Add the ability to upload an image with a bug report. Would save us from having to save the image to some online cloud spot and posting a link to that.

It's already there - you just need to be a platinum "Author" or "Authority" to use it.
It's listed on the "Privileges" tab[^] of your profile - the ones with the green tick are the ones you can use.

Yah, doesn't help those of us without that "level". And I'm speaking of being able to upload it to the posting, not to some other CP location.

Why? If it's hosted on CP the admins can see it, which is the only important bit.
We don't want images visible in unmoderated forums simply because some stupid children will post inappropriate content, and that makes it more likely that CP gets blacklisted by over-nannying corporate blockers.
Articles and so on are fine, because they are moderated - but moderating every message would be a total PITA.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

**sigh** It's called user experience and I meant attached to the posting such that only the site admins can see it. Ah well. Whatever.

I'd suggest to increase the effectiveness of the Protectors and of the Spam Moderation Queue: when a message is marked as spam in the queue, if the user has 0 valid messages then the account is nuked right-away.
Just look at the Spam & Abuse watch today...

No good, there is to big chance of mistakes.
But reducing the number of kicks necessary to say 3-5 for obvious perpetrator, or give protectors more oomph in their kicks, would be another way.
The second option is possibly not the preferred way to go though.

Even with all the filters? It would work only for members who never posted anything (like new subscriptions or silent accounts that suddenly become active after some years). Even in the case of a mistake no content or used account would be lost.

Don't know if admin have noticed yet.
Unfortunately I can't think of a better solution than the one that is in place at the moment - unless it's to drop the number of reports required if more than one protector has kicked a post out of the moderation queue

Hi,
I'm getting an error message above articles when visiting the site from outside CP so searching in Google and land that way on CP, not sure if it has something to do with MS new browser.
Problem: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Ticket: 7864823
Server: Web01
Did a second search and was getting the same error on a different server:
Problem: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Ticket: 7864830
Server: Web03
With friendly greetings, 
Eric Goedhart

No issues on mobile Safari on iOS 8 point whatever the latest is. Articles display correctly.
Mobile Safari can be quite finicky, so a simple change can cause it to barf all over the page. It still works better than IE (as do most other browsers), though it can go all bonkers and use styles defined somewhere completely unrelated to the page in question. A reboot fixes that.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I am just curious: If I upvote an item: How many points does the member score to his rep. I see that for upvotes I score 3, 6 or 24 points. I just wonder what one of my upvotes is worth to the receiver?

Votes are wighted with the reputation of the voter and the cathegory of the item.
i.e.
My vote will give you 24 points in normal forums and 40 in an technical answer
Your vote will probably give 3 and 5 for a while and then rise to 6 and 10 when you get next level.
If I recall correctly there is an explanation about in the FAQs
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.

"Recent reputation points" table shows three up votes in the last 24 hours. However the number of votes remains unchanged. Any explanation?
|

The number of votes on what remains unchanged?

Under the title of any article you have how many people voted for the article. In my case 3 days ago the number was 345. If you look at recent reputation points of the same article, 4 people upvoted between Sept 1 and 2. Now the total is 346. It should be 349.
|
|
|
|
|
Ah.
Two possible explanations:
- You hit the daily limit[^] on the number of points per day you can earn on article upvotes
- We had a database issue yesterday morning for 2 hrs. This meant a few actions may not have been correctly registered against reputation. We're still investigating this one.

The first one is obviously not the case because I had 4 in two days. It is probably the second one.
|
|
|
|

I think you got it the wrong way around. From what I understood its about the number of votes on the article that only got incremented by 1, but he could see (from the reputation history) that actually 4 people voted on that article.

I did something simple somewhere on the site (I forgot what) and a popup says that I need to verify my email address. I see that there is a notification message for it. Going there (ie. read the notification message) says that a confirmation request was sent to my email. I don't see anything relevant. I searched for "confirmation" and nothing useful shows up. I don't see how to request a confirmation email anywhere on the CP website. I don't see any documentation on what to do.

Okay, I figured it out. Just going to the web page sends an email message. I was looking for a "send email" button that didn't exist. Since I had my email open when I visited the page, I couldn't find the message that hadn't delivered yet. POP3 download request found it.
Ya ya ya I still use POP3/SMTP. Same to you.

Whilst I understand the scope of users for this language to be somewhat limited and more specifically its focused on game development. I have started learning this language and write an article on it specifically for the Corona SDk however its not listed in tha languages in the article writer.
I kindly request it to be added for ease of tagging articles. I understand for formatting purposes, there are some keywords that might need addition, I can volunteer to do that too.
Kind Regards with many thanks. 
You can do anything you set your mind to! Believe in yourself!
