When you hover the mouse over the "let this through" button in QA moderation, the tooltip that appears spells "post" as "psot":
"This is perfectly acceptable psot. Display the psot"
(And I just noticed the "Trash it" tooltip as well!)
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

And its one of the few ordering of the letters that doesn't spell something

At least I'm consistent. Misspelled it 4 time the same way.

That's copy and paste for you!

Actually, I kept typing it incorrectly when trying to correct it.
I must have done this before my morning coffee(s), like this morning.

I once misspelled the a word the exact same way 23 times before I got it right, so don't feel bad.
Spell check actually accepted the error. (I was using Word. Spell Check there is horrible)

As regulars in Spam & Abuse Watch probably have noticed, I have started hunting people who put spam in their biography, with the help of a small tool I created.
However, I'm fairly sure I cannot catch them all, because I rely on the Who's Who pages, and there are quite a lot of new pages in a day, so I thought it might be a good idea to have a filter in place to avoid this kind of spam, just like for messages and questions.
My suggestions:
- Only allow people to put something in their biography when they have their email address confirmed. I don't know how many spammers confirm an email address, but if I had to guess, I'd say it's a low amount.
- Have a spam filter for biographies, just like for messages and questions. There are several types of spam in biographies that always come back, so a filter could do a good job here.

The filter idea is a good one - but I'm not sure about the email. I noticed that most (nearly all) of the spammers you have picked up yesterday and today have given an avatar picture (in order to seem more "real" I assume) and if they bother to do that, it's trivial to confirm the email address.

True, that's a good point.

I suggested who's who filters for having a biography and having a homepage set some time ago.

While reporting a bad question, does "Not a question" mean "Bad quality post"?
How to report a bad, no effort question?

If it looks unclear to you, it's 'Unclear/Incomplete'. 'I want...it should do....please help me.' type of questions can simply be reported as 'Not a question'. I think so because question comes only after efforts(when you say, you need help). Before efforts, it's just requirement.

No, I didn't get accidently redirected there. But I didn't want to create a new account on there just to ask this...
Once upon a time, I created an account on rootadmin.com (at least I think I did). After not really using it, I forgot about the site. Well, once in a while I stumble upon it again and try to sign in. I try... and fail. And I give it up... So... what am I (or you) doing wrong?
I'm using the Google Login on CP for signing in. I don't really remember if I did the same with the RA account. At least I'm definitely using the same e-mail address as on CP, as RA displays that it is already in use.
However, I can't log in using Google Login (a popup opens, stays blank while loading, and then closes again)
I can't even get the site to let me reset the password by using the "SendPassword" page. It tells my something about cookies...

Could you take a look where it's going wrong?

takes me to rootadmin.com
What gives?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

We had an issue yesterday where one of the servers was mis-configured to serve rootadmin.com instead of CodeProject.com but that was fixed quickly. If you're still seeing this please take a look at the bottom of the page and let me know which server you're on.
I've tested them all individually and they are all working fine at the moment.
cheers

I have had to create a second account on Code Project as I can't remember the password for the first account and my company is now blocking my emails from Code Project so I can't even receive the password reset email! Is there any way I can get the password reset with the email sent to an alternative address?
I asked this question under "Ask A Question" and was advised to submit it here or ask the site admin. I can't find any way of contacting the site admin so I'm hoping someone here can help before this question gets closed without any useful information (or with information that I can't read because the article is closed).
And I received an email advising my original question had been closed but 'If you wish to revise and reopen your article based on the feedback from these members then simply go to How do I access my other account? and click the "Update my article" link.' But I couldn't find the link. Can anyone advise where to find it?
Thanks
