It's easy to check specifically for sentences. However, I don't want to be hardcoding anything - I want an algorithm that will take the template, take an article, and tell me how likely it is that the article contains major portions of the template. Any major (complete sentence, say) at any point in the article. This means that I have to make the template well-worded enough so that it doesn't contain sentences that may legitimately appear in an article.
Or I can look for just whole sections of the template, defined as anything from a H2 to a block-type element that isn't P. A single character can throw this off so it needs to be flexible.
In the end it's a basic Diff algorithm but I just don't have one handy, and at the moment we have more important bugs to squash so have been resorting to the tried-and-true check-moderation-queue-and-delete-the-duds algorithm.
Basically I need more hours in the day.

Chris - my apologies if my small attempt at code to weed out the crap wasn't up to snuff.

No apologies needed Pete. You know the law about making something idiot proof and the Universe just making a better idiot...

I want to delete my articles (Why? They are outdated and stupid! I am more mature now!)
When I had login, at top of the page of my 1st article, there were a "delete" button. I have pushed it and the article deleted.
But I can not delete my other articles. 
Is this a bug?

You may like to write to webmaster (at) codeproject.com with the article details so that the CP Admin Team can help you out with your request.

Send an email to submit@codeproject.com and we will remove them.
However, just because you may have outgrown them doesn't mean they aren't of use to others.

I posted a message[^] to my Code Project blog. It looks like I forgot to put in a closing pre tag for the code (I know, I should have previewed the post before posting it). For some reason, this error has hidden the "edit" link at the bottom of the post; I can't find it. So I'm unable to edit or delete my post.

Hi CP guys:
Will be useful a private reminder option inside My CodeProject, to write my own Article Wish List, that is, the articles I wish to publish in the future.
Best regards,
Jaime.

That would be an interesting option. The ability to have a TODO list. I personally just keep a list on my computer with Outlook or another program.

I tried to use some workaround for this, like My Blog, but I don't want to make my list public, also I cannot edit the list, I have to post again an updated list.
Best regards,
Jaime.

For the last couple of hours, forum page loads seem to happen in a different way.
First the headers and the leftside menus appear, together with a big orange panel, ready to show
the messages. Then all, or first some then all, expected messages appear.
Not sure I like all this flashing stuff, especially the abundance of the CP orange color (which
is quite OK in small doses).
[ADDED]
example from Lounge, where it is most prominent:

Dial-up will always be horrible and it is only when you upgrade to a faster internet when you don't have to worry about this. Unfortunately I have dial-up, however, I don't seem to see a problem with the coloring as it loads.

Chris' message below suggests you are not using FireFox then?
Cheers.

This will happen if your connection is very slow, the servers are having a bad day and/or you're using Firefox. When Firefox renders only part of the page it fills in the gaps as best it can until it gets more info.

OK, I am using FF most of the time, my connection is fine (ADSL), so lets blame your servers.
If it happens again, I will try IE.

I would like to be able to post to the CodeProject forums from either my home system or my company workstation. In order to receive notification of responses regardless of which computer I post from, I would need both email addresses registered with the forum. I realize this would add some overhead for you guys to deal with, but it doesn't seem like it would be appreciable.
How about it?

This would be messy. So many users find it hard enough managing a single email address that adding multiple emails that members would lose, would become inactive, would change etc would just cause us headaches.

I agree. That is why I have my email address for CP tied to my blackberry

Hi,
you could set up a free web-based email account devoted to CP, and either check that regularly,
or have it forward everything to both your regular email addresses. Or use an iPhone, a BlackBerry, ...

in the messages Boards, not including the conversation forms, as people answer the questsions, the original message should lower itself in priority and sort onto the other pages.
for example
Q1
Q2
Q3
Q4
A1
A2
Then an answer for Q2 comes in... and the form would look like the following:
Q1
Q3
Q2
A3
Q4
A1
A2
This way the unanswered Items would remain on the first pages, so they would recive more attention.

That's not a very good idea. Sometimes a question is ignored just because it makes no sense or it's obviously somebody trolling - why should these questions remain at the top ad-nauseam. Each forum has a link to show unanswered questions, so you could always use this.

Then we should vote them away... no?
