When you signed up you would have received an email asking for email confirmation. It has a link you click and you're done. If you haven't confirmed in a while then a notice will appear at the top of this forum. It has a link that will trigger a fresh email to be sent.
It looks like you're email was confirmed a few days ago. We ask that emails haven't had any noticeable action be reconfirmed every few months.

I just clicked the unsubscribe link on a newsletter, and was greeted by a page with the usual stuff asking me to check the lists I don't want to receive anymore, along with a shocker.
There was a checkbox reading something along the lines of "Also, remove my account entirely".

So essentially you just went to the "My Settings" page... why is it a problem that there is an option to remove your own account?

I might have been away from this site for a while, but those two pages look completely different to me:
Unsubscribe from newsletter page[^]
My Settings page[^]

Now that I give it another look, I think the checkbox label might be slightly misleading. I presume that that checkbox means to say "remove me from all newsletters", instead of "remove my account entirely".
Should that not be the case, an option that might delete my account entirely in a page that reads "Please follow the instructions below to change your newsletter subscriptions" sounds f***ing insane to me.

For the past few days (not sure how many; maybe a couple of days or over a week), I have been receiving the Code Project | Offers newsletters, but the content and online link have been blank. I only bring this up because there have been a couple of headliners I was interested in - but there wasn't anything in the newsletter section. I have saved several of the emails and can forward them to someone for analysis, if wanted.

Unless I am mistaken, this is an active bug we are working on right now that pertains to members who opt to receive text-based emails. Our apologies. We are getting it sorted.
Thanks,

The editor window allows you to expand/contract it vertically using the size-dingus at window lower-right.
What would be cool would be if you could also size the window width by dragging the dingus to the right, into what is now the vast, beckoning, white-space.
thanks, Bill

You can in Chrome, but that's not the answer you're looking for.
At this point: probably not. It gives me design/layout headaches just thinking about it.

Hi Chris,
Well, I am always viewing/using CP in Chrome (Win 8.1), so ... is there a magic gesture ?
thanks, Bill

The bottom right hand corner of any textbox in chrome has a resize handle. Give it a go.

Clicking any question in QA that does not already have an answer to it results in the angry hamsters!
No ticket numbers, but, at least in my use, always results in a "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" exception on Web02.

Yeah, that was a bit wobbly, wasn't it.

Is this why Carrie Sydor has had all that work done on the house? Now that she no longer officially works for you, it's safe to hide the body there.

I see few authors with no blogs in Top Authors in 24hrs section. Members Ed musters(MVP), Chris Bannon.

What's the suggestion or bug report?
cheers

At the time of my report those members don't have any articles, tips and blogs. However they appear to be in Top Authors in 24hrs with substantial vote.
To answer your question. I don't know what you call it that feature. To me it seems a bug and that's why I report as a bug icon.
|
|
|
|

Ah, right. You said "no blogs", which confused me because authors don't need to post blogs for points.
That list is cached, so possibly it was a case that articles had been deleted before the list was updated. If it happens again let me know the Author and I'll take a look.

Is Quick Answers/Questions a programming only section ?
I asked a question about Windows 10 usage and some comments tell me "Sorry, this is off-topic," ?
Just curious ? 
Thanks.
I'd rather be phishing!

We have OS / SysAdmin discussion forums, so by extension asking OS / SysAdmin specific questions is totally fine.

It used to be a useful place to go in order to get quick answers to programming questions but lately it's no longer useful. And don't even try to post answers. It'll soon be the last time you go there.
