I think this would add too much noise to the UI, which is already noisy enough

When a comment is deleted in the Q&A section, there is text next to the comment indicating such. Why is there still an option to edit a deleted comment? Why not just remove it from the list of comments altogether, especially if that comment hasn't been replied to?

It gives members with high rep the chance to undelete a comment someone else may have spuriously deleted. Only those with high enough rep see the comments.

Noble feature, just seems confusing at first.

Hi Chris,
I just came across this page
Found my article copied[^]
with spam comments from "Thomas4loans", the comments are delete but visible, the account is closed too.
Is there a way to physically remove those comments ? Or one should edit them an erase the contain ?

You can see that content because of your status. Mere mortals can't.
We do this to enable trusted members such as yourself the ability to undo accidental (or malicious) deletions.

Perhaps if an account is closed for spam or abuse, all of their deleted comments could be removed?
(Possibly after a delay, in case the account was closed by mistake.)

I seem to be getting this message about every 5th or 6th comment I make:
The bad part is that I can't seem to remember to copy my comment first before clicking the Submit button.

I got an alert about that and we're looking into it now.
I think we're gonna need a bigger boat.

On a possibly related subject, I've noticed the site takes a serious amount of time to respond for several hours early in the morning UK time (around 05:00 UTC to around 09:00 UTC) but "settles down" after that. It used to be this was just Sundays, and I assumed a weekly site backup was in progress, but it's most days now.

Pretty good! Yesterday morning was a little slow, but nowhere near the scale it has been.

When pasting a URL into a message or answer, there is a script which attempts to retrieve the title of the URL. Nine times out of ten, this works perfectly.
But quite frequently, the script hangs. When this happens, the entire page is frozen indefinitely. There is no way to cancel the script, and no way to copy the partially-composed message so that you can try again.
Please decrease the timeout. If it doesn't get the title within 30 seconds, it should just insert the link without a title.

It's being done synchronously (I know, I know) hence there's no timeout. I'm reworking it to be async so we can have it behave more like a grown up.

Looks to me like it is in the proper section; check again.

Yes, you're right. Thanks for reply.

Today I've published my article The Revolutionary New CLOPE And TB – Clustering Algorithms In C#.NET[^] and I've got a couple of questions:
1. Why my articles thumbnail has changed after I've uploaded the proper image twice ?
2. Why haven't I received the daily build mail-out today to my e-mail address ?
Thanks a lot.

You should be getting your newsletters shortly. Had to kick the mail sender.

Thanks a lot for your reply, but I'm still not getting those mails.

Matthew Dennis, I'm sorry, but I'm still not getting the CodeProject's daily build newsletter.

|
|

Did you get it this morning?
cheers

Yes, I've noticed it this morning. The CodeProject's articles editor simply failed to place the thumbnails.png file to the list of article's files the number of times. So time after the issue has been resolved.
Thanks.

Go to Your Settings[^], scroll down to the "Close my account" checkbox and select it. Click on Save my settings and it's gone.
