    Hello Chris Maunder can you tell me why vasily tserekh account have been closed if HE didnt published any offensive material, you shouldn have an account automatically closed for just 5 reports of spam or abusive, if so anyone with 5 differents accounts will be able to take out any codeprojject account

      The irony. Chris should have posted his issue in QA, but now you go drive traffic to CP's competition.

        The account was closed because of the trolling going on in the Lounge. I'm happy to reopen that account if the member concerned agrees to show a little more consideration.

          Why would I post a rant in QA? Working around the issue is easy. Finding willing and eager sets of ears to hear my ranting is harder. Guys? Guys?? Where'd everyone go... :sigh:

              Hahaha, I know I know. I was joking that it fell into the experienced cp'ian posts a thinly veiled tech question in the Lounge veiled so as to save face. I know it wasn't a question because the work around is simple. I was just giving you a hard time like I do to everyone else, and they do to me.

                It's days like this I need a white, long haired cat sitting on my lap while while my finger hovers over a large red button on the arm of my tall-backed leather chair in my command post in the depths of an extinct volcanic hideaway. sigh...

                      I'm sending out an HTML email with the following:

                      <img style="width:628px;height:7px" alt="" src="http://www.codeproject.com/images/image.png">

                      Fairly standard. Except that GMail renders it as

                      <img style="width:628px;min-height:7px" alt="" src="http://www.codeproject.com/images/image.png">

                      So instead of showing the image 7px high, it shows it "at least" 7px high, where "at least" has been interpreted to be "11245px". 11,000 pixels. That's slightly more than 7. ARGH! WHY?! ARRRRRRRGH!!

                      Well it all depends on perspective I guess, on a large enough scale 11000 and 7 are more or less the same thing. For example, if the scale was 1 to a googol... ;P

                                        Yes but you really should have posted on the Moderators rants forums which is much more appropriate. To get there, hold shift+m while clicking the lounge button.

I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost

                                          I'm sending out an HTML email with the following:

                                          <img style="width:628px;height:7px" alt="" src="http://www.codeproject.com/images/image.png">

                                          Fairly standard. Except that GMail renders it as

                                          <img style="width:628px;min-height:7px" alt="" src="http://www.codeproject.com/images/image.png">

                                          So instead of showing the image 7px high, it shows it "at least" 7px high, where "at least" has been interpreted to be "11245px". 11,000 pixels. That's slightly more than 7. ARGH! WHY?! ARRRRRRRGH!!

                                          Chris, I just wanted you to know I logged onto CP just to post this response in regards to your dilemma; which shows you just how much I care. All that said, I'd just like to say: HA HA.
