well, at least he's only answering things related to that product... its advertisements, but they are related to the subject matter on the questions...

Not sure though if this is a bug. This post[^] yesterday has reported a user who spammed in the Lounge. The account was already inactive but a couple of minutes ago, another user[^] with the same user name have posted another crap. How was this possible?

Because User Names are not Account ID's.
There ought to be a check for uniquity (Check this is a word - ed).
However if an account is deactivated then the name probably becomes available again.

I don't think thats right as fat_boy had to keep adding another underscore on each re-incarnation.

He was banned, not removed. At least initially. Banned means the member name is still locked. Removed means the name is available to others.

Ok, this happens on any page with a forum (so basically 99% of the site). Once the page has fully loaded, and then if I try to browse to a different URL, the browser just hangs. IE9 by the way. If I try to close the tab, I get this message:
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/Uploads/20248/CP_IE_Capture.PNG[^]
So CP's running some background script that prevents the page from closing normally, which explains why the page won't redirect to the new URL.

I was just about to say: "IE?".
We've been looking into this and it seems some of the ad scripts from third parties trigger IE into thinking a script is still running (and sometimes that a download is still completing, even though fiddler clearly states otherwise).
Regardless, we'll look into it.

Has the computation of the monthly top experts in Q&A changed? I am seeing figures like 360, 331, 313, etc.

To head off the spate of new users that are using their profiles to advertise/spam, why don't you prohibit the ability to add links to a user's profile or specify a home page (other than www.codeproject.com) until the user has reached the level of Silver Participant.
