I accidentally went to error page http://www.codeproject.com/script/Common/Error.aspx[^]. I noticed that the menu shows under the Ad. As that ad is flash, I know that the menu won't show over the flash object. So, I think that you might consider something (e.g. removing that ad or change the format or move that ad somewhere else and etc )

Initially, I thought it's about z-order.. but I noticed that ad format is flash and I thought the menu won't be able to show over that flash object... correct me if I'm wrong..
BTW, I'm FF user..

Ads are shown in IFRAMES. If it's in FF too then it's still a z-order issue but not the annoying Microsoft z-order issue. Clearly it's another, different, annoying z-order issue.

Submission wizard allows you to upload 15 files. The instruction text still says "You can upload only 10 files".

That's a feature, not an error: an hex number (counting the article itself as a file, I suppose)!

Currently I am unable to change my settings: each time I try apperas the following message:

but, actually, I'm signed in.

I've cleaned up the wording.
It could be that someone else is using your name, or a form of your name (eg HTML, special characters etc) that looks like your name

I'm still unable to change my settings. Maybe my duplicate personality is still around?

Hey Chris, what is the story with http://www.codeproject.com/info/eula.aspx[^]? Is that something that we can default use? Can we make it more restrictive for our own purposes if we wish? What latitude do you give us to use that EULA and to customize it if we want to? Also what motivated it's creation (just the constant hub-ub in the Lounge)?
Also can we use this for our own personal use and if so can we modify it?

You can use the EULA for your own products - it's our gift to the community. However, if you wish to cut and paste parts of it to make a modified license then that's fine as long as you don't identify your license as the CPOL.
code-frog wrote: Also what motivated it's creation
The desire to provide developers with a license that would actually protect them. The "use this how you want" license is no protection for anyone, and after a year spent talking to way to many lawyers, and seeing first hand what can happen when code is provided without a license or agreement, we decided enough was enough.
The CPOL lays out clearly and unambiguously what can and can't be done with code, what rights and assignments are made, who is involved in the license and who isn't, and provides users with enough rights to actually use the code while ensuring sufficient control for the author.
We looked at every license we could get our hands on and they either failed to provide sufficient rights for users, failed to protect the author, used ambiguous wording, or (and this was an important one many overlooked) failed to provide any protection for publishers.

Once again Chris. CP is head and shoulders above any other site and it's no small credit to both you and David.

Fixed a little. This is a bit of a consequence of the code for the smiley itself: I'd rather be cautious and not convert legitimate text into a smiley.

I think we should have a rule where a message has to receive 3 or more 1.0 votes before it shows them. That will put an end to the drive-by-voting. Once a 3rd one vote is applied then they all show but until that happens the status of the message isn't changed. That rule should hold for 2.0 voting as well. For 3.0 votes and above there shouldn't be a need for restraint.

See right now my OP would be unaffected by the lamers that are in 'my possie' who want to drive-by me.

What we are planning on doing is introducing a tracker that will watch voting trends and when it spots someone being an idiot it'll undo all their votes and lock them out.

I think it will be too much works for you...
What about showing who voted down or up? at leaset, we will have a chance to ask why he/she vote down for a particular post.. but I'm afraid that it might drive to a lot of fighting..

Sounds like a good idea. Not sure if you want to do that for the Soapbox, though. In the real forums, yes.

Between the two activities, a few more suggestions:
1) Open a new window and show up his voting activity for the member itself. It at least serves as a mirror reflecting his mean attitude. Perhaps, he can try correcting himself.
2) Retract Voting Privileges from the member.

how abt having video tutorials on CP as well. but since CP is based on IIS i figure it might be difficult for it to handle the load.
Thanks
