www.many-monkeys.comPS user(s) 1000000 and 1000001 both seem to have blank names. Odd! In fact quite a few do.

same thing happened to me i registered a new account when only 5 where left for 100000 but my id was 1000498 :eek: C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot; C++ makes it harder, but when you do, it blows away your whole leg
Well it didn't happen to me - I am user 212 (an oldie) I was just hoping to welcome the member etc

www.many-monkeys.comProbably deleted user's ids don't get recovered. So there are 1,000,000 users currently registered although over the years since Code Project has been available a small number have removed themselves - or been removed ("US Marine" springs to mind as a reacent example)

I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." --Charles Babbage (1791-1871)

maybe - but how do they determine the 1000000th member - also those empty registrations are more confusing and there do seem to be a lot of 'em

Why did you register another account? As far as I can see you already registered about two years ago. Did you want to get the CodeProject chocolates, which Chris has announced in his last newsletter? ;P Regards Thomas
