Yes, it probably would be simple to set this up on the new version...and yes, it is actively being worked on but not many new features have been added yet.

That's a good suggestion. But for this immediate purpose of making up a card, can't you use tinyurl?

Putting a tinyurl on a card just seems.... wrong.

I like that. Of course, I'd like to see how you would do my name - what with the apostrophe being an integral part of Irish names and all.
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

As my idea of View Counts was subtley belittled by Chris, I might change my name to M&lc?lm Sm&rt.
But as I have no articles, what difference would it make?

Yes - and that was the whole point. My name's Pete O'Hanlon and not Pete OHanlon, so I get a bit annoyed when people leave out the apostrophe - which would happen with this scheme. And it's not only me - it's the other several million people worldwide who happen to have an apostrophe in their name.

That would be ok too, but having my name in the URL isn't as important. The URL will be on a card that already has my name. Shorter is better here.

How about a view count on messages posted? When I send one of my sidesplitting hilarious wisecracking responses it would be good to know how many people have seen it. I myself read my own posts many times during a day, to bask in the sheer quality of it.
Also, on other websites I am generally drawn to those posts with a high view count. Coupled with the earlier 'solved' option, a message with a high view count, which is still unsolved would give a CPian major kudos if they solved it.
(Which in turn might impress some women, which might mean I get lucky sometime soon.....)

How do you define view? If you are in Message View then is it viewed if it's clicked on (to expand it)? In Expanded View is it viewed if it appears in a page of messages?

I only ever use Message View, so I assumed everybody did things my way (I sound like my wife....).
What you are actually saying, albeit very politely, is that it was a stupid idea....

This is new as of today, correct? I like it, but a few comments:
- The images should give a better indication that they are clickable, it's not obvious that you can click on them.
- There are some sites that are missing that I think would be good additions to the list:
- You might want to consider changing some of the icons to use the ones available here[^] and remove the border. I know the border was to make these look like buttons, but it makes the images look strange (and with item #1 wouldn't be needed).

Made some small tweaks.

I like the tooltip that displays when you mouse over the image, but I think it was better without the site names after each image. I think the site names make it look too busy. I do still think you shouldn't have the border around the images as it looks better, to me at least.

I don't want to assume everyone knows what all the icons mean. It's a tough one.
As to borders: which browser are you using? The images are all set to have border=0 and I'm not seeing any borders on IE or Firefox

Good point. I'm used to seeing them on the blogs I read as well as my own so I didn't think about that.

I'm using IE7, but I think we're talking about two different things. Compare the images you are using to the ones here[^], specifically looking at Google, Digg, and del.icio.us. The ones you are using all have a rounded look to them with a thin dark grey border around the edge.
I think with the change to add the tooltip, you could easily use the icons from that page (which are different in some cases (Google, Digg, Furl, Yahoo, Simpy, and Spurl) than the ones you have) and not loose anything.

Ah, gotcha. I redid the icons - hit Ctrl+F5 and you should see the change.

Hi,
I like to find articles base upon the DotNet Version. So if I want DotNet 3.5 articles, I can check '3.5' by the search box.
This would cut down on time spent looking for things.

This is a good idea, but it shouldn't necessarily be limited to just versions of .NET as it can also apply to versions of MFC and C++.

This has been implemented in the rewrite

Heh I always like that one.
Every time I see it I'm tempted to bring it up, but if I wasn't using CPHog,
the ad bar wouldn't be on the right.
