all good now, Chris. I set up the account but it takes a very long time for things to process on the settings page.

This is off topic from the OP, but how does one sign in with their CP login?
Just enter the email and password? Or are there some other steps to follow?
Help!

Same here. That got me to wondering what the point was if I had to create a new account anyway.

Well, I am happy that is isn't just me having the issue!
Wonder if it is a bug? I have seen something like this happen on another set of sites (can't remember site names at this time, I believe they were various tech forums, will try to dig the URLs back up later), and when I asked about it, the admins replied it was a bug in the login system they were using. It was fixed within an hour (The bug also prevented anyone from actually signing up! Most likely not the case here.)

When you sign in the first thing we do is give you the opportunity to ensure your settings are correct, plus we do one more important thing: we make sure you agree to the Terms of Use of the site.
I'll add clarification on that page to explain why we need that one-more-click.

I have suggestion.
like when we recieve an email notification about an member posting something in the Comments and Discussions in one of our articles, it would be nice to have that in the topbar as well. A bit like facebook notification about replies a.s.o.
With great code, comes great complexity, so keep it simple stupid...

Sorry if this was already suggested, but could we include the 1-5 score of a message also not only in below the text, but in the inline area, outside of the message body? It would make it a lot easier to distinguish the good messages (particularly answers) from the bad ones without reading through all of them.
If you wanted to make it as small as possible, you could use color or some other indicator to show how many votes have led to the specific score, though I would just write it the same way it is now in the message proper.

Have you noticed how some message titles appear blue, some green, and others grey? They are colored based on the votes it has received (blue is neutral, green is good, grey is bad). The thresholds of values that cause the color to change are influenced by the value set in the "Noise" drop down at the top of each forum.
Is that what you are looking for?

|
Ok, that makes a lot of sense. Sorry for the bother. Thanks a lot!

This suggestion is based on this message.
If I quote somebody in my signature, they should get one reputation point each time I post a message while their quote is in my signature. Only one member may be quoted at a time for a given signature. Perhaps add a "Quote to Signature" button that facilitates this.

Quote that.

I can only quote original phrases. Isn't that from Star Wars? Or Spider Man? One of those "S" movies.

I object.
It is an original. I got quoted all over the place: Bananas, Liar Liar, you name it.

Is there a Holy War in progress? 
This one[^] doesn't look so bad to me.
Another victim of the crusade: electronic voting machine[^].
OK, I recognize the above is a victim of the 'deleting' crusade.

The user has made no attempt to provide background or context nor have they asked an actual question.
"iam trying to make android app which stores,display,manipulate the images in sqlite database.I need help as iam new to android."
What sort of help? What has been tried? Which bit do you need help on?

Apparently he has NOT tried hard. But that is not a novelty in the Q&A.
From the sentence I guess the OP needs some background in Android development, this is the reason why I suggested him the Burnette's book and to search for some tutorials about SQlite development on Android platform.

And I definitely appreciate you trying to help.
I get very frustrated, though, when members put little or no effort into explaining their issue in a way that allows someone to provide direct help. We're here to help each other do our jobs. We're not here to do each other's jobs, nor be surrogates for doing one's own research.
(In re-reading I guess I need to add the rant icon here...)

Why oh why can't we get a +500 button for quotes such as these? 
Why is common sense not common?
Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level where they are an expert.
