Anyone who has ever had to fix memory fragmentation problems would find that shameful.

It isn't a fragmentation problem, it's a database consistency problem. When they delete or disable an account, they don't delete all the posts and articles they have made, in case the account needs to be re-activated (as has happened). So either they need a special "class" of user id numbers they can change them to or (better) just leave it as it is and disable the number. Sure, you get "holes" in the member numbers, but that's pretty much irrelevant because only the DB actually uses them - the external world pretty much only uses the UserName.
And I'd much rather not update 19,000 messages, 9,000 answers and 7,000 comments on one account in order to disable it if I can change a bit field in one row instead!

Oh yes. Oh yes indeedy. Just watched this with the kids. What a superb film.

I hope you are not talking about the 1st Film? (only because it is ancient and can't believe you are only commenting on it now!)

I figured you would all know that Iron Man 3 was out now.

There is an Iron Man 3?

Great movie indeed. A friend invited me to see Iron Man in the movie theatre yesterday.

I like to believe a lot of nonsense for the sake of a good action movie, but this was to much nonsense even for my doing!
Nothing that couldn't be fixed though. I simply lowered my 'stuff-I'd-like-to-believe'-bar

I was looking at going to see it this weekend (without the excuse of kids), completely booked out, even the 10am session. Opening weekend in SG really does get well patronised. I hope it is still playing when I get back from Oz in 3 weeks.

Do they open the curtain before they show the movie?

Had a nice visit with my son at college yesterday. Lunch, played frisbee, and watched...
Oblivion.
Had my doubts with Tom Cruise in it. But he's lost weight and looks a lot better than in that last M.I. disaster of a movie. Oblivion was fun - great visuals, harks back to some of the earlier movies like Silent Running[^], and lots of great spoofs on classic genres like Star Wars, Star Trek, 2001, Mad Max, etc. Lots of great "WTF, how are they going to explain this???" that do get explained, a couple beautiful women, Morgan Freeman's entrance in the middle of the movie is classic.
The thing that was interesting for my son and I was that, while the premise was really weak, the story itself was glued together very well (if it bit worn out) and knowing that it was based on a graphic novel makes it more enjoyable - you can almost imagine turning the pages of the story, anticipating the next bizarre plot twist.
Definitely recommended.

I saw it myself last night. Like you, I had my doubts about Tom Cruise. His reputation as a whacko sours most interest I might have in seeing him in a movie, but Morgan Freeman balanced that nicely.
I think the thing I enjoyed the most was, while I recognized the various plot bits that I'd seen before, I didn't see how they fit together well in advance. I hate movies where I can tell how the story's going to run after 10 minutes. Oblivion kept my interest going all the way to the end.

I tried to release an article using IE9 and it would not upload any files, in Firefox it would upload the files and then add a big red cross next the file name so like whats wrong with small .jpg or .png files here.
trying to add blocks of code and getting it to format resulted in locking the page up.
Someone has tried to be too smart with the java-script and it's not working and i won't be spending days learning how to cut-copy-paste text and embeding a few images so best this site goes back to a submission page without a zillion bugs and then i might try again
Yes mod, ban me by all mens

Yeah, don't use that. Use the template and email your article. It's much easier and you can work offline.

Why would the moderator ban you? You expressed your complaint in a professional, courteous manner. No one should have any problem with that.

Nothing is wrong. You can use the red cross to delete a file, it doesn't mean that there's something wrong with your files.

Yup, even I figured that out.

Had that problem uploading my first article too, takes a while to get used to.
The Offline Article Editor For CodeProject[^] could help. Write your articles there, copy and paste the html in the editor here, looks the exact same way and then you could add source files.
The best way to go though is using the template and emailing it to an editor. He'll fix everything for you and upload it under your handle.
No one is going to ban you for expressing concerns on here.
You might also want to see the Article Help Forum.[^]

Nobody is likely to ban you for saying there is a problem with the site; if they did that most of the regulars (myself included) would have been banned on a weekly basis...
I have to agree that the article submission page is pretty bad, and I've said it before. I tend took end up doing it manually in HTML mode and use three preview. I've not had a problem with uploads though, but I tend to use Chrome over IE or FireFox anyway.
