Could someone explain the status system?
-
I have suggested lots of things, including an "I have seen this, don't show it ever again" button, a "hide unapproved stuff" setting, buttons to vote on separate aspects of "articles" (length, content, style, clarity, ...) to no avail. Rather than make life easier for people who devote part of their time to make this a nice site, recent changes made it more difficult to tell you didn't like the "article" for some reason; now you have to type a lot of comment, and expect replies to that, etc etc. while CodeProject refuses to install a simple filter that would throw away half of the junk automatically anyway, without risking false negatives. :)

Having looked into some of the forums, I'd disagree when it comes to stupidity. One person didn't Google something because (s)he claimed that it was 'offline'
yes, unfortunately only a small subset of the alternatives got offered. Why isn't anyone using Altavista any more? :)

Have you considered using AdBlock? A simple filter will block part of a site, and you can enable or disable the rule as you wish
I hadn't. I now looked into it, I don't believe it would help, the "articles-needing-approval" is just a table inside a div, there is no URL called or whatever. :)

- before you ask a question here, search CodeProject, then Google - the quality and detail of your question reflects on the effectiveness of the help you are likely to get - use the code block button (PRE tags) to preserve formatting when showing multi-line code snippets

There doesn't need to be. It's possible to block individual elements[^]. I've been blocking all Google and CP adverts for quite some time now
Fantastic. Thanks a million. I turned gold again. BTW: I don't mind regular ads that much, they sometimes are creative :jig: Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles]

You're welcome. But I'm not a professional developer. I can very rarely afford to buy a control for $### when I can build one myself and learn from it. I've done this about 50 times, and it's worked like a charm. I'll try to upload them along with articles sometime

or you can be like me .. and not give a rats ass.. been here a long time, employer forbids me posting articles, and I get no respect ( Rodney Dangerfield) .. for my off topic posts

I trust you only pay attention to this restriction when you are using your employer's Internet connection. If you are posting from home, what the hell business is it of theirs where and what you post?

I've currently got 506 messages, and have been a member for 2.5 years. According to the little snippet on my profile I should be Gold. To be precise, this bit: Each 500 messages posted adds one level, and if a member has posted a message then each year of membership adds 1 level until the member hits Silver Each year of membership adds 1 level - check, putting me at Silver Each 500 messages posted adds one level - check. So, which level should I be? This is a little confusing, and I could do with some clarification

If you have to ask about status you automatically have none. ;)

I just noticed you are glowing a bit. Does that hurt? and is it contagious? :~

Prohibits you from writing all articles, or simply those related to your job? Depending on your country of residence, if it's the former, it may not be legally enforcable.
