I absolutely need this option having just voted 1 to your post!!!

I would like to see something like that. There have been times of voting down an article, then the author going and making major improvements, I'd like to vote it up...

what circumstances we are supposed to use one or the other? Are they actually the same thing? Can we just get a single link that says inappropriate or something because from what I gather a lot of other people don't know whether to click on them or not for a lot of different scenarios.

Spam would be like UCE right (Unsolicited Commercial Advertising).
When someone is harassing others using obscene words or like that, we can use 'Abuse' option.
Abuse option is more powerful than Spam option. Of course, they also have a distinct line of demarcation and boundary between them. Isn't it?

The (currently) have the same affect, but allow me to see the difference in the amount of spam vs abusive messages

Where do things like Satips unnecessary happy faces and programming questions in the lounge fit into that?

Ok, I'm not more enlightened than I was when I asked this question so I'll assume programming questions in the lounge should be tagged as "abuse".

The textbox 'Filter By Name' in Who's Who at the Code Project can be made to have an Autosuggest feature instead of expecting the user to type a few characters of the name, submit to the server, wait for the response after roundtrip. Again refine the search etc.
An auto-suggest would be more friendly. Isn't it?

Wow, is it your mission to post a new suggestion every 18 hours?  Why don't you save them up and put them all in a list once a week.
P.S. have you ever done any web development? Your suggestion would be a nightmare for a site this busy with this many users on it.

John. I think it would actually bring down the resource consumption or the bandwidth load right? Currently server is being pulled to process the full .ASP page. Now with a JavaScript query, one little content and preferably a JSON string can be emitted so that the the data are shown in a dropdown quickly.
For example, Google Autosuggest is a salient example.

I always feel a colloborative knowledge sharing would greatly help. I was helping out my friend in his application. He is currently in Bangalore with audience in India and server and other offices in UK. For quick and good response, we resorted to Autosuggest. For this sake, we researched on JSON and it is really good.

No, sending mulitple requests just because someone clicked on a text box on a site with well over 4million members is a damn stupid idea. It would slow everything down and provide very little advantage.

But there should be a specific handler from Google towards this also. Isn't it?

I have a small observation regarding message storage and retrieval format in CodeProject messageboards and just thought I would share with here.
Two cases:
1) When the signature of a member is updated, then for previously posted messages still shows old signature. This means the signature text is actually hard-bound into the messages while it is being posted instead of dynamically being linked during display again. For a few members who have really long lines of signatures alongwith quotations with HTML tags and considering the amount of messages that are posted in CodeProject MessageBoards, I feel that there might be some extra data storage that is being actually used whereas, if signature is dynamically linked for display alone, we can save this and also need not render it as part of every message.
2) When a profile (display) name is changed, then the old messages still cling onto the previous name. Again, I guess this might be because they are hard-bound into the messages.
Wouldn't decoupling these from the actual messages be more friendly for the application?

I like to see signature history.

It is good to see the history of someone's display name - It means you can see who they used to be and what name they are hiding behind now.

Hi Colin,
I agree with the historical perspective.
But maybe that could be kept as modification records, that get displayed on the member's
own page, and doesnt have to be replicated in every message then. So messages could
continue to show the sig as it was at that time.
Sounds like a new DataTable, doesnt it ? Main problem could be those fancy automatic
sigs...
Greetings

But anyway it is a manual process of comparing the then posts and the current posts right?

Same here. I have several different sigs that are different on both my desktop and laptop. I use my sig history as a way of telling which machine I was at. Not that it is of importance to anyone but me, and it really isn't that important to me.

I want the sigs to remain the way they are. Same for the profile names.

Yes it is redundant data storage, features of software should be driven by the users of the software not technical concerns. Sometimes it's absolutely necessary to store data redundantly for the benefit of the end users.
