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.

CCC: "Hot month right here in French gallery"(11)

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.

You would soon discover the solution is different each day anyway.

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

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 Smile | :)

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.

Luc Pattyn23-Jun-10 20:20

23-Jun-10 20:20

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!

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

Yes I noticed. That's being doing pretty well.

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 Smile | :)

2nd Email Address

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 Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

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 Smile | :)

Why not just set you home account to forward it to your work account.

That runs the risk of forwarding stuff that shouldn't be going on a server ran by a server paranoid. Setting up a proxy gmail account that forwarded to both addresses might work though.

not if you put rules in to only forward cp stuff.

The problem is that CP has a habit of changing its address. In the last 5 years I've received email from all of these addresses:

forums@codeproject.com
noreply@mail4.codeproject.com
noreply@mail5.codeproject.com
noreply@mail3.codeproject.com
noreply@mail2.codeproject.com
noreply@mail1.codeproject.com

noreply@mail.codeproject.com
noreply@maillist.codeproject.com
webmaster@codeproject.com
answers@codeproject.com

We deliberately prefix all CodeProject emails with [CodeProject] specifically to aid in setting up rules.
