"You do not have permission to perform this action"
so I can't reply to a forum message any longer? good grief.
PS: Starting a thread still works, I expect lots of one-message threads. We tried StackOverflow, are we now going after Twitter?

Lounge, the ad (now "removed") above my "Test" post.

A case of a bad error message. The message had been marked as abuse in between you starting to post, and actually posting your reply. You can't reply to closed messages.

OK

Are you sure? When it failed to accept my message, I reloaded the page and the ad message was still there, not removed yet. It was only then that I hit the "Remove" widget, which resulted in a score of 1 (3 votes).

We cache messages, and unfortunately we still haven't had a chance to move to a central cache - we're still caching server by server.

I got this email yesterday :
Subj: CodeProject | Your latest changes have been approved
Hi John Simmons / outlaw programmer,
Congratulations!
The changes you have made to your alternative tip 'Could not find a part of the path while doing a File Copy'
(http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/142949/Could-not-find-a-part-of-the-path-while-doing-a-Fi) have been approved and your article is now
publicly available.
I think a recent change to CP hosed it up, and it looks like it is now an original tip instead of being the alternative tip that it actually is. Luk voted it as if it was its own tiup, and left a comment, but I can't find the comment anywhere on CP.

Looks like your alternative tip was never associated with the original tip correctly. I've fixed this, but the original tip has been deleted which means that all alternatives are also deleted.
Doing this made sense in the old system, but I'll make a change so that even if the original article is nuked, the alternatives live on.

But on its own, an alternative tip won't always make sense. I see two possible solutions:
0) Remove all alternatives when the original is deleted
1) When an original is "deleted", it becomes non-votable, non-editable, and the poster looses/gains points as appropriate. That way, the alternatives that remain have some context.

It really depends on how authors write alternatives. If they write them as something that can stand on its own, then there's less of a problem.
When articles are deleted they are usually deleted because either they are spam, they are too poor to be displayed, or because the author really doesn't want it visible anymore. In all cases it doesn't make sense to still show the content. Kinda defeats the purpose of deleting something.

Having all kinds of articles (real and tiny ones) unified seems like a good idea. All isn't well yet though:
I couldn't find a way to add a message to an existing tip (this one[^]) under the new presentation, I was hoping to find a "Add new message" button/widget but didn't see one. I was however capable of voting and typing some text in the tiny box one then gets (why does it have to be such a hobgoblin box anyway?). And then, I can't see the message that I hope I created???
[ADDED] I was rewarded one participant point for an "Add Comment" event, so the message probably exists [/ADDED]

You made a comment on an alternative tip I made (I think it's the one you posted above) that appears to now be posted as it's own tip. Something Chris did is hosing things up a bit. (And I'm not sure a vote of 3 is applicable in that context - ).

Hi John,
I had to vote some number to get a way to enter my message.
4 or 5 seemed unjustifiable, and 1 or 2 I'd probably not survive, so I went for the middle of the road, which also is rep-neutral.
And you're right about things currently being hosed up in T&T land.

All fixed. A few stragglers were missing forums but they have been added.
UI update (clarification for John's concerns) coming (hopefully) within the hour.

My reputation history shows me posting a message March 2, 2012 @ 11:52AM. Though the link points to this message[^]. I posted that back in August 2010.
