I may be wrong, but isn't the removal of a message by members whose reputation reputation level was >(some magic number) the reason for this discussion?
A system such as this needs some checks and balances. Does voting for a thread move that is later deemed inappropriate incur a penalty to those voting for said move? Say a loss of half their reputation points.

I think that complicates the issue - a simple "Move Thread To Another Forum" link would suffice. This is how some other functionality (available to high-rep members) works.
The system would also need a "CantMovePost" bit in the database. If Chris think a thread was erroneously moved (with the best of intentions) to forum "X" instead of forum "Y", he could simply reposition it and mark the thread "no longer moveable".

That's some serious archeology.

We already have that feature. The trick is we just need to expose it to more members.
This touches on a deep but important thing I've been skirting around: allowing high rep members to edit / delete questions in the forums in exactly the same manner as in Quick Answers.
It will happen.

Guys and girls - please get the advertisements sorted out. They keep showing me adverts for Wonga.com. I have many, many reasons not to want to see adverts from companies who have interest rates that would even make loan sharks think twice. Please, for the sake of my sanity, get it to stop.

So you won't be watching the mighty Toon this Season? It looks like all your favourite things are getting Wongafied don't be surprised to go home to night to find your Missus and kids wearing Wonga.com Sandwich Boards.

I am seeing ads for World Globes (I did go to their site to look for a globe for my father). And furniture. And some various other things.

All I can think is that it's using Google at the backend and picking up on my association with NUFC (sponsored by Wonga).

Wonga adds are everywhere at the moment.
I downloaded a new free Twitter client for my Android last week, fired it up and first thing to pop up was a Wonga ad. Uninstalled and let the publishers know why.
I doubt it is anything to do with the Toon, just a UK wide assault.

I have submitted a new Article of type Reference
http://www.codeproject.com/Reference/632333/HIPAA-Securing-an-ASP-NET-Website[^]
It is reviewed/edited and finally published, i can see that on the homepage of CodeProject (may be for a while), but when i visit my profile page i don't see it liked to my profile under contributions. How would someone know what Reference Articles i have created.

You can select the number of posts to show on each page in a forum.
Now, I'd really like an option to deny the cutting of a thread in half.
Meaning:
If the page should show 50 posts and the thread starting on after post 47 has 6 posts, then I'd like the page to either show 54 posts or only the 47.
That's usability top notch!
It is a paradox that paradoxes would actually exist in reality.
That means of course that they don't exist.
However, they do!

And what happens when you get an exceptionally long thread? I'm sure there have been threads in the Lounge which contain many hundreds of posts; if you try to load the entire thread in one go, you could end up crashing the browser.

Cut at MAX_LENGTH ... (in 99.999% of the cases a thread will not top 50 ((Nagy's Xo)+1) messages)
* So practically MAX_LENGTH of say, 100((Nagy's Xo)+Yo) will cover anything but conversations my wife has with her sister.

Threads regularly break a page. I can't be elephanted to trawl back, but at least weekly a thread breaks 50 posts. 99.999% that is not.

See update above
(the 50, 100 Int values were arbitrary)

No wonder it doesn't work properly then.
I'm sure the readership of this site who have worked extensively in Progress as a language is probably me and one other, but rest assured we're both pissing ourselves with laughter right now.

Okay, so that's you and me then...

Ask yourself why I drink so much before you start thinking you two are alone in being exposed to this..
FOR user WHERE user.language = 'Progress' EXCLUSIVE-LOCK:
ASSIGN user.mental_state = 'unstable'.

The pragmatic solution - not perfect but maybe easier and helps also:
Add to the new "go parent" also something like a "go next".
