If all else, you could just give James Pullicino a special shout out on April 22nd, I assume this is whom the feature is for
Build a man a fire, and he will be warm for a day
Light a man on fire, and he will be warm for the rest of his life!

How about happy birthdays for users that are active. I.e. post a lot etc. This will cut down the list to display quite a bit.
But you have to have it in by May 16th
Also, is it possible to look at peoples birthdays for a specific date? Or only the current date +- 2 days?

Is anybody really interested whose birthday it is?
Those people who want to shout about their birthday tend to do so in the lounge or rant and rave.
The front page is already crowded without adding more stuff (unless it was optional then I don't see a problem apart from increased server load)

Please cam you add :eak: to the list of codes for the  emoticon? I don't know about Austrailia, but in Britian we use eak.

Do we? News to me, never seen it spelt like that in 30 years.

That's how we always used to spell it at school, though it was almost exclusively spelt with a big E, e.g...
Eak!
... rather than ...
Eek!
Which to me looks more like a shortened form of Heck in that form.

Do you know if there's a problem submitting an article by the submission wizard and by mail simultaneously?

Apart from confusing me, no. If you mail me a submission then post it using the wizard then just let me know so I can take it off the queue.

Chris, what about a forum where I can submit code/design diagrams/specs for a CP peer review?
That'll be really awesome, also don't know of any other site that does this.

Just an idea for convenience in the forums,
Would it be possible when someone included a link like
http://www.vmtu.com to have it automatically converted to
[link in new window]
As I'm always having to type in the anchor tag stuff by hand.

Good suggestion! I keep forgetting how to force that, so I've been using the View/Source option to look at the raw html. Now I've just discovered that I can't do that! The Source option is greyed out on the View menu
I didn't change anything - did Chris?

 Must be something on your end, it works fine for me.
And BTW the "new window" is done by putting target="_blank" in the <a> tag.

It was just IE screwing up again - nothing new. Restarting it restored the option.

Check that you have a default HTML editor in your Internet Options-> Programs dialog.
I have had this get mucked up before by adding webbands etc.

I've suggested this before. It *would* be very useful but I'm sure that its quite complicated to do. Have you looked into it Chris? If you have problems implementing it there are many people willing to help

It's really, really simple for me to implement if someone can spend the time to work out the regular expression to use that will trap URL's. Basically it will have to match
[http://|https://]aaa.bbb[.ccc[...[zzz]]][/path_1/.../path_n]/file.[xyz][?...]
where stuff in []'s is optional, and | = or. Matching http://www.xyz.com/dir/file.asp is simple and the querystring on the end is a slight inconvenience. The final piece of the puzzle is that the expression needs to take into account whether or not the URL found is already wrapped in a <a href...> tag.
For me, writing regular expressions is as fun as a dentist's appointment. 
cheers,
Chris Maunder

How do you do regular expressions in ASP?

A regexp to match the URL format would be pretty easy, methinks. As long as you don't care about pulling out each part between slashes, which you don't in this case.
https?://[a-zA-Z0-9-\.]+(/[^/\s]*)*
That's Perl syntax, so just shout if it's unfamiliar The only drawback I see is that that regexp allows something like http://www.foo.com/path/// with consecutive slashes, which isn't a valid URL, but hopefully that's not a showstopper.

Hello Chris M
Here is a new suggestion for the demographics page.
Top 10 thread starters. So we know who has started most number of threads.
Warm regards
