Now, there's an idea.

Instead of only answering a question - and removing it from the "unanswered" queue - when we fully understand what the OP is trying to ask (and trust, me that can take a Looooooong time with some of 'em) we could have the system automatically post an answer at random from other questions using (say) 50% of the same words.
It probably wouldn't be of any use to the OP, and it would mean that nobody would know which questions are waiting for a solution, but it would get the question answered quickly, which appears to be your priority.

Most people would rather have a considered response from a volunteer who knows what they are doing instead ...

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

The job of a potential QA participant (both questioner and answerer) is to make himself clear about some development/programming/coding point. Unfortunately, nearly all posters become overly verbose to make his work so.

If counterpoints posted as ANSWERS were only COMMENTS the solution to problems would be arrived at faster. As soon as the original poster, upon seeing his question become a target for commenting and not ANSWERING, adds an [EDIT] ... [END EDIT] section to his post, he is acknowledging some sort of understanding. He doesn't need to further the "conversation" as such until he gets something to work then.

The thing is, there's a token system here where rewards are meeted out for good work. Obviously there's nothing to deter bad work. The nature of bad work is it's badness alone.

What? You mean a time limit within which someone should answer? Sounds like a deadline. Feels like work.

Why?

Your answer will be very helpful and time saving for the guys asking the questions

Not really if I need to adhere to your first two points. Here's is what your first two sentences mean: I need to quickly answer a question if it is a simple yes or no. I doubt that will be helpful.

If you want faster time to answer, you should try paying services.

Yes or No is almost never the answer one expect.

Just an idea: dress yourself as an expert helper and read all questions, see how fast some are answered, see which ones are not answered. When a question get multiple answers, it usually mean that there is more than 1 problem in question.

Note that helpers are usually not expert in every language, framework, commercial product ...
An helper will only answer on what he knows.

Sorry again for this...
But dear CP can you tell me what "smoothing function" you are using for the statistics in something like "https://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/Statistics.aspx?aid=xyz"

Recently I've been constantly seeing the "Log off from other locations" button.

Could it be possible to see info about the other locations? Such as IP, browser etc.

Wow, that fast, thank you!

Any idea why 'other' session keep coming back? If I press the big red button and restart the browser, I see other sessions again. All of them coming from my IP but the sessions are started and expired long ago.

Ah, never mind, of course it's showing local time at the host.

So all good, thanks again!

The project download at:

https://www.codeproject.com/Tips/1200547/Beveled-Panel-with-Shadow-Effect

is infected with the URL:Mal virus. My anti-virus program won't let me download it.

I don't understand this post. I thought I was the one who reported a problem.

Also, I just checked the link on two different computers. The link is still infected.

Which antivirus are you using? What OS? Browser?
What 0x01AA is saying is that he has tried the downloads and both of them pass his antivirus checks.
For what it's worth, I just downloaded the Debug.zip from that article and scanned it with an up-to-date Kaspersky, and it found no problems:

So it's quite possible that it's a false positive, given that the article was last updated in August last year so it's unlikely to be infected with anything really new.

The Browser is Chrome latest version and AVG anti-virus latest version.

It is quite possible that your diagnosis is correct.

You have (CodeProject) have my email address. Is there any possibility that the two zip files could be emailed to me?

If your antiivirus is any good it should block the zips via email as well. Laugh | :laugh:

But ... only the admins have access to emails, us peons are (thankfully) blocked from that.

The "Debug.zip" contains just an EXE and a DLL (so I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot cattleprod - gawd knows what the EXE does)
The "AdvancedPanelExample.zip" does contain source code files (as well as a couple of DLL files I wouldn't trust, but that's me).

I've unzipped the example, and uploaded it to Dropbox: AdvancedPanelExample[^] - you should be able to get teh code from there.
Let me know when you've grabbed it, and I'll delete it - otherwise it'll be there for a week, and then I'll tidy it up ...

All good comments and advice!

Thanks a million.

I will talk to AVG to see if there is a problem with my anti-virus.

Incidentally, the error indicates that the problem is with the page, not the files. When there is a problem with a file, it downloads the file and then cures it. When there is a problem with the page, it aborts loading of the page - which is what it did this time.

In any case, I will talk to them. And thanks very much for your kind support.
