It looks like the same user has created a sock puppet account, and the behaviour is completely out of line. I'd suggest that the nuclear option needs to be taken against this user. Clickety[^]

Can someone please prevent this user ID from being reused? He keeps re-registering and spamming.

It seems that I have no EMail at the bottom of my messages, though I get answers to my post per email as well as the newsletter. Does anything need to be tweaked in my settings ?
Thanks.

This might be too obvious on my part. 
On the Forums tab of My Settings is an options called "Allow private email replies to the message", is it enabled?

I entered a rather long message in the lounge, and the editor kept repositioning itself in the middle of the message whenever I types a character. The cursor remained where it was, and I was still able to type. When I typed a character, I would breifly see what I had just typed, but the message would scroll back up to the middle again almost immediately afterwards.

As in: the text would scroll so the cursor was always in the middle of the text area? This was only when typing, not when pasting or clicking format buttons?
I'll check for double +'s.

No, as in the cursor stays at the bottom of the edited text, but the editor control itself scrolls the existing text so that the thumbscroller is centered vertically in the scrollbar. Someone suggested it might be an IE thing (I'm using IE8 at work without compatibility mode turned on). Maybe that's the issue.

This message also did it at line 26 (with compatibility mode ON).
The problem appears to be tied to the preview pane. It looks like it happens when the preview pane catches up with what's typed after line 25.

I have seen this on several sites. Seems to be an IE issue (perhaps some common JavaScript code that newer versions of IE don't like). For example, when I edit a page in my local install of ScrewTurn Wiki, the textbox scrolls up while I type. My suspicion is that the JavaScript is setting the height (or some other property) on the textbox on each key press, even if that property has not changed, and IE goes all bonkers when a property like that is changed.

Nope, I had the same problem as John lately, but only on CP, and I am on FF6.0.

I think it's to do with the live message preview and the message box losing focus. I'm disabling that for IE8 and below.
To see for yourself, enter a long message, then tab out of the edit box (it scrolls) then tab back in (it scrolls back). Nice, eh?

I think the latest round of UI tweaks has made a difference. The home page has an open, inviting feel, and the site seems to have more depth in many areas. I think the balance between social fluff and dev stuff is getting better too.
Of the three main areas that should predominate on a site like this, Codeproject has social fluff and dev stuff (articles, forums) nailed. The third area, tech news, is not so well-integrated on-site, although it is covered in newsletters.
Congratulations to you and your staff. There is no other site community like this. Hope you will keep up these improvements.

That is high praise Hans, and sincerely appreciated.
We have a lot of stuff to do and my constant frustration is in trying to get the stuff done that's important to the users' experience versus the stuff that's core and never gets seen, but is no less important.
All I can say is, as always, thanks for your patience and support.

This seems to be new - I thought it always used to?

This is new because plain text is plain text, so no need (and no sense, really) in encoding or wrapping since all tags will display as tags, not as formatting.

Um.
If you create a new question (or edit an existing one) and "Treat my content as plain text" is set, then toggling it does not show any code blocks as code blocks. This may be why some of the newbie questions are initially showing as plain text with <pre> tags - the option doesn't appear to do what they think it should! Only if they type after setting the option does the change take effect in the preview.
