Because User Names are not Account ID's.
There ought to be a check for uniquity (Check this is a word - ed).
However if an account is deactivated then the name probably becomes available again.

I don't think thats right as fat_boy had to keep adding another underscore on each re-incarnation.

He was banned, not removed. At least initially. Banned means the member name is still locked. Removed means the name is available to others.

Ok, this happens on any page with a forum (so basically 99% of the site). Once the page has fully loaded, and then if I try to browse to a different URL, the browser just hangs. IE9 by the way. If I try to close the tab, I get this message:
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/Uploads/20248/CP_IE_Capture.PNG[^]
So CP's running some background script that prevents the page from closing normally, which explains why the page won't redirect to the new URL.

I was just about to say: "IE?".
We've been looking into this and it seems some of the ad scripts from third parties trigger IE into thinking a script is still running (and sometimes that a download is still completing, even though fiddler clearly states otherwise).
Regardless, we'll look into it.

Has the computation of the monthly top experts in Q&A changed? I am seeing figures like 360, 331, 313, etc.

Or, is it the 1st of the month today?

Ooops. I thought it was still 31 of July.

To head off the spate of new users that are using their profiles to advertise/spam, why don't you prohibit the ability to add links to a user's profile or specify a home page (other than www.codeproject.com) until the user has reached the level of Silver Participant.

Most of the pink list bios are link's only. As I said before, the link only bio is a 100% give-away.

They are no more!
I gave all of them a good smack, except for the [abusive name] guy. He was already history.
Dammned! I sure would have liked to see what that was all about.
Good job Nagy!
You find them, we grind them!
You do the seeking and we'll have them squeeking!
You do the hunting and we'll do the punting!
Ok, better stop now or I'll get carried away with this.
