To head off the spate of new users that are using their profiles to advertise/spam, why don't you prohibit the ability to add links to a user's profile or specify a home page (other than www.codeproject.com) until the user has reached the level of Silver Participant.

That would work, probably wouldn't even need to ba as high as Silver either.

Most of the pink list bios are link's only. As I said before, the link only bio is a 100% give-away.

They are no more!
I gave all of them a good smack, except for the [abusive name] guy. He was already history.
Dammned! I sure would have liked to see what that was all about.
Good job Nagy!
You find them, we grind them!
You do the seeking and we'll have them squeeking!
You do the hunting and we'll do the punting!
Ok, better stop now or I'll get carried away with this.
Cheers!

I've reported them. I sometimes think a lot of them are being set up by third parties to create context links to be hit by the likes of google's spiders.

So you don't think the guy based in Indonesia who is offering Tree services in St. Louis is legit?

I've looked at pages and pages of profiles via who's who. Pretty much without exception, people don't put links in there bios. I think Nish is one of few exceptions.
Where there are links, they 10 times out of 9, pink and fleshy. I intend to, time permitting, write a scrapper to go through profiles looking for links. 8 million members, check a thousand a day, I'll be up to date inside 30 years

Is this service still offered ? I could find no direct link to the page from the web site but did find a link in a recent post. Trying to sign up for a certificate gave me an error message when trying to move to the second section that said an error had occurred as my ip might have changed (???) or the session expired.
Cheers,
Brett

We already have a Comodo certificate which is due to be renewed. The price on the CP page however was slightly less for 3 years than for 2 years at InstantSSL so I was looking to save some money.

The page you were on should still work. However, we have seen issues with some browsers and it's in code that we have no control over, hence the decision to no longer support. All I can suggest is you try a different browser and/or ensure you have no add-ins such as web washers or ad blockers - they cause havoc.

That should be "quiet" instead of "quite".
The author of this survey was not quite on target.
I'd better be quiet now before I get bashed for being a wise guy.

Still not fixed the 'noice'.
