Currently, when you report an item, the behavior is not consistent. For comments in QA and posts in the forums (as I recall), there is a confirmation feedback.
Reporting Questions, Answers and Member Profiles does not ask for confirmation. Neither does deleting an answer in QA (I have not tried deleting a Question or Comment).
This should be streamlined so it behaves consistently all over.
I am in favor of not having to confirm the intent to report, but having to confirm delete. To report an item, you first get the popup menu, which gives you a chance to back out, but the delete goes through right away, leaving you wondering what just happened.
I have done that on my phone a couple of times on Answers I was trying to report. So far I have not done any real harm, but it seems to me to be too easy to accidentally delete an Answer with everybody having touch devices these days.

This[^] member is listed in number 2 spot for Top Experts in 24hrs in QA forum right now, but has not answered a single question in last 2 days. Also the member has around 6100 Authority points for answering just 61 questions. Is that even possible?
I Apologize if this is a stupid question.

Upvotes add Authority rep points as well. It could be possible.
About being in 2nd position without answering anything... maybe a bug posting / deleting answers?

Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpfull answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Yes that is possible. The member also may have got a few extra points because of the bug (I got 50 points once for an accepted answer  ).
There is a fixed icon against my post so that is good news.

Yes, there are were two or three users taking advantage on it

I see that you can reply privately to a post by clicking the email button, but wouldn't it be helpful to have a private message button on each profile page?
IMO, it would make for easier contacting.

|

True, it would. And I am in support of this idea.
Some members disable private messages, but the same setting can be used to disable both the link on the messages and the link on the profile page.

Only if I can disable it. I don't have the email option because I ended up getting inundated by people requesting help directly.

I see your point.

I went here[^] from a link on the bottom of the home page.
At the top of the page, it says that it's an offsite news item.
Unless there's another site out there that looks identical to CodeProject, it isn't offsite. 
Is it still supposed to have the frame? Is this by design?
|
|

|

It has been like that for a while. I think a simple if statement that checks the host name in the URL would work for making things on this site not be in the frame, while off site things are.

Hi,
I was reading an article, and I saw the "Bookmark" icon wasn't shown into the "About article" frame. Is it just me?

Can we have a feature so that the user can add articles to his/her favorite list so that at a later time browsing the articles becomes easy? Or do we already have this functionality and I have no idea about it?

Yes, you can bookmark articles. There's a frame in an article at the right side of your page ("About article"). Into the frame, there's an image within a star and the text "Bookmark". Click on the image and the article is added to "My Bookmarks". I don't know why, but I don't see the image with the star now. I think this is a bug, but normally the image is shown.

Thanks for that information. You are correct the image is not shown there.

At the very bottom of each page, left hand side, in the footer in fine print is the name of the server you're currently on. Can you please try doing a Ctrl+F5 to force a full refresh, then if you don't see the bookmark image, take note of the server you're on and let me know.
