Ok, then it looks like the poor fellow is just confused.

Hi,
I have not placed my real address because of spam bots. Both addresses are the same and xxxx stands for 'dcarapic'. The point is that the same address has two accounts. One 'Dalibor' which is my first name and the second 'Dalibor Carapic' which is my first and family name. I log in normaly using my email account and password and write the messages normally. But when I click on 'Post' I get the error that I've copy/pasted.

Hi,
I do not know any dalibor.junek. I get the message that I've copy/pasted when I click on the 'Post Message' button. I can send you the screenshot of the page, or I can send you my password and then you can try logging in yourself and try to post.

Hmm I have just changed my lastname and password and it seems that I can post now. And also at the top I can see Dalibor Carapic instead of just Dalibor (as it was before). Apparently I did log in as that other guy even though I entered my email address and password.
My lastname had national characters (Dalibor Čarapić is the real name, I've just changed it to Dalibor Carapic) so this might be what caused the error.
Thanks for all your help.

I'm glad it sorted itself out but there's still something fishy going on. Sorry about the hassle.

How American-centric - did you not know there are no other valid characters other than those used in US Code Pages...

I understand this perfectly. As do people who feel the need to spoof member's names. Because of a series of abusive members accented characters were removed from member's names.
I have a better solution in the works. I dislike the situation as much as anyone.
However, I don't think this was the cause of problem in being unable to post.

Why can not 'View Optional Text Answers' also toggle as a hidden DIV and get displayed without serverside roundtrip in CodeProject Survey Poll?

As you know every article show how many people have viewed it. The fact is that if you have a look at that page several times, number of views increases. I think it would be nice if unique views per member was also counted and shown. What do you think?

Hi, I was just browsing through some code project articles about GDI, rated one I liked and thought... now it would be handy to see which other articles I have voted for. Perhaps to get an idea which other articles helped me in the past and to have a look at them again. You know, I am lurking on code project for a couple of years now and there was a lot of helpful information I was browsing through.
Suggestion 1: Add a link "Articles Rated" on each user's page to list articles that this user has voted for. If this is a privacy issue, only allow it for yourself (and administrators).
Suggestion 2: Add the average rating for articles and forum postings.... always wondered if I am a "do-your-damn-homework-slayer" or a generous 5er-voter. 
Cheers

Occasionally, someone will post a message in the Lounge as an informal poll, with a statement along the lines of "Vote 5 if you agree or 1 if you disagree".
How about allowing users to create their own polls? I have seen this done on other forums such as InvisionFree[^], and it seemed to work quite well.
You could allow users to add several answers for each poll and show the results as a bar-graph in the original post. Only registered users should be allowed to vote and only one vote per poll should be allowed. Polls could be either single or multiple choice.
Anyway, Vote 5 if you think this is a good idea, or vote 1 if you think it's a terrible idea.

The issue is the layout. Many BBS style boards have the original topic/question at the top and all an answers underneath that - 1 thrad per page kinda thing. This allows a poll to be displayed nicely.
Our forums, however, currently only support an "all threads" layout (much to some member's dismay).
Including the poll inside a message is possible but very messy because it could mean a single page of messages could have multiple poll voting and display forms - a lot of processing our end and a lot of HTML to be sending to viewers who may not be interested.
I'd like to do this but I'm not sure it's practical in our current format.

Why not just have a little box with the vote options in a thread and then use a bunch of Ajaxy magic to show results on the poll.
I think the format for declaring a poll should be something like:
<poll>
<title>Random Question</title>
<option>Option 1</option>
<option>Option 2</option>
<poll>

What's up with the css for quotes? All of a sudden, my quote text is the same size as the message text itself.

BTW, I went into my profile and reduced the font point size from 9 to 8, and that seems to have addressed the problem.
Lastly, how about giving us a WIDER textarea input for the signature. The one that's on the profile page is too small to be usable.

That is by design 
A sign is meant to be short and sweet. I don't want to send the message that Bigger is Better. This isn't Texas.

You already limit the number of characters - There's no reason to make it almost unusable as well.
Did you change something? Now, my sig is smaller than I want it. I'm going to go back and make it 9pt again.

Yes, I think Chris is playing around with the signature css. It seems to randomly change with the time of day

I know this has been suggested before - but I'm really wondering if this feature will likely be implemented in the near future? Or is it a lower priority? Basically just to be able to see the number of download requests for a file on your articles (wouldn't need to be publicly displayed - only to an article's author). You could enable it for all new articles only, and not worry about the articles that have already been posted. I think you already check that the user is logged in before serving the file, so a counter should be doable or not?
cheers

Yes, this is a fundamental peice of the puzzle and we have a developer assigned solely to this issue. The problem? 7 years of log files for around 15-20 machines, 12 logs a month for each machine, each log file between 3 and 7Gb.
We'll be parsing the logs to get accurate downloads for all files and then redoing the way downloads are served to ensure download counts stay accurate.

In huge threads, it is sometimes hard to see what post a reply is actually for. It would then be very hand with a link to parent. Please, pretty please, with sugar on top?

I am not entirely sure what that means. I'm guessing it's a colloquial expression.

Agh.. I can feel it slipping away.. damn. Well, it's gone.

"A pox on you" was once an expression of ill-will, deriving from the smallpox outbreaks of the 19th century.
But I only meant it as a joke
