I like this idea, also beside "borrowing" the computing power a thing that I would find interesting is environment testing (these are two main reasons why I usually ask such a favour to my colleagues).
So for example instead of hassling and maintaining multiple VMs, one could just ask if anyone could run something on some specified environment.

Glad that you like it, one dozen of guys helped me in benchmarking (and thus improving) my C etudes, having only two old laptops (Core 2) limits a lot my testing  I feel overusing their good will, so a "dedicated" room will serve well avoiding the constant need for favors.

This one has 22 reports[^] but is still there. It is a spam article reported a while ago.

Seems gone now for me.
Most likely it's because of different categories of reports.

Aside from there being no entries in any vital sign component (0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0), under "No Biography provided", there's also no:
"Your CodeProject profile in your Blog" ... etc like here:
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=660010[^]
While someone's busy deleting the spammer, could they also take a look at my profile and delete this smudge under "No Biography Provided" please. From under there all the way down to the last bullet "Reputation = total reputation points" would be nice.
Thank-you.

I get the issue with no edit bar nor emoticons on Firefox on my iPad. Could an admin look into that?

Ah - the FireFox version that no longer uses Gecko.
It's a sad, sad day.
(Fixed, but will need to wait for full testing later today and then deploy)

If you search for "*" in the .NET Framework forum, the second result is a Korean spam message that was deleted last week:

I can understand the results being cached for a while, but six days seems a bit excessive!

A lot seems to depend on what people actually voted on it - so if there were sufficient different votes, it would show 13 votes but they aren't all necessarily 13 plagiarize votes.

Exactly.

What is the new "Popular" star on the posts, I mean, what is the algorithm for that (Maths free, please! )... I think 7 up-votes count.
Also, Chris, I think that your profile and the blog under it can be a good place to broadcast any new features. When I wanted to get to know of this "Popular" thing, I visited your profile page, didn't find so I thought I may ask the question and provide a suggestion here.
May help others to find out new features on the blog, in a much friendly way.

You mean on Quick Answers? It means something with a rating over 4.5.
The reason there's no blog post on it is because it's been there over 5 years!

No, no, no, no... I am aware of that one. I have seen that on many of my answers.
I am talking about the one that is on the forum messages. I am sure that hasn't been around since 5 years. Say, like this message of mine, http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4881434/So-you-mean-to-say.aspx[^], has a star with it, right next to the subject. That came up recently.

I'm with you. I think Chris is playing a practical joke. I noticed the star recently on a Lounge post and couldn't remember having seen it before. Maybe it's just a very rare occurrence.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

An update:
I know I said the popular star has been around forever. However, I realised it just never worked properly. We made a change a few weeks ago that corrected a caching issue that was holding us back from being able to determine popularity for messages in the forums.
