Sorry if this is a Leslie, but thought you should know. No big deal, I can still view the notification.

Google's good, but not perfect. Evidently this is a bit of an issue with Inbox.
Have you seen this thread[^] and blog post[^]?

Thanks for the links. I will check this out later. I just wanted to mention this to you guys for general info, in case you didn't know. Like I said, this just started happening today for me, and it seems to only affect "some" Lounge posts - go figure.

Google is a little inscrutable sometimes.
However: thanks for letting us know. I appreciate it.

Although I have no problem with the suffix in the URL the problem is when this is shown in the posts that are on net. Such as when I copy and paste the URL, Member 12560832 - Professional Profile - CodeProject[^] this is the result. On the network the remaining part should be cropped out as we know this is a network profile for CodeProject member. Leaving it as, Member 12560832[^] would suffice.
Besides I don't understand and I have never used the @chris-maunder feature, how does that work? If that works (by words I mean if that can send a notification or so) I recommend that the on net URLs should be converted to that notation. That would be a good UX; in my opinion.

I also had a question, does that thing even notify you? @chris-maunder? Or is that just sugar coating that converts text to URL?

Yep - it notifies me if I'm not already getting notified of a post (eg I'm subscribed to the forum or it's a post that's a reply to one of my posts)

I received the mail shot "Codeproject | Offers - Ultimate Guide: Motivating your tech team with learning"
the content of the email is just the Pluralsight footer with a "Download now" label that isn't a link. I can forward the email for you if required.

I know that locking a question like StackOverflow is not wanted here, but SO has another thing that may work: Protecting a question, which allows new answers, but only from people with sufficient reputation (on SO, that's 10, here it might need to be higher).
According to the notice on Protected questions, this is done to prevent Spam and answers that don't add anything to the discussion.

Reputation is not a synonim of skill, a new user could have solved the problem of the question in a different or better way - or maybe the answerers wer all wrong as it may happen.
Then you cut them off the respinse, limiting the quality of the site, while spam is already dealt fairly quickly and good.

I agree.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Why lock down a question? If someone has a better answer why not let them add it? Sometimes old questions might show up in a search and if there is a newer, better way of handling whatever the question is then it would make sense to update it with a newer answer.

I think there has to be some sort of balance. But it is a difficult one to find the right answer too.
Does editing a question that is 3 years old bring any benefit to the community? personally I don't think so.
Does adding an answer to a question that was posted 6 months ago bring benefit? yes
Does adding an answer to a question that was posted nearly 2 years ago? depends on the framework / language being used.

Rather than locking-down old questions, how about this: when a spam answer is deleted, rather than the question moving to the top of the list, it should move back to wherever it would have been if the answer had never been posted.
That way, there's less risk of someone accidentally posting a new answer to an ancient question just because they saw it at the top of the list, without prohibiting new answers that actually add something interesting to the discussion.
Of course, I have no idea how much work this would involve for the hamsters!

Firstly, the hamsters would get cranky, Crankier. But whatever - I can deal with that. Secondly you've nailed it: Delete the spam answers.
I'm not a fan of "protecting" a question, since that assume
a) high rep = god given abilities to answer a question
b) A question's answer can't change.
Both of these are clearly false.
We have spam moderation to help filter the spam. We have you lot to help clean up the mess: and you do a fantastic job at it.
My job is to stop the questions popping their heads up after an answer is deleted

You are a platinum debator with a weight factor of 8 (4 for gold, 2 for silver). Debator messages receive 3 base points upon upvotes. So an upvotee gets 24 points from you.
