How about limiting the number of threads a user can start in one day, if that user was named 'Ilíon'? I mean c'mon, 13 threads started in 24 hours? And all of them are crap, as are grayed by the other members...
Or this might be based on ranking. Ie:
bronze - 3 threads allowed per day
silver - 5
gold - 10
platinum - unlimited
Thanks.

I suggest that you just leave him aside. He's just craving attention by starting inane threads. I also think that he has a severely unstable mind - if nobody replies to him, he adds replies to his own threads (the replies make no sense too).
The best way would be to just ignore him (or may be report his crappy messages and have it removed) and he will have no option but to go away after a while. I can understand your feeling, but trust me, ignoring him is actually the best way.

At least it is the SB - he does not pollute any of the other forums so I would agree with Rajesh, ignore him. You may notice that he is getting less and less responses especially if CG gets bored.

FYI we've got an idiot trying to embed crap in the hardware board. So far nothing he's tried has worked but the cluestick needs applied.

The homepage has the link http://www.codeproject.com/script/Content/SiteMap.aspx for "Your place for 20,953 free Visual Studio and .NET articles, code snippets, discussions, news and the best bunch of developers on the net." Although it works, the top of that page says page not found.

I'm trying to post my first article, but when I get to the "upload files" step, every file I try to upload gives me this error, and I can't continue to upload the article:
"Only the following file types are allowed: JPG, GIF, PNG, ZIP, TXT, PDF, XML"
I'm only trying to upload zip files and png files - is the uploader case sensitive on the extensions or something?!
I'd really appreciate any help that anyone could offer!

Sorry about that - try now.

In the last few minute, it would appear that a new "autoscroll" behavior (opening a post also causes it to be scrolled to the top has been enabled along with a rather unattractive yellow banner advisory on how to get better performance).
This new behavior, in addition to being quite annoying, completely breaks if CPHOG is enabled (the post neither moves nor opens).

A previously used profile name cannot be reused; even if it is not being used by anyone else; and I think the reason for that is: because message-post author-names never change(in a broader sense), and the reason for not changing post author-names is probably: security, clarity, avoiding confusion etc.
But why can't one reuse a profile name previously held by him/her? (That shouldn’t cause any problems)

A name should be able to be reused if it was your own. Only those names in use by member's marked as Active are unavailable.

I wanted to change my current name to my previous name "rahul_sindhu", but CP is not allowing me to "reuse" it! should I wait for my profile to be marked as "Inactive" or is there another way?
!HELP!

Can you increase the number of upload entries in the ASW from its current to 20 or 30? I have 67 files in my latest article. Going back 7 times and clearing all the entries (since there's no Reset button for updates) is really painful.

|

67 
I've got a todo item to make the list expandable - 20 seems reasonable though there will be problems due to the maximum upload size being more easily reached meaning more chance of the whole lot being rejected by the server.
The other TODO we have is to ajaxify the entire upload thing which may also help.

Thanks, please don't forget to add the Reset button when in update mode (currently Reset only appears when submitting a new article).

Added.

I would suggest a Flash Uploader like in MediaFire. You can allow the users to queue the article contents but the uploader would enqueue the contents to the server besides showing a progress of upload gracefully.

The popup tha is whown on the new post page when the preview button is clicked should be wider, at least 800px
When code is posted one usually has to esize that window to see it correctly

And the preview pop-up should not go and stick to the top left corner, please. It would be better off shown in the middle of the screen.

In our profiles page, can we please see the total number of posts per forum. I'm almost up to 6,000 and would like to see where I've spent the most time (Lounge vs. Soapbox). Many merci's Maunder.
