I know, hence the smileys  (I think you talked about your own experience, didn't you ? I think I can remember you being in Canada for a bit of time).
In fact, I was taking about my own case: I am french, but I am crossing the border every day to work in Germany. Which makes some people quite astonished that I know much about France while my bio stating my location is Germany. So I thought citizenship could add a bit of information...
But your argumentation is true, and if we could avoid being Facebook-ish, let it be !

I don't really see *much* value to this feature.
There are many *cultural breed* of people you will meet online today
There are people who are born on their native land, moved to another country (in some cases many countries). In the processes, their ethnic personality got diluted with many cultures and costumes. ( I'm one of them ). It will be very hard to frame such people to their original ethnicity.
This reminds me about a joke I heard long time ago:
A guy got arrested and taken to court.
Judge: State your name
Accused: states his full name
Judge: State your birth date
Accused: gives his birth date
Judge: State your nationality/citizenship
Accused: *stares at the judge and he did not answer*
Judge: I SAID, State your nationality/citizenship
Accused: *stares at the judge, didn't answer*
Judge: Did you hear what I said? For the last time, State your nationality/citizenship
Accused: Looks at the judge, starts talking: My father is Swedish, My Mother is Brit, I was born on a yacht on the Sydney Harbor, Australia, I grew up in Canada, my Wife is Italian, I work in US and have offices in Brazil, India and Korea.....
Judge: Ok, Ok, that is enough. (instructs to the court clerk) write his citizenship as UN.

Oh didn't you notice, analogous to square roots, they recently introduced rectangular, circular, and diamond roots to determine the size of the corresponding shapes when given the area. Luc Pattyn[^]

Hi,
I'm using Internet Explorer 8.0, and every time I go to a Code Project article page, IE hangs. The CPU shows 50% (dual core) and memory usage seems to just be increasing. Other pages, like the forum here or the main page is fine. It seems to be the article pages that cause problems. Or perhaps it's IE???
Anybody else having the same problems?

I hope to get all comments about a topic when subscribing RSS. Now,it seems only the content of the topic is available. I believe this full feed is very helpful if someone want to know the progress of the thread he have posted. Though you may say the reminding email does the same thing I still insist this function will benefit us very much.
I hope this idea could be considered, thanks in advance.

Is this for Article RSS feeds?

Of course include Article RSS feeds, and I particularly focus on FORUMS boards related to this function. You know,viewpoint interchange is necessary amongst these boards. It is easy to catch up the latest progress for related participants.
Thanks for your attention.

I am facing a strange issue. Here is the steps to reproduce it
1 - Click on reply for any message.
2 - Select some text from the message and click "Quote Selected Text". The selected text appears in the editing area wrapped in <blockquote> tags.
3 - Paste any link into the editing area just down to this quoted text. You can see the link is not getting formatted and the block quote is getting encoded automatically.

This is similar to another problem Dan reported. I'm hoping to get time to deal with this one in the next couple of days.
If only Firefox handled the clipboard better

Could we have a checkbox to remove the blogs from the latest article list?
(I appologise if there already is one - I did look!).

Working on that. We thought we'd done it for all listings and then realised we'd missed a bunch. Apologies for that.

So, last night, a load of my blog posts were picked up - but they weren't pulled through in their entirety. When I've been in and looked at them, they are all just partial extracts - see Fun with Fonts[^] for instance, and somebody has gone and voted them all 1 obviously thinking I've been taking the mick with the article submission wizard. Could we get the full blog text in so that people actually get to read the article?
Also - could I get the existing votes of 1 removed? It's hammered my average article rating, and I don't think this is entirely fair seeing I didn't post the articles like this.

We're seeing some inconsistencies (surprise!) between RSS feeds and are still working out the kinks. Sean and Thiru will be fixing things up today.

I can't praise Sean highly enough. He's a star - the speed he's fixed things is almost godlike.

This forum is being bolded to indicate new messages, but the "last visit" and "last week" views do not show any new messages. The former only shows the buglist, the latter a number of old messages.
I'm using FF 3.0.8 and my status is: Last Visit: 13:06 15 Apr '09 Last Update: 14:36 15 Apr '09

If this happens again would a copy of the HTML be of help?

Unfortunately not. Sounds like a caching or a DB issue.

Rats. Would reporting future instances be helpful?

Absolutely. I know this is going to be one of those "Shhh! I'm hunting wabbits!" kind of bugs.
