If you wanted to make a new separate suggestion to suppress rep points when you accept your own solution, I'm sure it would be something for the team / community to mull over.
My impression is that it isn't a huge problem, though.
In this case, of the questions asked that had solutions, a fairly large percentage were self solutions. Were they all legitimate situations? I want to believe so. But the more self solutions you accept, the more people might wonder. What I was trying to get at was more along the lines of, "if 80% of the solutions on your questions are your own solution, maybe try and lower that percentage a bit."
Thanks,

Ok, thanks Sean. It's possible that the OP was doing that sort of thing as an easy way to pad up his rep score. I was just wondering why CP has a policy against someone marking their answer as the solution. If CP does not, then that's a good thing in my opinion.

No, AFAIK there is no policy about it but, the problem is that many, many times the people doing that answers themselves within minutes. So... if it was so easy, why ask?
90% of that people doing that get a pattern and when they get discovered, they get most of them time nuked.
If the user self answered after a reasonable period of time, then it usually is a legitime solution. I have seen that more times and nothing happens. It is just the result of hard work and willing to help people coming in similar situation, and that is the purpose of the site.
However, there are people less patient or tolerant, or it might be a user that at once self answers several of his own questions. Then the probability of getting reported is higher.
In addition, the reports are still in perpetual mode.
That's how Nagy got nuked. And that's why the suggestion to have a deadline for the reports to vanish after a reasonable lapse of time was made. Spamers / Abusers and other people like get nuked by the CP Guard quite fast.

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.

There is no Problem at all. I like codeproject very much.
Just I am not a coder any longer. That's all!

There is. On the bottom of the page (only goes up to 10 or 11 tho).

I think he means a textbox, where you enter the page number.
There have been times I would have liked to have that.

Ah k.
Didn't think off that

The text box is already there: The URL field of your browser.
It is counting the offset number of posts in the 'fr' field. So you need a little computation by multiplying the page number minus one with the per page value selected on top of the forum (25 by default).

Yes, I've done that.

I've needed it twice or so over the years I've been a member, when the search for a post gave me null results. You know those times when you know what the post was about but you've forgotten the exact wording.
It was no request from my side, merely an interpretation of the OP.
Personally I would like the possibility to go to a certain date, but that would be rather far down on my wish list.

Looks like you have tweaked the spam filter back to the point where I can post again - some may regret that

I saw that the "Javascript" tag in Quick Answers is wrongly spelled, it's actually "JavaScript". When I went to the "edit tags" page, I tried to rename Javascript to JavaScript, but I got the error "This tag already exists".
Can we please be able to rename tags when only changing the case of some letters?
The quick red ProgramFOX jumps right over the Lazy<Dog> .

I don't get this error, but when i'm trying to change it, nothing happens.
Now, i got it ;(

When trying to change password, the button "save settings" does not seem to work. In stead at the url addressbar is says: "Please enter URL".
Any ideas?
