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.

IE7Pro Preferences
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
( see here for the suggestion )[^]

Ok... but it looks to me removing deleted answers is the reasons of the weird behviour/workflow of deleting answers (the way you have reported.)
I noticed, when i delete lets say answer4.. then it shows a message...'sucessfull deleted', next delete next one answer5 and it just removes answer4 again, doing nothing to Answer5.
So looks like, instead of hiding the deleted answers, they are totally removed and that is causing the issue!

|

Yeah my guess was / is that the internal index of the answers isn't updated or something.
Which could indeed be the result of no longer showing the deleted messages.

Thanks for the report. I'll take a look at it today.
