If you have any questions about the moderation on Web Applications, please post a question on meta or chat. Any other attempts at communication will be ignored.

I've been a software developer for nearly 30 years in one form or another. I learnt Pascal at University and my first job was programming in Fortran 66. I've since moved to C# & .NET via Ada, C and C++.

Over the last few years my work has been developing web applications and most recently Silverlight applications.

One of these days I'm going to get round to these books on my Amazon Wish List

The problem is not that Facebook is blocking Pidgin as such, but it's blocking your attempts to login via Pidgin because you told it not to authorise the login.

comment How do I do a Redo after Undo (Ctrl+Z) in Twitter's tweet compose box?
I've just tried this in Chrome under Windows 7 and Ctrl+Y works as expected. I suspect this is a browser or even OS issue. Can you use Ctrl+Y on other text boxes on other sites?

comment How can I delete my Facebook posts from an open group?
Please type whole words. The length limit on posts is 30,000 characters not 140. Using text speak makes your posts hard to understand.

The linked question is not quite a duplicate. That one is just about what happens to the account, this one is about accessing the account.

@Theta30 - leaving a comment is good, as would down-voting if the answer is now wrong or unhelpful.

comment How do I know whether there is duplicate content of my website somewhere else?
I've removed the link to the site as it makes the question very spammy. Without the link it's OK.

comment How to find out who shared a page on Google Plus?
If you can give the same answer to two different questions it's an indication they're duplicates. In that case please flag one of the questions as a possible duplicate of the other rather than answering.
