How many more people are going to ask this question again and again? And how many more times does it need to be explained?

ungrits teeth.

One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

Don't mind Richard... he's grumpy on the occasion (as we all are I guess). Yeah, this hasn't been working correctly for a bit.

What do you mean on the occasion? I'll have you know I'm always grumpy.

I am getting bored with seeing all these questions about points, both here and in the lounge. That is really not what CodeProject is about.

Correction... Always grumpy. Smile | :)

...yeah, a lot of people ask but you also don't have to answer...although at this point I'm sure Chris shares your feelings.

In the same way that you don't.

Hi Milind_T,

I understand your concern expressed here; I am sure many CP member share the same concern.

But, I suggest you consider the "big picture" here: there is a technical problem, it involves some complex issues of server migration of vasts amount of data; Chris has clearly identified the nature of the problem in the pinned post at the top of this forum, and, he has reassured us all that all original data is intact.

Why not assume, as I believe most of us do, that the entire CP staff is working night and day to solve the problems, and that Chris is probably in the midst of a "heroic" struggle, working with ferocious intensity, to (American slang) "take care of business."

Think of all the good things CodeProject has given you: the information; answers to your technical questions; access to brilliant articles from master programmers; perhaps, even emotional support. Wit, laughter, and companionship, in the Lounge, on almost any level you can imagine.

All for free !

Surely, this is a time for patience among us: we, the lucky nine-million plus ?

regards, Bill

CP owes us nothing. It's a free of charge service and no one forces us to use it. The fact that you are posting this shows you DO care about the points; if you did't, you wouldn't be checking your reputation to see if the points were added or not.

Thanks for confirming Chris. And sorry to cause pain to some by this question Frown | :-(

I was thinking if it would be good idea not to give point for answering. At times I have seen it instigates new member to answer for sake of answering with just some one-liner and/or a link. If only acceptance or upvoting earns points then it refrains such users from putting silly answers. There are many sites which practice this.

Thanks,
Milind

It would be nice if we can add image in question/Answer in QA Section.

most of the problem needs snap of the error message.

Thanks

This one crops up with tedious regularity. Add the image to something like imgur, and then link to it from the question/answer.

Agree, that could be possible but as we got some email for an issue, we do not get any link for the image. we directly get the image inside email. same way it would be nice if we have. otherwise we have so many sites to host images.

Thanks

And what happens when someone puts an image in that's not safe for work? Do you really want to open up an email that some "wit" has decided to put a picture of genitalia in thinking it's clever? This has been debated and the downsides are too many. If you choose to click the image link to open it, you do so of your own volition.

i don't know about how safe allowing images or not but can we check image header information to check if anything vulnerable is there ? and we can filter those kind of images to upload.

sorry if i am asking some foolish question D'Oh! | :doh:

Thanks

Unsafe images don't always have header info that says they are unsafe. Sorry, but as has been discussed before in this very forum, this is not a great idea.

Why posting a link?
You can also use the img-tag.
