For those that have watched the film "The Social Network", do you remember that scene where they are approaching their millionth member and they have the big screen up on the wall and refresh to see when they can start the party?
Well, I reckon @OriginalGriff has that setup in his living room and he is waiting for the 1M, and furiously hits F5 on his profile page.
At which point he will crack open a bottle of bubbly another sheep....

Thanks for the email address: now I know where to send the lanolin adverts!

That's a feature with that atsign I didn't know about.
|

Yep! As it works at the moment, if you prefix any member name with an atsign - even accidentally in an SQL parameter for example - an email is sent to the member notifying him of the reference to him, with your sign in email address as the return: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jijamnn60oyydad/20140319Email.jpg[^]

Aside from the obvious problem, any sensible email system should reject that message as spoofed.

Yes...I would demonstrate, but I'm not sure whether it works with names with a space in, and I'm reluctant to send my email address to a random dude called Jörgen in order to find out...

Are you telling me you're not curious?

Oh yes. But not so curious I want to send my email to random people...you've already got it!

Well, I'm curious.
Let's se what happens when I include @Jörgen Andersson in this message.
|
|
|
|
|

I see.
A small suggestion, the parser should check for a whitespace behind the username so that J doesn't get any more messages aimed at me.
Especially if you consider that this function sends a personal mail rather than a mail from codeproject that tells the reciever that they've been mentioned in a post (preferred function IMHO).

The issue is slightly different: the parser is looking only for ASCII characters. I've corrected that and will deploy soon.

Apparently someone called J got a mail today.

Look at your profile page, between your name and the "About Jörgen Andersson" tab, you can see what the at-name for your account is. The space becomes an underscore, and the ö becomes o.
What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

Its a pity RSE is already taken as a membername.

I think he's had quite a few emails already!

He did, and with this new more personal dimension to it, makes it much more interesting.

It's true that you are close to be a millionaire, but your Bob featured laptop sleeve is even closer! You have 46% of the votes and only 1 day left!!! Congratulations...

Dear Mr. Griff,
In lieu of your impending score on CodeProject surpassing the 1 million mark, which is a first for CP you have won an all expense trip to the Democratic Republic of the Congo or $50 whichever is greater. Congratulations on your impending feat and your tickets may be picked up at a sheep farm closest to you.
Congratulations again,
The staff

I have tried to educate her to use the proper name for a 'USB memory stick' or 'USB flash drive' but gave up when she insisted on calling it a zip drive.

You should be able to find one[^] for $1 at a yard sale, and show her the difference. 
Have added the two e's added one earlier and tested the link on edit page it worked. Then they say it doesn't. Then OG said two places. Well try again.
