This member, Lallous has just posted an article without a title, making it unclickable.

Chris,
Can we include some defensive mechanisms into the posts submissions against these attacks? I recall a few days back, a member abused the website in the forums in the similar way.
|
|
|
|
|
This wasn't an attack - this was a bug at our end.
Relax

I logged out and cleared cookies and closed the browser. I observed that XYZ now online is decrementing. I think that moment of time a lot of people also were logging out. After launching a new IE, it showed
4,258,386 members and growing! 14,714 now online.
But even after logon, the online count does not increment.

The value is cached.

Hello
Will it decrement if user closes his browser without pressing logout ?
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's a session count. Sessions expire after 20 mins. the count changes each minute when expired sessions are purged

Do you mean to say that, session_end event will be fired when session is timed out even though he closed the browser. ?
|
|
|
|
|
the session would end even if the user did not close the browser after 20mins.

Some members have thier display name formatted differently and in different colors. I went to my profile and when I typed HTML into the display name, the CodeProject profile page broke down the UI very badly and I had to revert back the changes.
Where should I customize the Display Name?

I think it's a bad idea to change the color, it makes the forum look messy!
But maybe it's just me, who think so.
All the best,

At least, as of now only a small per centage uses coloring of thier names. So I guess, it is balanced now. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

By mistake a post of mine went to a wrong forum. Since there is now strong patrolling in forums  , I instantly chose to delete it and repost it across the correct one. I think because of slow response, the DELETE button was attempted twice and I got this message:
Wrong Password
Something somewhere has gone haywire, I believe.

This is following up Vikram's experience over here on missing out a particular post (http://www.codeproject.com/lounge.asp?msg=2101927#xx2101927xx[^])
I would say instead of just deleting the post after so many less votes have come, the logic should be as follows:
1) Blur the post like http://www.experts-exchange.com/[^] does for not logged on users, till thier subscription is verified.
2) After a while, with moderator/administrator intervention or a specified message expiry, the message can be deleted.
Wouldn't that solve the problem Vikram and others were facing today?

The logic for post deletion has nothing to do with the number of 1-votes. It is all to do with people marking it as spam or abuse. It just so happens that a spam or abuse marked post will automatically get a 1-vote also.

* Glasgow: Mock Objects, SQL Server CLR Integration, Reporting Services, db4o, Dependency Injection with Spring ...
* Reading: Developer Day 5

The reason for auto-hiding abusive messages is to hide them. Trolls post stuff to get a rise. If you remove the post from everyone and be consistent then they learn there's no point in trolling or spamming. If someone knows that there's a chance many members will still see their post then the disincentive is gone.
You post something abusive or inappropriate in the forums and the community votes it off the island then it's gone. End of story.

I agree. Tolerance on the long run might render abusive content being scattered across the forums making it disgusting for readers.
|
|
|
|
|
I agree completely, but what happens when the post that is removed is the opening post in the thread? What I have seen is that all of the responses are still visible but usually get visually associated with another message.
Wouldn't it be better in this case to remove the top (opening) post and all of the responses?
