Write your own messages, fart knocker!

Someone just requested the password to be sent for a message written by me. The message password was of course sent to me, so no harm done. But it annoys me a little that someone actually *tried* to change what I've written. It doesn't contain anything that could upset anyone, unless this someone has a problem with C++ and standards compliance.

I got two in a day. I think some of our newbies are just confused. Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002 Hey, at least Logo had, at it's inception, a mechanical turtle. VB has always lacked even that... - Shog9 04-09-2002 Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002

I had the same problem last week. As Christian said, i think its something to do with newbies trying to 'test' cp's forums. Kannan

I wonder if it would help the newbies if they didn't see the [Modify] and [Delete] links at the bottom of every message, but only for the messages they actually wrote. Here are some possible reasons that come to mind as to why Chris didn't program the forums this way: 1. He didn't think of it. 2. He thought of it but hasn't gotten around to it -- after all, snowboarding is a lot more fun. :-) 3. He thought it would add unnecessary overhead to the already overburdened server code. Although I would think something like this wouldn't be too bad:
if message.author.id = loggedInUser.id then
Add the Modify and Delete links to the message
end if4. He wanted to keep every message looking consistent. 5. He thought those extra links would cause newbies to increase CP's traffic, thereby making the site more attractive for advertisers. 6. .... :-) Regards, Alvaro
