The message IDs are different meaning multiple posts.
Looks like he was either drunk, temporarily insane, or was experiencing site difficulties.

The last two are double indented and threaded in reply to the wrong post. That seems to rule out a user end error.

So you're saying we can narrow it down to him being drunk or there being a site error?

Unless there's an option to double indent a post that I've never heard of it can't all have been due to intoxication. Which is not to say he didn't get plastered as well.

Yeah, there's an option for it - you just post a reply to yourself, then delete the parent before the reply has a chance to propagate to the server you're talking to. Or something like that; i've made it happen before, but never reliably.
So yeah, he must have been totally wasted...

Test post. Can I do this? reply.

When an article is marked as moved, the only way to update it is to send an email to editors. Is it not possible to still have the wizard just for file uploads?
It takes longer to fix bugs and downgrades quality of articles for a while. I know it's my mistake to have bugs in first place, but I deserve having one more chance, don't I? 
That's good to let article content be upgraded just by editors, but attached demos and sources are another story IMHO.

This is on our TODO list. We want to enable updates like this as well.

That's really cool. Thank you so much. I have just 6 articles. I'm sure this make legends very happy.
I owe you a beer, just if I was in Canada.

So I leave for a while, come back and see that my status has been degraded to Silver. What's up? What did you guys do with my Gold!
|
|
|
|
|
After endless debate about the merits of whether signing up 3 years ago, posting a single message and doing absolutely nothing else warranted Gold status it was decided that Gold and above required more active participation to achieve.
Sorry

Hey !
I have two articles (planning to write more) and many messages. I think there is a conspiracy here... this cannot be an innocent mistake

If you feel that you deserve the gold status than earn it. If you did it once (or stumbled upon it after many years) then you can do it again with the new criteria.

Perhaps the conspiracy is claiming your homepage is Google.

The date selection controls comboboxes (month and year) does not work with Firefox 3. When I click on a month, it just closes the whole date picker window, but does not update the text part to reflect the new data. The same is true with the year box.
But if I use the keyboard (pressing enter after I've selected a month) it will close the combobox and update the text field correctly. And the datepicker window is still open (as it should be).
I'm running Firefox 3.0 on Windows XP sp2 with the following addons:
All-in-One Sidebar
ColorZilla

I hate our data picker anyway. Time for a new one.

I've probably recommended the one in jQuery.UI before, but if not, here's my recommendation. It sucks less[^].

1. Can we have this blockhead[^] removed?
2. Is there some kind of check employed while a user sets/changes his display name? I wish there was such a thing.

his unique post [^] is even worse than his display name.
