What I really wish see in this box is "My Latest Posts" in all forums. By example, I posted in the SoapBox, Lounge, Suggestion Forums. Then these posts must appear in the box "My Latest Posts". This really will greatly improve my life in the CP

Hi Chris,
This is sort of a repost, (PJ Arends had same problem a few weeks ago). I'm also not receiving any e-mails from CP (since a long time). Are you still on the black lists?
Thanks,
Wout

I second the repost, I'm only getting roughly 1 in 5 responses to posts.
I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:

We go on and off them, depending on whether people decide to report us for spam or click the "unsubscribe me" link at the bottom of the newsletters to which they opted in for.
The unaccountability of the web is a double-edged sword.

What is the minimum threshold for a snippet to get an expand/collapse button?
|
|
|
|
|
Just what I was wondering because I was taking a look through some articles and only some of the snippets are minimisable.
As of how to accomplish this I wouldn't have a clue at the moment and I'm too lazy to google it

About this much (holding my hands apart a few inches)
I'm actually not too happy with performance and may move the code to server side as part of the code snippet colorisation. It will be more accurate then.

it looks cool, but it is useless, one of the only reason to look at some article is to look at the code, and either manually hiding or showing some code will be annoying.

Would it be possible to add a little box on the top of the coding forums to display the top five or so, unanswered questions?
Thanks

That was added a few weeks ago, it's stuck in the middle of the forum listings and the forum it self. [exp] View unanswered questions in the Visual C++ / MFC forum[^][/exp]
Unless you means something differnt in which case, sorry about that...

I think he meant something along the lines of the new box in the Lounge where it lists the last five messages in each category. Except this one would list the last 5 unanswered questions.

Ah, Having the ability to look at the last 50 or so is good enough for me.

Me too, if only there was a filter for all the c**p messages people post in the middle, HELLP ME PLZ .
Like your sig too by the way.

There is already a way, dont look at them, when I start getting annoyed with poeple I stop looking through the message boards unless Im looking for answer for my own question. Funny often enough I can normally find the simple stuff with a quick search. no need to post.

Not enough processing power in my brain to do that, it requires too much effort.

I was sort of thinking of something like the one in the lounge, but that unanswered questions list will work fine. (I didn't know it already existed)
Thanks

A few days ago I asked a question about why update for my article XSuperTooltip was not appearing in "Last 10 Updates" list. Chris replied that this was done to eliminate bogus updates, by people wanting their articles to stay on list longer.
I understand this policy, but I think the way it's been implemented has an unfortunate side-effect: there is no mention of an update in article header (stuff at top of each article page), which means that if people use header info to determine if they have latest source, they will be misled sometimes. (I always include a "History" section at end of my articles, but I think many people do not scroll down to see).
So, I request that you change implementation so that article header always shows update date, regardless of whether it's on "Last 10" list.
Best wishes,
Hans

No, it doesn't - look at this article, and you will see a posted date of 31 Jul 2006. However, I updated this article on 4 Aug 2006 - within the one-week "no update" period (to verify this, scroll down to the "Revision History" section). Therefore, the article header was not updated with an "Updated" date, because of the way the update policy is currently implemented.

For me, it does show up when MFC/C++ is selected, and also when All Topics is selected.

Ah, he did that so fast that by the time I checked it, it was already fixed.

Hello
Some time ago I posted an article using the submission wizard -which is a great tool by the way-. I have a few notes:
1- I uploaded a source. Then updated the source -before the article was editted-, and I used the submission wizard again to update the article. When I uploaded the new source file with the same name as the old the script kept giving me errors till I had to upload it with a different name. Later on I wanted to delete the old files only to be surprised that I can't Why not adding the delet option of files rather than letting them there until the editting?
2- When my article was editted some phrases were removed from it. That got me frusterated. Yes they were unrelated to the subject but they weren't inappropriate. I think the editting concept itself -Letting others change what I wrote the way they see fit-, is a bit disturbing, don't you think? I like to have my article uploaded with the wizard, and if any reader find anything in appropriate in it they should report it with the link!!
3- After the editting my article it can't be accessed by the wizard. Again it's bothering.
The bottom line, why not making article submission like web hosting?? You are hosting a page where the author show some content. Sure you'll put that page in the section you see fit. Also you'd remove any article you see inappropriate. Yet the author may have the write to directly upload to and/or edit his article without having to send it via email -which takes a LOT more time and effort-.
This would make article editting more like the forums. Still you will have more control on articles' content than you do on forums' content.
BTW:
Who edits your article??
Regards
