Hi,
I found a bug in a version of the code posted with an article, and posted a comment about it. The author and I communicated and they have updated their article with the bug fixed.
Now my comment will cause confusion as it applies to code no longer available and I would like to delete it, but the delete option is greyed out (it may be because the author replied to my comment).
How do I find out why the comment cannot be deleted? (And possibly force it anyway?)

Edit your comment and add the information to that effect.

I don't think there's any need to delete that comment.
If you feel like it might cause confusion:
You should be able to edit your comment
Some suggestions:
- Edit the subject to something like "Fixed: " + the original title
- Edit the message to include a comment like "this bug has been fixed in Version xy"
I feel such comments are quite valuable to see that the author is actually maintaining his code instead of just exposing it to the wild and leaving it to its own. Also you see problems that have been encountered and how they were fixed. This might even give an incentive to look at these changes a bit more.

I recently posted this[^] message in the Lounge. Only a few minutes after that and I am being presented with advertisements related to piano/keyboards from Amazon. I rarely see any advertisements which are not related to any software products here on CP. And this is particularly astonishing because previously, I hadn't seen any ad on CP for a piano/keyboard, or any musical instrument, for that matter. 
The part I am wondering is, how did that happen? Apart from the posted form (that too, at most once), I don't think the word "piano" appeared anywhere else, so that the Google ad generator(?) would pick it up. Is this something done by CodeProject? Does CP provide regular "feeds" based on member messages?

Happened to me also, but I have been Googling about organs.

We use Google's AdX system as a remnant provider if we have no ads suitable for showing, and given that AdX runs almost everyone on the 'net there's a good chance it has picked up your interest in pianos from another site.
There's a chance that Google indexed that forum page, saw "piano" in it, and added that to its signals on what ad to show, but I couldn't tell you.
We don't provide Google feeds of data - it slurps it all up like a ravenous beast itself.

Ah, that explains some weird stuff I've seen.

If we can have CPTV back and community can convert still relevant articles, to videos over time, do you think it will be good?
I personally will be so happy. I have been trying to learn ASP.Net web API and have found a lot of article and lots of good video tutorials. It got me wondering if all of CP article wealth could be made into nice little videos.
If not CPTV, how about a YouTube channel?

Good idea.
Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning

CodeProject.TV has gone to a better place.

On your settings page (Profile - My Settings) is a checkbox named "Remember me so I don't have to log on again". If that is checked, you are logged in automatically.

Sorry, that was not clear from your post. Then it should be handled by a site administrator.

Where are you logging in from?
Is it your computer?
Has someone else used this computer to log into CodeProject?
Please log out of the account and log into your own.
Thank you

Hi,
I want to change my display name from Rooney Bisht to Deepak Bisht but I am not allowed because it says it is already taken. This validation should be there for user name and not display name. Multiple people can have the same display name but should have different user name.
Now the problem is that lot of my friends don't trust me when I publish an article after looking at the name which is displayed(Rooney Bisht). They think someone else has written it.
Can this be looked as a defect/bug and fixed soon?
Thanks & Regards,
Deepak Bisht

Err no. The display name is what is displayed and it's just going to be confusing. Suppose you started calling yourself Chris Maunder, how do you think that would look? People look at your name, and not at your member ID so there is too much room for someone to try and pass themself off as someone else.

And we can't have that kind of thing going on, that's for sure!
