[serious]Seems like its spam season today. There were a few that were reported lately. [/serious]
[seriouser]Now, did someone wrote an article about automatic account creation for CP?  [/seriouser]

Hi,
I don't see Stats tab for my articles anymore. Has it been removed?

I noticed a few issues with search, but let me start by introducing you to Strong Bad:
(>_<)
That is Strong Bad (or Cartman, depending on who you ask). If you go to this message, you can see that Strong Bad is in the subject line of the message. I came across this old message via a search in the Lounge:
http://www.codeproject.com/Search.aspx?qf=Strong+Bad&q=Strong+Bad&categoryid=f1_1159_&justmine=true
Here are the three issues I see:
- I only see part of Strong Bad in the search results (i.e.,
(>_). I checked the HTML source and it appears that both the subject line is cut off early and the greater than is not HTML encoded (perhaps you only HTML encode less thans?). - I see the search query twice in the search URL above. That may be intentional, but thought I'd mention it just in case it's not.
- I see "justmine=true", but I don't see any way that I am identified in that query string. So, if you click that URL, you may get different search results than the ones I see. I see the number 1159 in the query string, which could be some sort of search result identifier, but I'm guessing it is a forum identifier (in this case, I was searching the Lounge).
For the third point above, perhaps you could provide some sort of permalink for search results?

Dear CP Team,
I came across a CodeProject group in Facebook at this URL:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/6250766196[^]
The member count is around 205. I have the following doubts on this group:
1) The logo still feebly shows 'Your Visual Studio .NET ...'
2) Instead of saying 'The CodeProject' it says 'CodeProject'.
Hence thought would clarify the same with you.

Good spot - though a couple of high profile members apear to be friends... so it may be.

There are a few Facebook codeproject groups, all unofficial (as far as i can tell).
I have always thought that Chris should create an Official one to save any confusion.

No it's not, but we're going to reach out and try to solve some confusion.

It seems your email mailing list is not in accordance with Can-Spam. You must have a option to remove all selections and not force user to unselect all choices.

From http://business.ftc.gov/documents/bus61-can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business[^]
5. Tell recipients how to opt out of receiving future email from you. Your message must include a clear and conspicuous explanation of how the recipient can opt out of getting email from you in the future. Craft the notice in a way that’s easy for an ordinary person to recognize, read, and understand. Creative use of type size, color, and location can improve clarity. Give a return email address or another easy Internet-based way to allow people to communicate their choice to you. You may create a menu to allow a recipient to opt out of certain types of messages, but you must include the option to stop all commercial messages from you. Make sure your spam filter doesn’t block these opt-out requests.
The key phrase here is "you must include the option to stop all commercial messages from you" which we most definitely do. We provide a link to your settings page where you can unsub yourself, and the unsubscribe page itself has a "Remove my account entirely" box that will remove you completely.

A colleague has been an user (lurker) of CP for a few years and it looks like he's accidentally stumbled on my profile. He asked me what's all those three bulleted points on my profile.
Can't blame him, because it doesn't say "award" or "winner" anywhere. (for example, 1 Jan 2010: CodeProject MVP 2010). Three years of it in the past, and it hasn't struck me. I think if awards and prizes that a member has won should be indented, and must be put under a small section like "Awards won" or "Awards or recognitions"; and this should ideally be slightly separated from the biography text that the user may have added.

Now, that's a good suggestion.

I'd settle for cake.

Kind of a moot point, really, considering the cake is a lie.

I do not know if this is the correct place as Bugs and Suggestions did not seem correct.
I opted out of the new Web newsletter (at least it said it was new). I got -50 points, but I do not see +50 for starting it. As I never selected it I do not know when to look for the 50 but I did look back a couple of days.
Just curious.

I went to the safari park with my father at the weekend.
We were discussing the mating habits of the different animals when I said to him "Do these buffaloes mate for life?".
He said "They're bison".
I said "Well, it's a free world dad".
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.
