I like it, as long as the 'main' version of the article is in English (or there is at lease a English translation present)

Maybe the article submission wizard can be modified to allow posting of alternative language versions of an article ONLY if the article has already been posted and approved in English.
The problem I foresee is that the article text could change dramatically between the English and non-Enlish version, and people could take advantage of the fact that not so many people will speak their language.
In the end, I think we should maintain our current English-only status.

We may actually be able to do that quite easily, actually.
We've been thinking about this a lot over the years and it has it's pros and cons (as John has pointed out, so it'll need some thinking (and, obviously, time  )

Is it possible to block the messages which contain alexcastelli.com? All the spam messages that are posted, link to that website.
You could probably have a list of spam websites and not allow any message to be posted when it contains any of those links. The list could also be auto updated by regular members who report messages as spam or some kind of mechanism.

 Good idea!
Wikipedia does the same thing: a blacklist with URLs from unwanted hosts, see Wikipedia:Spam_blacklist[^]. Spammers want to push their websites and when all of them are black listed they probably lose their interest.

Ah, but the problem is that spammer setup landing pages on legitimate sites in order to post links on other pages that will not be spotted as spam. Have you visited alexcastelli.com? He's an Italian kid with a blog site that looks to have been hijacked. 24hrs later and the spammers have moved onto other sites.
Blocking URLs is about as effective as blocking IP addresses.

CP Team,
I had a prompt from CP to confirm the email in one of the forum pages. I have two observations on the said advisory email.
1) 'The CodeProject' name is broken in the free-flow text of the email
2) It says the email has been updated. I believe it should 'As part of routine confirmation' (or as appropriate)

The CodeProject is actually "The Code Project" if you look at the logo above Bob. There seems to be some inconsistency there.

For about a month or so I am having problems with staying logged into the website. Sometimes when I visit www.codeproject.com codeproject fails to use cookies to do automatic login. Sometimes even when I have logged in and clicks on a link then the new page forgets that I am logged in. The worst case is when I type a message or answer and after clicking submit the system askes for credentials. The funny thing is that if I refresh a page couple of times then I am logged in automatically.
I am using Windows 7 + IE8. I have deleted cookies and cleared temporary files but it does not help.

I had the same issue. A restart solved my problem.

I am having this problem for more than a month. And of course I have restarted my computer many many times since then.

Do you have any addins? Some anti-virus program stripping cookies? A privacy filter that's stripping cookies?

Yes I have addins but most of them are standard.

I use IE7Pro only for closing tabs by double clicking them. I don't use any scripts from IE7Pro. I can disable it and try for couple of days.
I have Microsoft Security Essentials but I keep it disabled by default and enable it on need basis.
I am not sure about IE privacy setting as I never play with them. But I will allow to always accept cookies from codeproject.
Any other ideas?

Okay I thought I will use FireFox for a while because it is really annoying to keep refreshing the CP pages. But I have exactly the same problem with FireFox!!! So the problem is definitely not with the browser settings. Any ideas what it can be?

I've never seen this myself, and aren't getting inundated with complaints about this so I'm a little stuck trying to work out what's happening.
We moved to .NET4 and it's certainly throwing more errors (internally) due to that ridiculous change to RequestValidation that has been made, but if a page fails it fails - it's not going to have a problem, not log you in, and then keep going.
Two things could be happening
1. Cookies are being stripped or dropped. That's an issue your end you should investigate
2. Certain pages you visit are being served to you from the cache, not live. You're logged on in one page, you request another (eg the homepage) instead of sending back the latest, your browser simply serves up an old cached version where you appear logged out.
Only issue with (2) is I think you reported that you would try posting a message but it would fail because you weren't logged in. That's not a cache issue, that's a login issue, hence (1)

I found a bug with deleting answers (I think, not gonna test it since there is the danger of deleting an actual answer)
When I delete one of those spam answers I get a succesfully deleted message (but the answer is still visible)
Then when I press the delete of the second spam answer, not the second spam answer gets deleted but the answer after that one (and if that's a real answer it's gone).
so imagine this:
answer 1 = actual
answer 2 = spam
answer 3 = spam
answer 4 = actual
delete 2 and you get successful then delete 3 and 4 is deleted.
[EDIT]
Found another one (and was able to test this one )
Delete an answer press F5 to refresh and you get a message box (which nobody ever reads so... ) saying something about actions being repeated and such, press continue and the answer after the deleted answer also gets deleted.
So the action being repeated is actually the delete action.
All on chrome
Not testing on others since it is kind of dangerous unless I find some more spam messages.

Looks something wrong with Delete to me too...
Today deleted answers are no more visible to me... generally they are.
and ya... Spammers are back!

I think that's intentional since I made a suggestion for that
