)
Everything feels cramped and smaller now.
Is this a mistake or is this fixed width what is considered "correct" now for websites?

Thanks Dave.
What a truly bizarre idea, it must be a nightmare to maintain.

Since it can happen to even the most careful, how about another button on the message editing screen that says "Check for repost". This would take the message text and search that forum for posts with that text.

It doesn't take much time to click on a random link, then paste the same post and click submit.

For spammers like that, it shouldn't take long for members to notice and click the "Report" button on the spammer's profile page. That will disable the spammer's account.
