Ah, I see it now, and the same as you, lots of messages bookmarked on Saturday.

That user is simply very diligent about downloading samples. The numbers don't seem crazy, though a little obsessed

It just seemed a bit odd allocating the points to "Organiser" status; but I guess you have to add them somewhere.
[edit]
Given the comments in his bio, I wonder if he's selling the stuff!

Roger Wright posted this: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4092167/Help-With-My-Homework.aspx[^] to the Lounge a day or two ago. For some reason it was moved to the 'Free Tools' forum.
The only reason I can see for it being moved is the word 'homework' in the title. Roger was asking for other people's experiences with working outside their home country. Possibly whoever moved the post was over-zealous, and didn't actually read the post before moving it. I certainly don't think there was anything in his post that was unLounge-worthy.
Along with that, I don't understand the reasoning behind moving it to the Free Tools forum. That sounds more like a drag-and-drop gone wrong than anything else.
Software Zen: delete this;

My only guess as to why that post would be moved to the free tools forum is if the person who moved it thought of Google as a free tool that Roger might be looking for to answer his question (moving it for that reason would be a bit cheeky). Still, I don't see a good reason for it to have been moved at all. Good spot.

I've been looking into this and have discussed this with Roger. I'm tempted to move the post back but I'd rather he reposted to ensure the message gets the exposure it's entitled to; moving will move it back but will not provide any exposure since it'll be pages deep.

Given the depth of Roger's feelings on this, I'm pretty sure this isn't going to happen. The consequences, as noted elsewhere, are a real shame.
|
|
|
|

Then I'll repost it for him.
I trust those to whom I have given the power of moderation but somewhere a mistake was made. Roger's a sensible guy (in fact, one of the more sensible I've ever had the pleasure of knowing). However, we'll wait and see.

Indeed he is, but his feelings were hurt on this. I'm giving it a couple of weeks before I attempt to soothe his ruffled feathers, and guide him gently back into the fold.

No need to move it, Chris. The point's moot, since the deadline for the assignment was Saturday. But I reserve the right to repost it one day as a discussion topic, as I think that many members have probably been tempted to look into offshore work, and could benefit from the experiences of others who have walked that road before them.
Will Rogers never met me.

Ah, bugger. I could have waxed lyrical on the subject. None of it probably would have been admissible, but when would that ever stop me blathering endlessly?
Again, I apologise for the mixup.

How do I change the email address where Tech Summit announcements come to? The current address is different than my Code Project sign-in address and the emails I receive contain no link for address changes.

Hi Steve - I would be more than happy to update your email address for you.
If you could provide me with your email address I can make the adjustment. You can send it to aimee@codeproject.com.

This user[^] has deleted his articles as suggested a couple of posts below - however his rep for them still seems to be in place.

That's a bug. We're not clearing out download rep points on delete.

Hmm... maybe those points should stay?
Those downloads have happened and the downloaders have benefited from the code they accessed. Even if the code is no longer available to others, the original people still have it if they chose to save/use it.

The person who downloaded the zips certainly keeps the points. However, if an article is deleted then all rep points for that article for the author are removed.

Yesterday my article Gradients made easy[^] experienced
a period from 6AM until 11AM where ~900 downloads occured. It seemed kind of odd since previous to that
time 10-15/day has been the norm.
I experienced the same thing on my site a while back where over ~1000 downloads occurred over a ~2 hour period.
Don't know whether anyone else has experienced this problem and it's only happened just the one time but
thought it worth relating.
Thanks,
Mike

One member decided he really, really liked your article.
All sorted.

Hello
I would like to delete all articles posted by me on codeproject.
Would request the admins to do so.

At the top right of each one of your articles there is a Red Cross icon you can use to delete them.

Why I can now see the reply link in the Soapbox, I get a 'do not have permission' page if I click on it.
Let me know if there is anything I need to do.
Thanks,
Giles

I just tried it on your account and it's working fine for me. Is it still an issue for you?
