The profanity filter is being a little over protective, and changing the actual url as well as the display text.

Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

Indeed. A Derby County message board I occasionally read has a similar problem, it stars out Scunthorpe as well as players like Dean Leacock, and Danny Shittu. I think it also censors Dick, which is my own father's name.

OK, now you whining little sobs. Poke tongue | ;-P

On the link do mouse click for context menu and select "Copy link".
Open up a fresh tab in your browser and insert what you copied. For all non-working links there is at most one letter replaced by a *.
So fill in the correct letter and your ready to go.
I went through all the links this way within six minutes. A select few (3-4) already had 5 hits the rest had hit count of 3 after I delivered my punch.

Get it done already!

Sure that would also do!

Nevertheless, we need to make sure your list is completed so the master of the hamsters can attach the "fixed icon" to your post.

Cheers!

There seems to be a plethora of spammers/trolls popping up recently and posting nonsense or asking stupid questions ("Does my dress look sexy", etc). I often click the name to see if any more votes are needed to send them on their merry way, only to find that the account has already been deleted. Would it be possible to have a new icon to show that the account has been removed?

a 'worst case' example for testing with the CP parser engine ?

As code-block: ... same result as 'best guess' ...

XML

List<TextBox> ListOTT = new List<TextBox>();
List<TextBox> ListOTX = new List<TextBox>();
List<List<TextBox>> RowList = new List<List<TextBox>>();
List<List<List<TextBox>>> RowsList = new List<List<List<TextBox>>>();

As text:
List ListOTT = new List();
List ListOTX = new List();
List> RowList = new List>();
List>> RowsList = new List>>();

As text + encoded HTML:
List<TextBox> ListOTT = new List<TextBox>();
List<TextBox> ListOTX = new List<TextBox>();
List<List<TextBox>> RowList = new List<List<TextBox>>();
List<List<List<TextBox>>> RowsList = new List<List<List<TextBox>>>();

As HTML:
List<textbox> ListOTT = new List<textbox>();
List<textbox> ListOTX = new List<textbox>();
List<list<textbox>> RowList = new List<list<textbox>>();
List<list<list<textbox>>> RowsList = new List<list<list<textbox>>>();

Looks like the winner is text + encoded HTML !

Hi Brother Dave,

Too much time underneath my finger-nails, too many memories jammed at the toll-booth, all wanting to get on the freeway, as if they really had a job to commute to.

Veins on my hand, and old-age spots. Swore it would never happen to me.

No, I did not down-vote you, and I can't imagine who did.

best, Bill

Interesting! I'll add it to our test file and see if we can coerce it to behave.

Good one.

Security Issue

Dear Sir/Madam,

I think my password might have been compromised.

I received the following email:

CSS

A request was made to send you your email and password for the
Code Project login scripts. Your details are as follows:

Login email : blah blah blah
Temporary Password : blah blah blah

This request came from IP address: 117.196.102.180

I could not find a better way to contact you, that is why I post here.

I am looking forware to hearing from you.

Yours Faithfully,
Matin Habibi

Chris Maunder14-Aug-11 13:43

The rest of the email you received should clarify the issue. Anyone can request your password, but as the email says, only you will ge the password, and the password itself isn't your actual password - it's a temporary password you can use to get back in to your account. If you remember your old password after a new password has been sent, just login with your old password (as long as you haven't logged in with the temp password - doing so makes it permanent).

We store passwords using one-way hashing, so we can't actually even retrieve your existing password.

To summarise: your password hasn't been compromised. As soon as you log back in with your current password the temp password is deleted.

cheers,

GeoIP tells me that the IP you mentioned is located in India, and as far as I know CP has no servers there. Do not respond to that email.
