Hello admins
have you ever seen this? codeproject.com passwords - BugMeNot[^]
yes. that's a website where people can share login details of fake accounts for others so they don't have to register themselves. this account itself is an example
but this is dangerous. you get 2 reputation for every download. these accounts on bugmenot get pretty much attention and downloads. i once saw one of them with platinum organizer. no good! because what if spammer uses one of these accounts to circumvent spam check? or abuse privileges in other way.
i once sent a removal request to bugmenot for CP. but no luck. i hope admins can fight harder than i. thank you

There must be a way to regularly scrape that page and perma-ban any valid logins found on it.
Edit: Fairly simple using AngleSharp[^]:
const string url = "http://bugmenot.com/view/codeproject.com";
var config = Configuration.Default.WithDefaultLoader();
var document = await BrowsingContext.New(config).OpenAsync(url);
var accounts = document.QuerySelectorAll("article.account dl").Select(article => new
{
Username = article.QuerySelector("dd:nth-child(2) kbd").TextContent,
Password = article.QuerySelector("dd:nth-child(4) kbd").TextContent,
});
Now you just need to check that the user exists, validate the password, and trigger the ban hammer.

I love AngleSharp. When I bump into Florian I'm buying that man a beer.

AngleSharp is an awesome library.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

How do we report spammers if we don't know who they are?

Possibly, it's a user with a blank name?
but it seems there are two of them? Strange...

The user in question: Member 13992037 - Professional Profile[^]
The name isn't blank, but it's auto-generated. Possibly the same bug that's been plaguing the QA comments for the last few months.

I'll make a fix so that we at least show the auto-generated member name
Any suggestions on something better than "Member <id>"? It's a bit pedestrian...

Just so you know Chris, the Message Moderation queue still isn't showing usernames.

Just an update: the issue is fixed our end but we're in the middle of a massive refactor so can't (well, don't wish to) do a deploy this week until we can release the new code.
Soon!
cheers

The discussions panel on the right side of the home page, div
ctl00_MC_TimelineMessages_TimelineContainer displays messages from a random passed day (seems to be from within the past month)?
Is this by design?
Don't know if it matters, I view code project with the Firefox browser.

Bugs and Suggestions[^] was moved to the SoapBox. It seems pre-existing links to it aren't updated to match.
Some would be a pain to handle: links (like in the above) which reference the old location now go to Lounge but no message. More importantly, any posts and such in one's reputation list now have broken links as well.
Is it possible for references in well-behaved locations, such as reputation links (a way to go back to see what you said, for example) could be updated. It looks like there's a numeric reference that could be changed with the move.
Obviously a low priority - not that many threads are moved - but good housekeeping and all that.

I am trying to reset my password using "Forgot your password?" But, password provided by code project. Delivery time says 7:36 am. But I have received the mail arround 1 PM, JST.
PS: I am writing this from my phone. And trying to log from my PC, FYI. I also requested for password from my Phone. Thanks
PPS: just a FYI, password request and logging attempt is done from different network
I do not fear of failure. I fear of giving up out of frustration.

The link does not go specifically to a discussion so which thread are you referring to?

That's because it has already been moved.

OK thanks. I did check the soapbox before asking and nothing had appeared there since your post. I guess it was deleted.
