I understand. For that my suggestion is we may show 2 tabs there like Simple View(Default) & Advanced View. Simple View will show the current one & Advanced View will show the suggested one. Also show Tooltip(Some thing appropriate message which should attract the Enquirers) when mouse over on Advanced View tab. That's all.

I have *had* to update my signature, adding in a crucial piece of information. The last part of the closing </small> tag is being truncated.

It was 498 and got truncate to 495.
I've checked and it's not the content as it seems it only save the first 495 characters. Obviously Huie Hamster is extracting higher and higher rates from Chris and the boys.

Part of the problem is that the signature counts html tags as prt of the sig instead of just the content. I wish higher-rated users could include their avatar (the one everyone sees in their profile) in their sig.

Anyone can see your avatar by setting Profile popups in the options bar at the top of the page.

As long as I don't have to go out of my way to do it, then yes, I do.
It's kinda like jokes - they're not as funny when you have to explain them. Having to let someone know they should be terrified doesn't have the same impact as someone that just instinctively *knows* they should be.

Actually, more of a question. Is it OK to request beta testers for a shareware product on the Collaboration / Beta Testing forum?
Also, maybe you could clarify the rules with a few sentences in the forum header.
Thanks.

Yes - absolutely.

So what is acceptable then? From the name of the forum I'd assumed any collaboration/beta testing was acceptable. Is it restricted to certain things only? Are commercial websites, for instance, off-limits?
Cheers,
Drew.

I'm happy to have it open for now and see how it works out.
I can trust you guys, right?

Trust? That sounds dangerous!
IMO, though, I think it'll be interesting to see what others are up to, especially for commercial stuff. I've got no problem trying things out for others regardless of whether they intend to cash in on it or not.
Thanks Chris.
Cheers,
Drew.

In every post he makes on CP he includes an e-mail address of someone he claims is a troll on Craig's List. And, he does this elsewhere on the net ... edit ... link removed at request of Wizardzz for good reasons ...
I consider that an inappropriate use of CodeProject. If there is a real person, with a real e-mail address, that he's broadcasting here: consider they might possibly take legal action. And if not a real e-mail address, then he's contributing to the search engine's indexing of CP pages using that unreal address.
This is a case where having a dialog to give a reason for the report would be very useful.

I removed it. It is a real e-mail address. Also, I have not posted the address elsewhere, that search returns results from sites that copy CP's content.

Maybe next time you could send wizardzz a private e-mail with your concerns and try to solve the problem that way first rather than calling wizardzz out on this publicly right off the bat.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but this is a perfect example of why it would be useful to not send a member's email address in private messages. I do not private message other members because it sends my email address. And why would I want to risk showing my email address to somebody to ask them to stop abusing somebody else's email address?

No you're not. 
Seriously, I agree with you. However, Chris has not implemented an internal private messaging system yet which I think would be a great asset to this site. Many other sites have them and I think they are awesome. Your message center would be under your settings panel for instance.

Hi Slacker007,
First, I was loathe to do this, but I reported this because I care about CP and the people on it, and I felt what I reported was "over the line." I would have sent Chris M. a private message about this, but he has not, for some time, responded to private messages from me (which I don't take personally: I imagine he has about a thousand e-mails per day). I don't know any other CP staff except Chris.
Second, I had reported Wizardzz before for the same reason, but because there is no facility to add a reason for reporting someone at the time you make a report (something I have been advocating here) ... and CodeProject staff did not respond to ask me why I reported ... I felt the only alternative was I should take reponsibility and make the report public.
By saying that, I do not mean to imply that I think CodeProject staff should contact people who report other people if they can't see an obvious reason for the report. That, I think, could lead to a lot of back-and-forth static and wasted time.
Third, as another poster comments here, sending a private e-mail would have exposed my e-mail address.
In this case, Wizardzz is obviously a reasonable person, mature enough to interpret a comment on a behavior as not an attack on his character, but someone else might. And, perhaps you, like me, have had your domain-name hijacked by spammers, your privacy violated by naive friends who gave your e-mail address to FaceBook, or been stalked by someone on-line ... which has left you a bit shy about stepping foward publicly.
This has brought me no pleasure except for appreciation for Wizardzz's way of responding.
thanks, Bill
