Using the platinum members "Uploads" feature (in its current state) isn't viable for what I have in mind, and neither is creating unfinished articles, so I propose the following:
I have an idea regarding the programming forums - add the ability to attach a single file to an original post. To avoid using up disk space, automatically delete the uploaded file after a reasonable period of time - like maybe 2 days. This way, if someone posted a message and needed to upload code for someone to look at, the OP could go back and attach a small file.
Here are some rules I would suggest:
0) Only allow the file to be attached to the original message. This will prevent other users from
1) Allow the OP to re-attach a file if necessary
2) Restrict the file size to 1MB
3) Only allow ZIP files
4) Scan the zip file for EXE and DLL files (and other file types that are used to convey viruses), and reject the upload if the ZIP contains any of the banned file types.
5) Kill the upload after N days (the user can always re-attach a file if the question hasn't been answered).
6) Any message older than 30 days would not allow further file attachments.
7) If the user wishes to attach a different file, the previously attached file is deleted.
This would allow a more collaborative aspect to the programming forums.
EDIT =================
Three days and no comments?

I was replying to a CCC guess, and merely said "No."
The Already Posted message appeared.
Now it could be that I have on previous days on other threads posted "No.", but not on this one.
I took the period off and it worked.
Shouldn't the checker differentiate between threads/dates?

I'm sure it does. I'm using a couple of standard replies (e.g.: you're welcome.) without any such problem, unless repeated inside the same thread.
I would consider it a minor improvement if it would just check to what exact message is being replied. That would solve your "No!" problem.

I have a theory.

All my CCC's are Thread Entitled 'CCC', so when it checks, maybe it counts yesterdays 'CCC' thread the same as today's.
Perhaps if I CCC [Date] it would correct the problem

I know you have more than one.

Perhaps indeed.
There are several alternatives:
1. make them somewhat easier, so you don't need no reply "No" all the time.
2. be more creative, don't just answer "No", try adding an eloquent pleasantry.
3. put the clue in the subject line, making it a tiny bit easier for all of us, as now the clue is always present, even when it takes page upon page to converge to a solution.

I would find them a lot easier if the actual CCC was the same as yesterdays too.

It would still stump a few of them.

I think Chris has finally implemented the "Dave Must Be Drunk Again" filter.

There's nothing clverer than a drunk. The more I try and filter him, the more the slippery bastard slips through

I recently got voted up on a Lounge message and my rep points went up by 20 (or 25) points (I think).
Is everything working ok with the points system?
BTW - I dont mind if they aren't - I just went up by 20 points .
|
|

There is one small issue with points being awarded in the wrong category - but in your case it could simply be a platinum level member upvoted you.

If a platinum member upvotes me I get more points?
Wow - that is cool. I did not know that. I just thought points were awarded in the range 1 to 5.

Your message gets points in the 1-to-5 range.
Your message getting a 4 or a 5 also gives you 5 rep points in some category (depends on forum and message type), multiplied by the color factor of the voter.
Most of that is explained in the FAQ[^], IIRC the color factor isn't.
BTW: your auditor joke in the Lounge already has 24 votes!

Thanks.

Yes - the "multiplication" factor isn't explained on the FAQ.

Yes I noticed. That's being doing pretty well.
I guess no one likes the IRS or its equivalent in their countries...

Its very irritating that only 10 appears per page, I mean first read 10 then click on next then read...so if there is an option about items count per page, it would be nice

Hey there
Let me explain my problem.
I've changed work recently and I am no longer able to set up my personal Email address at work as I used to.
So now when I post something in the forums and someone replies the Email notification goes to my personal Email address which I cant access while at work...
I could change my Email address to use the work one but then I'll have the same problem at home.
Could we get the option to set up multiple Email addresses for notifications to go to?
Thanks

Just set it to a gmail account. You can get to that from anywhere.
An even more interesting idea - create a Weven gadget that displays forwarded messages from your email account.

I have access via a web portal, but then I might aswell refresh the forum page all the time...
And security is *VERY* strict here so I dont even wana try the gadget route... although I have to admit its a pretty cool idea
