Instead of having your current forum name listed in red, can you make it red AND a link. IMHO it is easier for me to click on that than to find the "show all threads" link.

Sure, it is a stupid little point, but since having it also be a link shouldn't hurt anything, I really can't think of a reason not to do it since it would make moving around a tiny bit easier.

I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document? Well, to tell you the truth I kinda forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

I was about to suggest this last night, but then I got fed up at some code and went to bed :-P

Very good suggestion Tim. I've always thought that having to click [view all threads] was kinda weird.

Chris,
I may be wrong here but I believe you have the wording reversed in regards to the comment count in the message board. For example, you have listed in Visual C++ (right now) as (36796/36803), but the verbiage below shows (Total Comments/New Comments). How is it possible to have more new comments(36803) than the total(36796)? Should it not be listed as (New Comments/Total Comments)?

Seems ok to me.

The Visual C++ forum has (36806/2) which is correct, as there are two new messages.

Are you logged in? What do you have your messages since set to ?

Are you using DHMTL view?

I was logged on, however I was up on campus this morning when I saw it. It does appear to view fine now that I am back at home. I did see however, I am not delusional. Smile | :)

No you didn't. Repeat after me: I saw nothing wrong. Everything was fine. Chris didn't quickly resynch the forum message counts... Wink | ;)

Ok....I back on campus here this morning and I am seeing the same thing. Last night everything was fine, I am starting to think that this Statistics class is really getting to me. Dead | X|

But really, I am logged on and the count appears really strange, but out at work and at home everything is fine. Oh well, I will just let this go to the way side. Thanks Chris

Auto hyper-linking

Chris...I thought it'd be a great idea to have some auto hyperlinking built in for the message posts.

You know like ICQ when you type www. it automatically hypers the link...?

IMO...this would be awesome and prevent annoying copy and paste...

Have a day!!! Smile | :)

If I post my list of 150+ ideas and suggestions then it means:

- you won't be surprised when they are added
- there will be arguments as to which features should
be implemented first
- there will be Frown | :(

if some of them don't get implemented
due to time or other constraints

I prefer to surprise you all Wink | ;)

There is a database error occuring if someone isn't signed in and they try to view the Who's Who page.

No idea, the error page just says

Load up the general Who's Who page via the link on the left side. I find that viewing a specific person works.
