Strange, I didn't fill out my profile, but I can access it. It even appears in the 'features' dropdownlist.

The message we see below the forums:
indicates new messages since 1-Jan-00 9:30
Can it be made a little more useful? Probably catch the user's previous login time and limit the images to only forums which have new messages after that time?

Probably a false alarm then. I think I saw it once or twice even when I was logged in. Thank You!

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

I was thinking that might be nice for touch screens.
EDIT: The ones on the home page I mean. Realized I wasn't being very specific...

Already done

I appear to have stopped receiving the Daily News email - the last one I received was Friday last week (14th June). I do find it useful and interesting & would be glad if it starts arriving again ...

I've got a bunch of monkeys out here, sharing the same connection through a router. They have just got hold of a new tool called "WireShark" along with (possibly) BackTrack or Kali. So they are busy wiretapping every now and then. CP is mostly on HTTP, except the money places, so I fear if they can easily snoop out my credentials and then fiddle here with my account!
So, please, if possible move the login part to HTTPS. Though, I know, HTTPS is computation intensive.
I'm aware by now (by reading previous posts) that login is sent to an https server but, since the login page is sent over HTTP it is very very prone to MITM (those monkeys are armed with tools too!), so please provide a link to an HTTPS target on the home page so that we can easily go there and sign in through an HTTPS page, just like WikiPedia has a secure sign-in page.

At the top right of the page is the "sign in" link which is a link to an HTTPS page.

Thanks, Got it!
But, is there any "https everywhere" option?

Not yet. We've been discussing it though, and it will happen.

While these comments are based on the specific incident described in my previous post involving the deletion of a C# forum question posed by Mahmaoodof, and answered by me, they are meant to be a general comment with broader scope ... on the process involved in removing messages.
What follows is not a complaint, but a query.
Scenario:
1. CP member "X" posts a question on a Q&A forum (like C#) involving programmatic access to an application's internal state.
2. CP member "Y," with platinum rep as "authority," posts a carefully written answer specifying the requirements for (remote) accessing internal state (such as an official API from the application creator), qualifying the answer by the fact that the application provider may not wish to allow such access, and that the information sought can be easily obtained/exported in the running program ... if you are a licensed user ...
3. CP member "Z," with platinum rep as "authority" reports the OP to moderation.
4. the OP, and answer, are removed ... in this I assume by CP staff, not member "Z" who, I assume, just reported it.
5. strange "traces" of both the OP, and the answer remain behind on CP, even though they cannot be found via Google search, or CP Search (see ProgramFox's comment on the thread below for a reference to a CP page with part of my response that I would never have found via search).
Discussion:
1. There are many questions on Q&A involving programmatic control, and interaction with, other applications from .NET, from Excel, to Word, to DataBases, etc. On a broader level, there are many questions involving the act of launching another program (even ones without a .NET api) from within a .NET app
2. There is a long history of the old OLE automation process, to launch and/or interact with applications from earlier MS platforms: thankfully, now a dinosaur for most of us. The days of SendKeys are behind most of us, praise be
Issues for discussion:
1. if a post on Q&A is judged relevant, and answered by someone with some level of CP reputation:
a. should the post be summarily removed without some notice to the person who answered the question.
b. should "fragments" of the OP and answer be preserved on CP in places that cannot be found by searching ?
Personal conclusion (again, written not as a complaint)
1. if this instance discussed here, as an example, does represent the process resulting from CP's "official" norms, then I believe it's yet another dis-incentive to carefully answer questions, and, prior to answering them (as I did in this particular case) to look at the history of the OP's author on CP to see ... in a "borderline" case ... if they have any history of message removal, being reported, etc.
2. the fact that Q&A forums have a long history of seeing many intelligent potential responders in effect "driven away" by the frequent "static," the argumentative and off-topic comments, emitted by a certain cadre of "reputation cash-cows," imho increases the importance of any other issue, like this one, that may serve as a dis-incentive to constructive participation.
Conclusion:
I've written on this forum at length, about Q&A issues, expressed my sense of loss that someone of the stature of Pete O'Hanlon should withdraw from participating in Q&A because of certain individual's behavior (Pete commented on this in this forum).
And, I've written about what I perceive as the loss of distinction between general-level discussion forums, and Q&A.
Yet, I cannot bring myself to actually remove anyone else's messages, or comments ... I just report them
Suggestions: ... Where's the "beat-the-dead-horse animated emoticon" when you need it
1. allow members of a certain rank to move questions from general discussion forums to Q&A forums.
2. before removing a Q&A message with an answer (particularly an answer with a certain rep level as authority ?) that has not been substantially down-voted, or reported as spam, or abuse, notify the person who answered the question, let them state why they think it's valid.
3. if a message, and its answers is removed, remove the "whole banana:" don't leave fragments of the OP and answer hanging around on CP.
4. if a substantitive clarifying question has been made as a comment on a Q&A OP, by a CP member with a certain level as authority, and no response has been made by the OP in 24 hours, "freeze" further comments or adding of solutions. This will weed out many stupid questions the OP has no "stake" in. Yes, I know, this is a very sticky one, because we have so many psychics on CP
5. Consider not automatically awarding ten points to every solution given to a Q&A question; award them points based on their being voted on, and/or accepted. Yes, I believe the Q&A "rep cash-cows"really are in danger of very high cholesterol levels
constructively, I hope, Bill

Bill, I noticed you have not had a whole lot of replies to this, so I will throw in one piece of information that should answer part of your post.
CodeProject made some changes to the Privileges policy a couple of months ago. Regular members (like you and I) used to be able to delete Questions and Answers once we reached certain levels, but that was changed to only allow deletion by certain member roles (Admin, Protector, etc.). At the same time, they lowered the number of reports needed to remove a Question or Answer from five to three. Since you cannot report Questions and Answers until you reach certain levels, it seems like the right strategy to me.
So, armed with the information from the Revisions page ProgramFox linked to, I believe the Question you posted an Answer to was reported by three members and the system automatically removed it from view. In other words, it was not removed by a lone member or by the CP staff.
I don't know the timeline of these events, but it is possible that two of the members had already reported the Question before you posted your answer.
