I answered a question, and the OP marked it as "the" answer. Yesterday when someone did that, I got 25 points. Today, I didn't. Am I bumping up against some other (yet to be defined) limit? This is the question:

There's a limit of 10 per day 
I can't think of one good reason why this should have a limit. Maybe the hint is that once you answer 10 questions, take time off CP and go spend time with your guns, nascar models, and family

0) I don't do Nascar any more - not since Dale Earnhardt died.
1) I'm at work - on a miltary installation - and the irony that nobody on the base has a weapon is so thick you could cut it with a knife (if those weren't prohibited as well).
2) My one child is a federal prison guard in California.
3) My wife is my partner (and quite adept at loading the magazines for the guns I can't have on the base.

For all of Codeproject, or per user?
This would have been the first one for me today.

That's a good explanation! 5+

I don't see that marked as an answer!
Generally, an answer gets a light green background without border when your answer score is 4+ after 3 people vote. Currently, the answer in question has 4 votes accounting to total of 5/5 and thus a light green shade. OP, has not marked it as an answer yet. Once he does, surely you should get +25.
Further, for attaining marked answer limit in a day (10), we totally depend on enquirers. It really needs, a good effort from enquirer side, which we all know for now is very very difficult! 
I don't think so that your accepted answer limit must have reached for the day. (Just verified your answer list, surely not the case.)

The different shade is confusing then. I saw that and thought (without checking) it had been marked as the answer.

Actually, my comment about limit was more towards yours and Nish limit conversation.

That has got to be one of the most excellent answers I've seen in awhile. Very in depth and (even for me) simple to understand. Your analysis of how the OP's original code was causing problems was truly icing on the cake. Good work.

Thanks for the kind words.
It's too bad the OP hasn't been back to mark it as the answer - yet.

John, this is the perfect answer, just one addition. When using Tryparse() the second argument should be an “out” argument and the integer variables have to be initialized/in order to use the “out” key word./
I tried to add this as a comment to your answer, but it will not allow me for some reason /server problem it says/.

Thanks. I just plain forgot that. It's fixed now.

yep.

nope. that would be true for a ref keyword, out stuff is output only, it promises the caller a value will be assigned no matter what (barring fatal exceptions such as stack overflow).

you got it. I'm very independent.

In the "What is 'The Code Project'?" page, you have postedeach without a space in the Articles section.
Also, why is it called Guide to The Code Project in the page?

I know that the The Code Project Discussion Boards[^] (yes, I added an extra the) code is available for download. I'm curious if there are other things, such as your custom log parser, that are also available somewhere? Why isn't that page linked in the "What is 'The Code Project'?" page?
Have a need for that since I'm not too happy with some of the other freely available one.

As far as I know the code in the article was redesigned and rewritten (in fact CP moved to ASP.NET several years ago if you remember). So I don't think any of CP's current codebase is available to download.

If you are, and you are fine with the StackoverFlow model, then their code is available for download. I don't know what license it's under though.
