Absolutely, if used by a white person, and not in a historical context.
e.g. I can refer to Jospeh Conrad's "The Nigger of the Narcissus" perfectly well, it has historical context. Or I can refer to it while discussing the civil rights movement.
Generally, I doubt such usage would even draw a complaint.

I had a thought - why don't we have a forum where we can post what tools we use - freeware only, no paid or shareware apps in order to keep the ad trolls away... The good thing about the voting system is that as people here use the tools they can vote up or down whether they like them or not.
Like yesterday, someone was complaining about Roxio, and I suggested ImgBurn - several follow on posters liked it and one mentioned how that was the only reason he went through the ranting posts...

I think I was the one who benefited from your post and I like your suggestion. I often bookmark a forum posts\mainly because I’m behind WebSense and want to catch up with the links later at home\ and probably 90% of those bookmarked posts contain a link to some free/inexpensive tool I want to look at. Though such a forum will be very hard to be moderated. Someone will have to constantly check the post and delete the links to commercial tools/applications. Otherwise it will be unfear to the CP customers who pay for the banners.

It would be nice if there could be some kind of ordering on this too, not sure how it would be achieved, so we could see the most popular tools first.
Otherwise the best tools will get buried - as they'll presumably be recommended earlier, and its generally not considered good form to repost.
Another possibility would be to "pin" some so they always appear near the top. A lot of gamer's sites have this feature, so the 5 most commonly asked/looked for tips appear before the user loses patience and asks again.

FYI, it seems like a few times a week when I visit CP, ALL items in ALL forums are marked as new. Not a serious bug; just thought I'd mention it.

For me too. But I'm doing Login-Logout-Login again which is fine.(But I know it's a dirty way  ).
BTW I found this way accidentally

Same here. I reported this here in Site Bugs/Suggestions a while ago (several months ago), but it seems like nothing was done about that yet.

Is it possible you can add a feature to the notifications?
In the articles tab of the setting, provide a check box setting for Bookmarked Article Update Email Notification.
Then, whenever an article that a user has bookmarked is updated, drop an email to the user telling him/her so and have the article link in the message.
Cheers,

maybe "... updated by its author ..." to avoid cosmetic changes applied by editors (changing punctuation, adding CODE tags, etc).

I've gotten this error twice already. I was using my laptop at home over a wireless connection. When I get to work, I'll see if it happens there.

There has been a lot of odd pages flying about today, I think it is panic stations at Hamster Towers.

Try doing a refresh before you start editing. When there is a code update and you are posting back a page you loaded before the change, then do a post after the code has been updated, things get weird.

I reported[^] something similar that I had been facing since morning.
It's too slow to open today.

A little weird but I'll add a bug report for that.
I'm rebuilding some fragmented indices at the moment - this will speed things up nicely

There are times when you ask question on the forum and dont get the answer. Maybe after some days you find the answer yourself. In that scenario I suggest that there should be an option to mark yourself as answer.
By the way how can I edit my signature???

There is one. At least I can see it. It is called:
"Message Signature

Oh, in my settings it is not there. Seems like it is reputation based or something.

No I don't think so. Have you really navigated to "Forums"? There is no checkbox, it is only an input field that is invisible until you enter something.
