I don't know about the articles, but with the QA and other normal posts the event gets fired from v2 and later.
The first edit is not couting for the last ?months?. It has been already spoken so I guess that it is in the ToDo-List.
M.D.V. 
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
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I wouldn't go naming suspects if I were you. The admins are more than capable of seeing who downvoted you, and all you have done is potentially maligned at least one user. That isn't very nice of you.

That was a good point. I agree

Chris,
it seems like the "our Community" section on the start page is not updating anymore - Just look at the Lounge and then back to said section (I know that the sync takes abit of time, but one of the threads is already over an hour old at the time I type this message).
Maybe you should take a look wether a server needs a kick to get a good start into the upcoming new week.
- Note: I recognized this Issue last weekend, too but I can't find the thread right now.
Edit: Found the Thread[^] - Seems to be the same Issue, but I can't tell wether it applies for the other sections mentioned in the thread again.
Edit 2 Seems like everything is back in order now - I'd check the Logs anyways.

Hi admins,
I was thinking: why not adding a captcha image when a new user wants to sign up? Some spam (not all, however) is probably posted by a spam bot: adding a captcha prevents a bot to sign up. Of course, a human could create the account for the spam bot, but still, adding a captcha would at least reduce the number of spam posts/spam accounts.

|

This would add an annoyance to 99.99% (or whatever) of legit users for the sake of spammers, with the biggest issue being that we already have anti-bot technology in place and spammers are not always bots.

What about adding phone no. verification? The reason is, some one can have many email accounts just in a minute but can't have phone nos like this.If some account gets blocked,that no. should also be blocked.This can be helpful to prevent Abuse/Spam more effectively.
Mechanism can be implemented if some one again tries to use that no. e.g. Admin can grant access (on request) to use that number with another sign up.

Would not work. Making up a phone number is trivial and the admins can't ring them all to verify whether or not a number is genuine.
|
|
|
|
|
No need to ring them all. e.g. someone try to sign up for new account than he/she will be asked to enter phone no. After that,verification code will be sent and only after successful verification of the sent code,the account will get activated.

And for those who don't have messaging capabilities on their phone? How do you differentiate? What about people like me who distrust handing out numbers? You have just alienated me by requiring my phone number.

It's okay Pete, I'll just forward your number from NCA database of known associates of "The Flockfather".

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.
