The Weird and The Wonderful
The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors,
Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.
We all come across code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrasing mistakes, horrid
workarounds and developers just not quite getting it. And then somedays we come across - or write -
the truly sublime.
Post your Best, your worst, and your most interesting. But please - no
programming questions . This forum is purely for amusement and discussions on code snippets. All
actual programming questions will be removed.

Hi All,

Thanks

At the bottom of every post, there is an "email" link. This allows you to privately email that particular user. However, some people turn that off on their account (so I'm told).
I've created a suggestion about this on the Bug/Suggestions page.
You can check it out here[^].

Thanks,
But something like Facebook or any other site where if any one give any message to you, you get some kind of intimation.

If anyone replies to you, then the system will send an email to the address you registered with, if you have not turned off the option.
Look at the top right of this page, and hover your mouse over your user name.
Select "My Settings" from the dropdown list, and then click on the "Forums" tab in teh new page.
Make sure the "Send me an e-mail if someone replies to the message" check box is cheked, and press the "Save My Settings" button.
If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

True, that would be nice.

I disagree, I get far too many emails already - random "hi" from people I don't know doesn't appeal.
Besides, this isn't primarily a social site - it's a code site. The social aspect is just a side effect, not a primary reason for coming here.

I guess I see that side of things too.

So - you want an inclusion of a type of chat-box?
Which could be beneficial, I suppose.
|
|
|
|

|
Absolutely,
The user will add people to his chat room, so if any user spamming, the user can remove/Block that user from chat list
|
|
|
|

|
Yes, that's what I would be interested in.
However, I do see the side that some people are taking of not being interested in getting loads random messages from people.
