Hi Chris,
In the last week or so I've been receiving 2 email notifications for every response posted on the forums.
I get the usual notification "CodeProject | Re: <Subject>" and then a duplicate "Re: <Subject>" without the leading 'CP'.
|
|
|
|
|
Hi Dan,
Could you please forward me the two email notifications? We'll take a look.
Thanks,
Sean Ewington

Hi Sean
What email address should I forward the notifications to?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Any progress Sean?
I've linked to a marked shot of my inbox[^] to show the extent of the problem. The pink items are the duplicates. Also note the individual duplicate thread sizes.

Apologies for the delay Dan, I think the dev team is a little swamped is all. I will gently prod them 
Thanks,

Are you still getting these? I found an issue a while ago that I fixed but forgot to update this thread.

Today I had a question, and nobody answered. But I have solved it finally. I wanted to add my solution as it should be added, but I have not found "I have solved it myself" widget. So I added it as normal answer. And at that moment the missing widget appeared. So I posted my solution there too. But I couldn't delete my other answer. And that one was accepted automatically, even after rejecting it.
Oh, and by the way, by rejecting my normal answer, I have lost 200 points  Why?
No comment, suggestion, or answer after 4 days... seem to be my very own problem...

I can see the 'Articles Needing Approval' again. Could a hamster look at that? I don't have the rep to do that.

When in doubt, take a look at the privileges tab on your profile page.
(I've opened up permissions a bit)

Privileges tab show I can delete questions in Q&A. I was able to see the Delete icon for questions till yesterday. Since this morning, I cannot see delete icon anymore. Surely a bug.
|
|
|
|
|
Confirmed. Not even site Protectors have the delete icon available.

I have been wondering about this the whole past three months:
Can we define a default signature somewhere in our settings or do we have to set it up every time we post a message from scratch (I currently use this method  )?
I haven't found anything - even though I looked in the FAQ and every settings option of my account but there was nothing...
cheers,

Go to your profile and click on My Settings. Click the Forums tab. Below the Default Paste options radio buttons is a Message Signature textbox.

Thank you Pete.

I believer the CP "Quick Answer" feature is to help the genuine programmers who had been stuck on a problem or a bug, that they couldn't figure out how to solve it.
BUT,again and again I noticed that some people post "Quick Answer" question, that should have searched on the google in the first place for example request sourcecode c# for jenetic algoritm[^].
These people doesn't even have the technical capabilities to search their question on google, so why don't CP has a filter mechanism that, when people post "Quick Answer" question, they must post their code and without a piece of code, they are not allowed to post question.
What do others think about this?
Think! Don't write a line of code unless you absolutely need to.

And if I have a question requesting clarification about about a design pattern? Do I have to make up code for this? Perhaps I'm asking a question about a particular architecture I'm considering and I want to know if anyone can see any holes in the design I'm planning.
|
|
|
|
|
Suppose you could attach a design diagram. That wouldn't be hard would it?
Think! Don't write a line of code unless you absolutely need to.
|
|
|
|
|
If all you're doing is asking a question where you can easily lay it out in words, then why would you want to include a design diagram? All you have done here is put a barrier to people asking a question. It's better to educate them that they stand a better chance of getting an answer if they actually include all the relevant information than it is to prevent them posting the question in the first place.

We cannot forget the fact that those who have the capacity to be educated, will use it wisely. BUT those who has absolutely zero intellectual capacity will not be educated and giving them equal share is a drain on the others.

I don't agree. All that happens for those users is that they don't get their questions answered. It's their loss.

This is exactly why this conversation started. Those who post irrelevant questions don't get their answered that is because we read their question and decided this is not the question to answered. So somewhat it is wasting the time of a member who could have answered a genuine question.
