May be due to heavy traffic the emails are delivered bit late.

Hello
While browsing the articles section you have a javascripted menu to the left which could expand into subtopics for each major language. While browsing the forums or answering someone, sometimes I need to copy a link or directly jump to a subtopic. For example I'm telling him to read the articles in the multimedia section. I'm forced to make a new window, go to the articles section and then expand the menu to the left -in this case General C#-, then copy the link to the multimedia section.
To the top left there is another menu which leads to the main page of each language. Why not expanding it when MouseOver, to include subtopics of each language, so that when I'm replying to someone, and I want to jump -or refer- directly to a subtopic, I don't have to go through all this?
Regards

Well, that's one possibility.
FWIW, BO have their own forums[^] for Crystal Reports. No promises you'll get an answer there, but at least you'll probably find a few people who don't overuse therapy and chemicals in a futile attempt to blot out all memory of CR...

Is there a bug in message board voting (particularly in the Lounge), where a post can get multiple votes from a user or where one vote is recorded as several.
I've seen a lot of posts recently where the number of votes is high compared to the average.
The rating (currently 4.0) and number of votes of "this programming question"[^] seems a little high.
I'll dig out the other "suspect" examples if you need further info

I was wondering about that as well, there are a number of posts with an abnormally high vote count.
I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:

There seem to be lots of users who'd rather create a new thread each time they ask another question, rather than just replying to their existing thread
i.e. "How do I do XYZ?"
"XYZ won't work"
"HELP ME PLS!"
"How do I make XYZ work?"
They either don't think about using their existing thread, or think they're more likely to get an answer if they post again. I'm not sure about the solution to the latter, but it might help if the post window listed a user's last 5 threads in the current forum, and had a "post in existing thread" option, with something red telling them it'd be a good idea if they're asking for clarification on an existing topic.

There are times where usefull information are there in forum replies like in lounge for usefull software and stuff,
It would be nice if that reply or the thread can also be book marked.
I am not sure if anything similar is already available.
Thanks.

Each post has a "get link" link, just bookmark that and you're done
|
|
|
|

yes i am doing that already for posts and articles, but it is specific to only the computer.
If you change or format the computer you loose that info. Since CP allows to bookmark articles and Chris said that there is no limit to bookmarking, so it would be cool to bookmark forum posts as well.

Prakash, actually I asked this long before. I got replies pointing to FireFox + CPHog. I think the feature is there.

Cool! Err...I mean, oops. Looks like it's showing the ALT text instead of the image. Ctrl+F5? maybe?

I've never used this forum before (I normally hang out in the C# forum), so forgive me if this suggestion doesn't belong here...
I suggest CodeProject have an XNA discussion forum (Microsoft's newly released gaming framework/IDE).
I'm going to try to start immersing myself in XNA programming, and I think it would be cool if CP had an XNA-specific discussion forum.
Thanks for listening!

I would be content if we could just get more forums for general categories: Multimedia (for Audio/Video, and 2D & 3D Graphics), Design, UI and Usability, etc.

This is not so much a suggestion as a query. For the last few months I have been having nothing but trouble when browsing CP, I am always having to refresh the page due to a failed load. I realise this problem is unique to me since I live in China, but I was wondering if there is a second server I might try?

Its not unique to you, with the number of users at peak times there are often failures. Just refresh and be patient

Not unique to you, some days you just need to be patient with the site. It’s worth the wait.

I think the great Chinese firewall has a lot to do with this problem. There are hundreds of sites blocked and most others censored. They even have the nerve to check our emails. There is an ongoing fuss with Microsoft and China about this, China wants the right to view our hotmail account, but microsoft are refusing, so every other week hotmail becomes blocked.
Honesty, I have a 4mb connection behaving like 28k (no joke). The only think I am able to browse with no problem are Chinese sites. And just about all of those have embeded viruses, malicious scripts and damned annoying Banners following the mouse around.
I'm now looking for a fast, reliable proxy server which might help me bypass most of this hassle.

I really must check my email more often.
Thanks for the link. I'm using the server now and it seems a little faster (not much) but it may be due to the time being 6am here. I'll give it a try for a few days and see if there are any improvments.
On a side note, every connection outside of China has a speed restriction. Everything from simple email to torrent downloads. I just can't find a way to beat it (

Couldn't be interesting to give a "prize" for the best and the most stupid post on each forum on a monthly/yearly basis?

With the number of stupid posts, how would you wade through it all to pick the most stupid?
