Hi,
I want to change my display name from Rooney Bisht to Deepak Bisht but I am not allowed because it says it is already taken. This validation should be there for user name and not display name. Multiple people can have the same display name but should have different user name.
Now the problem is that lot of my friends don't trust me when I publish an article after looking at the name which is displayed(Rooney Bisht). They think someone else has written it.
Can this be looked as a defect/bug and fixed soon?
Thanks & Regards,
Deepak Bisht

Err no. The display name is what is displayed and it's just going to be confusing. Suppose you started calling yourself Chris Maunder, how do you think that would look? People look at your name, and not at your member ID so there is too much room for someone to try and pass themself off as someone else.

And we can't have that kind of thing going on, that's for sure!

See my reply to Pete there's ways around it, you just got to be a bit savvy about it.

Can we have a button that reports messages as reposts? So many people seem to dedicate their time to searching the forums and calling out anyone who posts anything that was ever posted before. It would save so much time if you could also have a feature that searches all previous messages for a closely matching content and show a list of them to choose from.
You could have a picture of Leslie Nielson as the button icon.
If you can pull it off, add a feature that gives a mild (non-fatal) electric shock to anyone who actually clicks it and pop up a message saying "get a life".
Either this, or show closely matching posts as the original poster types, à la SO, whichever is easier. My £0.02.

Why not? An extensive database search for each new post in the forums seems a good idea, what harm could it bring?

There are two types of repost:
- Questions which the user has posted multiple times in the same forum, in multiple forums, and/or in QA.
This just wastes everyone's time. The message will usually be down-voted, posts in QA will be reported as "repost", and the user will be told not to do it again. - Jokes, news, etc. which has been posted before.
These are mostly harmless, as are the "Leslie" responses. We're not really expecting you to have read and memorised every message that's ever been posted!

Wasn't there some method to highlight code within pre tags? Is it discouraged now?
The following doesn't seem to work (for obvious reasons, since the tags are interpreted as literal text)
The article editor shows the red version correctly when editing (in blog posts), but it reverts to the HTML source when published (didn't check the yellow one). Is this the intended behavior?
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
<div class="highlight">printf("Hello, World\n");</div>
<span style="color:#FF0000">return 0;</span>
}
Outside <pre>:
printf("Hello, World\n");
return 0;

You need to use <span class="highlight">, not DIV.
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
printf("Hello, World\n");
}

If you for example search Google for site:codeproject.com vashikaran you get a whole load of spam that has been "removed".
If I have understood the inner workings of google correctly this means that those posts are still raising the rating for the spammers and therefore there is no reason for the spammers to stop spamming.
Assuming they are intelligent enough that is.

You should have made this suggestion "private"

If you go to his profile page - http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=7650979[^] - and use the Chrome "inspect element" feature it would seem he added HTML to his username:

[edit]HTML removed - so as not to give people ideas... [/edit]
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

You can use HTML formatting in display names (that's a feature), and that's how the user hid his actual name.
