Delete button on messages work great,but it would be nice if deleting main thread removes everything related to that thread.

The popup used to have a delete thread option, but I suspect it was removed as being too dangerous ...

If it is really needed, you can always delete all the thread one by one (I know is a bit work, but still possible)

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I did it,but we need more coffee in case the thread is too long. Further,it shows unnecessary long thread with "Message removed". If its removed,it should be removed.
e.g. Snap_2014-12-04_at_14.33.37

This is why you don't have the button.
If a thread is long it means lots of people have contributed. The more people who have contributed the less likely I would ever remove the entire thread. Removing a post and a "wrong forum!" reply is no problem. But removing an entire thread of active discussion because of a single root message isn't polite to those who had the discussion. Marking the root message as "deleted" and leaving the remaining messages is more appropriate.

You had another thread as "message deleted" in the Report forum and I nuked it without problems.
I think you have used the wrong delete.

It's nice to see Google Helpouts feature in CP. Nice work and it must be permanent this time. I'm still not convinced why we lost CodeProject WorkSpace feature.

If you search about it in this forum you should find one or two posts from Chris Maunder explaining the reasons.

It just to remind @Chris-Maunder if there is a tiny possibility to return back Workspaces.

Would it be possible to open a Messageboard about the W-language (development tools of PC-Soft).
Tools are: Windev, Windev Mobile and Webdev
PCSoft Site: www.pcsoft.com or www.windev.com
Would be great if we could use this great CodeProject Site to ask questions to the formum, post articles, etc...
Thanks
Danny

Why do you need to, since both sites have their own support forums.

There are many answers which saying that "we don't do the homeworks".
for example check this[^]
May be there are reasons for not using reporting options or comments sections for such questions which I don't know.
is this behaviour accepted? shall we start doing the same?

Giving a chance to the user to improve his way of asking questions and hence the possibility to get another type of answers without scaring him with a nuke.
Although, if the user persist and start pissing off, the hammer solution is still something to be considered.
I, personally, say that usually as comment, but... if the "question" is so clear to be from a lazy assh... then I put it as answer to remove it from the unanswered list. It is enough time waste with one person's read. I leave a postdata though, if the user edits the question and raises it another time to the active list, then I remove my answer or edit it to give another kind of solution.

I agree. I do not like that as an answer.
Even if it is homework, we should still help.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

It depends on the question. If someone posts an obvious assignment without showing any evidence of trying to solve it, then this is the obvious, and correct response. It still give them the opportunity to reword the question and show that they have tried to solve it for themselves.
If you do someone else's work for them, there are a couple of problems:
- The poster will likely not learn anything from it.
- They can submit the answer as their own work, and maybe gain a qualification that they don't deserve.
Would you want to work with someone who gained employment that way?

As a comment, yes, but not as a solution.

No one is suggesting that.

I think it is a totally legal answer...Sometime the explanation of what wrong with the question is the only answer...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.
