I think what we're witnessing is the first build of the CP site that was done with VS2010.

We've just been upgrading our webservers and I suspect the tech involved forgot to pull the particular server out of the load balance cluster before shutting it down. There have been Words.

If I have accidentally said something witty, smart, or correct, it is purely by mistake and I apologize for it.

I should think so. I'm glad you've given up communicating via the medium of dance. It wasn't pretty, and that time you did riverdance did result in four of your hamsters shorting out the eastern seaboard.

And what, in your opinion, caused the recent volcano uproar?

Actually that was us, too. I keep asking them to Ctrl+F5 to ensure they aren't repeating issues from previously but they never listen.

I was going to suggest that here too[^], but then I dropped the idea, everyone knows the simple magic by now. And we probably need a real Force this time.

Of course, simple actually.
fed up by "404"? Just say "no more".

Hi Chris,
the 404 frequency seems to be increasing.
should I try more CTRL/F5's? or will you have more and stronger Words in GTA?

I'm actually moving on to a baseball bat.
In any case, that should be the last of the 404's

Yeah.
Surprise us with another number; what was 405 again?

I'll add my problem to this thread, since I feel it is related.
I just tried to post an answer in Q&A, the preview came up OK so I committed. When the answer appeared only the first two words were there. I tried several times to 'Improve Answer' with mucho Ctrl-F5ing in between, during and after, but I couldn't even get the preview to appear. During one of the times I pasted my answer into the editor, and this is why I think it relates to this thread, several spurious "404 ........ could not be found" were interspersed throughout the text.
In the end I gave up. I hope that this post works!

I came across something that I don't want to share details on in the forum.
It's a defect that allows users to modify their ranking. I wasn't certain of it, but I tried it on myself and it worked (yes...I'll have to lose 5 points!).
You guys might be aware of it already, but if not, shoot me an email.

Following this thread[^], there is indeed no 'delete account' or 'disable account' option.
Makes me wonder how many dead accounts there are.
I suggest there should be some sort of option to completely un-register from Code Project, for those who want to.
It would also give a more accurate count of the number of members, not just a count of everyone who ever registered to download one bit of code.

IMO you'll never get anywhere near the number of members, as people may create more than one account; one person having N accounts is just one member.
The best you can try and achieve I guess is some number of live accounts, you'd still have to define those of course. Deleting all accounts that have never published an article/question/answer/tip, never have voted, and haven't downloaded anything the last 12 months, could be a first step.
There may be reasons not to try though.

You could also go by last login date. A person that hasn't logged in for let's say 1 year will not be likely to do so again, and IF he tries, it's always possible to create a new account. In conjunction with your suggestions, that should be quite safe, I think...

So, maybe a de-activate opption rather than delete. (I see a referential integrity issue if they had previously posted) De-Activate would knock out all newsletters, emails from post links etc in one shot, rather than having to go through individually. More of a 'do not contact me ever again' option. Probably capturing the reason, such as 'Created a new account' etc.
Maybe even some way to email in and say 'Forgotten my password and not interested any more'. This could then ask for confirmation before de-activating. For example, I still have a 'Friends Reunited' account that I set up before they made you pay. I get the occasional email, but I can't access the account to dis-able it as I forgot the password, and anyway they want to charge me a sign-up fee just to access my 'free' account to dis-able it!
How about not logged on in the last 12 months as an active marker? That must be tracked now for the Reputation Graph.
