This like almost all the restrictions on the site were implemented because some kidiots were abusing the feature before. Some sites will suggest alternate usernames if the one you requested is already taken. How hard would implementing this for the CP display name be?
Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots.

Easy to implement, harder to implement efficiently (I think). I've bumped this up on the TODO list.

From what we can surmise a Microsoft patch that was applied caused a database server to go a little weird on us. We gave it a good, hard kick and it seems to be behaving again.

Is that the technical term for it?
Glad everything is back to normal anyway.

Working now, I think this may have been a case of user error since I'd been playing with the User Agent Switch extension and accidentally left it IDing as IE when I was done.

Apologies if this has already been suggested before; however, in the last few weeks, I've seen 3 individual users post "articles" through the submission wizard when they mean to ask a question on one of the boards. Would it be possible to place a link to the discussion boards, possibly with some red text on one of the pages of the article submission wizard, to make it crystal clear what the wizard is for, and help prevent this from happening?
As has been seen with the Lounge etc it is not always 100% successful, but it may help.

Seriously? Used the article wizard recently, and you'd have to be amazingly dense to wade through several pages, fill in a pages full of html, just for an urgentz question...

Serbia is like waste land on the map, as if there's no CP members which is certainly not true.

It's based on some old geolocation data which we are aware needs updating. We're working on it!

I am not getting anything in that page. Do I need to have any plugins for that?

It uses Google map but I am not sure whether you need any plugin. FF3 and IE7 show it nicely.
|
|
|
|
|
Ohh... I was checking this in IE as I don't have FF available here. But I think it should come in IE as well.

Yes, IE7 shows it properly.

Can we have "Average article Popularity" Display over Members article page?
When we open the "Article Submitted" Link, in the Top-Left its showing the "Average article Rating ". along with that we can have display of "Average article Popularity" on Top-Right Section.
Thanks in advance !!

Chris,
I like it! Double clock on a forum message Bookmark, and it puts you into Date Filter All, with the Post highlighted, and all posts (primarily the OP) visible to see what the comment was all about. Now if there was an EASY way to delete that pesky little bookmark, or how about doing the same operation for View Thread without the bookmark (or was that one of the things necessary to get this to work)?
Dave.

I've made a tweak so that when viewing a single Thread the date filter is ignored. This should help a little.

Chris,
Didn't work. Clicked view thread and only got this reply from you. Double clocking still works but leaves a bookmark that should be deleted.
