I would not sign up to this site if it required a phone number.
I don't fill out any sort of form online that requires a mobile number.
Plus, how much would it cost CP to text 10 million phones all over the world?

But then surely you would have to validate if the construct to a number is correct with the corresponding country? As I know with the UK the number can vary in length depending on the area code.

That can be tackled based on the selected country. Gmail works the same way with Two step verification.

Chris,
I suggest you make it clearer on the settings page that for the Google and Linkedin, only the ID number is required.
I have noticed a few users that have copied and pasted the the full url, which then gets stripped of symbols (:/.) by your backend to just a long string, which means the urls don't work.
(either that or you smarten up the logic to parse out just the ID).
e.g. look at this users Google+ and LinkedIn links: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=9506038[^] Clicking the G+ link will give a 404.
Cheers,

Currently, we can only vote to remove forum messages using the red report flag. But I think it would be useful to have an option to vote to move a message to a more appropriate forum, for example if someone posts a programming question in the Lounge, we can vote to move it to the appropriate programming forum.

Hi ProgramFox,
I have been "advocating" the idea that CP members with a certain Rep rank (as Authority ?) could move specific types of questions from such language specific forums as "C#" to the QA forums for some time now. While believing that would be a "good thing," I am also aware that empowering certain users with such a privilege could generate its own set of problems.
There's been a lot of discussion about forum "identity" issues on this forum.
I believe that Chris, and the CP staff, are thinking hard about the future organization of the forums; one long-term CP member commented Chris was considering having only one type of forum.
If there were to be only one type of forum, my preference would be to have all forums have the facilities now found in QA forums ... facilities for commenting, voting, OP selecting the response they think most useful, etc.
The only thing I am certain of is that CP will evolve, and I trust Chris and CP staff to, moving slowly and prudently, address forum identity issues in a way best for all 10 million+ of "us."

The button means that there're still logged on session cookies. You'll get that button if you log on in two different browsers. You'll also get that button if your browser stops working and if you restart it and log on again: the previous session cookie still exist when you created a new.

How is it now? (Maybe try Ctrl+F5)

The stars are back and there's no latent "reason" input prompt anymore. One thing still slightly askance is the line continuation phenomenon leaves the text "Rate:" on the previous line while the stars are now somewhat awkwardly in the center of the next line; all in all making a normal header space on the page fat.

I'm assuming IE8, right?
Can I ask, with all respect, why you're using IE8?
We're *this* close to halting all support for IE8 and below but I know there are still plenty of users and I really would like to know why. Chrome and Firefox both work on XP SP2 and they are far, far superior to IE8.
Again: not judging, just puzzled.

IE8 works. Upgrading involves running the gauntlet of new features. Just not worth the aggrevation. I did upgrade once, as I recall, and I couldn't disable ClearType, or some other glaring disfunction made me instantly uninstall it.
If I try again, it'll be for just this reason ... the dreaded double asterix!
And I'll surely be sad for days after the capitulation ...

Some things need to be let go.
IE8 is one of them.
Be strong.

Unfortunately, here, the browser is set by IT fiat.
It is normalized for the generic user, not for "power users"/developers!

I have an example project that I created to answer one of the Quick Answer. How do I upload this in CP so the author of the question can use it?
Think! Don't write a line of code unless you absolutely need to.

You don't, directly. If it's good enough for an answer, though, why not create a Tip/Trick that refers to the original article and link to that?

You could put a link to a downloadable file on some Cloud service like DropBox.

You could put a link to a downloadable zipped file on some Cloud service like DropBox in your reply to the OP.

Looks fine to me in Firefox 24, Chrome, and Chrome Canary. The text doesn't get chopped off until the width gets below 920px.
