I tried changing my display name to a new James Bond villain of the month - Dr Julius No
However, it appears that I was unsuccessful. I also don't see where the file path could be bad.
Picture path: "C:\Users\xxxxxx\Pictures\drno.jpg"
Display Name: Dr Julius No
Something bad happened
We're not sure what, but we have a few guesses.
Problem: Illegal characters in path.
Ticket: 0
Server: Web01

Looks like a definite bug.

The display name change should be fine, but the trick to get around that error is to uncheck the "Use my Gravatar" box, save your settings, then upload your image and then save your settings again.
Thanks,

This message: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/5111317/Congratulations-India.aspx[^], which I posted at 18-Aug-15 8:53 does not appear in the forum. However, a reply post which I posted after that (to another member's post) does appear. Is the forum moderated? Is this a bug?

Well, funny enough, it finally appeared.

It was possibly caught by the spam filter for some reason and sent to the moderation queue for review.

...today I feel, that the combination (?) of W7 and IE11 sucks.
A lot of times, I get the message www.codeproject.com does not respond (articles, Q&A, ...).... with Chrome everything seems to be ok. Can somebody confirm this?

I'm using W7 + IE11 on a daily basis for CodeProject and never met this problem.

Thank you for your feedback. Maybe I have to check my net environement... Even it was the same at office and at home and it was specific to CP. At the Moment everything is ok again.

I had a problem on CP a few months ago (only textual elements, no image, no tables/divs), but it was not with IE but Firefox, and only on one of my user profiles. I ended up recreating a brand new user profile, and got rid of the issue since then.

I found this a few minutes ago after pasting a quote into an insider reply. The quoted text has several leading spaces resulting in an blockquote from markup. THis combines with the blockquote tags created when I pasted it to create this mess (which can be fixed by deleting the leading spaces before "After" to remove the nested quote:
Quote: Quote: In a statement to BetaNews, a Microsoft spokesperson said:
After the launch of Windows 10 and in preparation for continued flighting of PC builds to Windows Insiders, we have taken the opportunity to clear out the older feedback that we received early on in our product development cycle from the search results that get returned within the Windows Feedback app. </blockquote>
This is more of my text and should be outside the quote.
This is my signature. It shouldn't be part of the quote either:
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

That's Markdown for you. It'd tailored for coders and thinks blockquotes should be naturally prefixed by ">" and code should be indented, whereas the rest of the world would probably prefer to see blockquotes happen on indented blocks of text, and code... well, code would happen in someone else's life.
For this stuff either uncheck "Use Markdown formatting" or replace the indents with ">"s.
cheers

With a bit more blood in my caffeine stream, it looks like injecting a newline before the </blockquote> tag is probably a better fix; markdown deciding that the quoted quote was code not text not withstanding using a different style for it makes it more clearly differentiated than changing the pasted indent to a > or manually nesting blockquotes. Longer term; how hard would making the auto blockquote wrapper smart enough not to fail this way be.

Do you mean not converting indented text into a code block if it's inside a blockquote?
It's doing what it's meant to be doing: this is part of the markdown "spec" (I say that loosely).

No, I mean on paste handler seeing that the last line of the text being pasted is indented, and in that case putting the closing blockquote tag on a seperate line to avoid conflicting with the markdown formatter.
eg automatically creating this:
Quote: normal text
happy properly formatted text with a closing blockquote tag on the next line of the editor
not this:
Quote: normal text
sad misformatted text with a closing blockquote tag on the same line of the editor</blockquote>

Currently a question is closed as soon as enough reports are recorded for the specific question. This means that an unclear question may live a very short time so the poster of the question may have no time to enhance or explain the question.
What if instead of immediate close the reports would cause a countdown (for appropriate amount of time). For example if the question isn't enhanced in an hour after reported as unclear, it would be closed. This would leave time to react to the reports and possible questions.
Of course this would introduce a question: What is considered as enhancing the question? But if the question is modified and still reported it could be considered as not-enhanced...

I like the idea, but the question is... how many time is "enough" time?
I can post something and wait a while, ok no answers, no feedback... I will check tomorrow... Ups... where is my question?
On the other hand... then the reports must be selective, that should only apply to "unclear/incomplete" or to "not a question", all other options should remain as they are. Specially spam/abusive.

Probably it would be best if an email would be sent when the countdown starts...
Perhaps something like:
- post an unclear question
- 5 reports (unclear / incomplete) => countdown starts
- email is sent to OP explaining that the question will be closed if no explanations ar added
- when the countdown is finished the question is closed
- OR the question is modified and we're back in the beginning...
I agree that spam/abusive should be as-is

I agree on the whole. It's incredibly annoying to find a question has been closed after I've asked the OP to add extra detail but they haven't been given a chance to provide it.
Time zones could complicate matters on "appropriate amount of time" though ... OP could post a question, not many people about, goes to bed; other-timezone-guys spot the question and start reporting it as unclear - OP has no idea.
However, the email suggested by Mika could prompt them to post a new question (perhaps with a copy of the posting guidelines  )
