As in subject!
I get notification emails when someone replies to a forum post but not when someone comments on the article.

I think they were due to timeouts or bugs. Seen any recently?

After reading (I think it was) Marc's comment about having profile redirects such as http://www.codeproject.com/profile/1796977 I was thinking about the "feature" I've been wanting for a long time, having "proper" urls for the forums such as ~/forums/csharp.aspx redirects to the C# forum.
Also this would help search engines such as Google because they (often?) ignore the query string completely so they can't differentiate very easily between different forums.
I've taken the liberty of putting together some urlMappings since presumably you have a web.config file in which you can use these.
Here it is: urlMappings.xml[^]

Not a bad idea (and thanks!) but aren't they ignored if you have query strings or even #'s appended?

What in the search engine or in the urlMappings? I'm pretty sure that they're not ignored by ASP.NET because I (think) I used a similar thing in a project I did a while ago.
Regarding search engines they ignore the query string from what I understand (well most of the time) so they can't tell the difference between the C# and the VB.NET ( ) forums because it's simply a parameter. However if you have the C# as ~/forums/csharp.aspx and VB as ~/forums/vb.aspx although they're mapped with query strings internally the engines can find out the difference.
So for example if you were searching for a problem in VB on the CodeProject forums in Google it would hopefully return the vb.aspx results first rather than references to VB in the C# forums.
If that made any sense at all...

I've noticed that at the article forum, if someone posts, I don't get an email notification. For the first one, after I reply and they reply to my reply its fine after that.
PS.
I've previously posted this in the lounge. I didn't want to delete the post from there as to not break anything, though I did change the menu. Sorry.

1) Page count is incorrect ("Visual C++ / MFC forum"):
When set the Date Filter to "Last Day", the page count at bottom-right corner displays
1, 2, 3, 4 But actually there are 5 pages if I click the Next link at top-right corner.
2) Missing post when Date Filter is applied ("Visual C++ / MFC forum"):
The homepage of CodeProject displays a newest reply (Datetime= 2 hr 26 min ago (aka: 2008-01-08 13:34 GMT+8), Poster= "Eranga Thennakoon", Title= "Quite similer application", URL= http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/View.aspx?fid=1647&msg=2381673). The Date Filter is set "Last Day", but this post is not displayed.

Taking this moment as an example, when the date filter is "Last Day", there is only one single page in "Suggestions and Bug Reports forum" because the message count is less then 50 (my setting value). And when I change the filter to "Last Week", the page amount becomes three because there are more than 100 and less than 150 messages within the period. In another words, the page count is based on how many messages within a specific timespan range.
When the counter is correct and it reaches the last page, the link [Next] would not show up. But when the counter is incorrect, when it reaches the last page (for example 4th), the [Next] link is still valid. And when [Next] is clicked and it jumps to the "5th" page, the [Next] link is gone and the page count at bottom-right still shows [1 2 3 4] (actually I am on Page 5th but there is not a "disabled" 5 on the list).

The page counter has its maximum values to show. It is used to allow you to jump from page to page, but within the certain range.
So, if there are actually 10 pages, the page counter will move to, say, next 4 pages after you will get to page 5.
Hope, you understood what I mean

Elina

OK, I think that I figured it out. Let's say I see this (underline meaning hyperlink-enabled) :
1 2 3 Next >> Which means there are 4 pages within the range. When I am on Page 3rd, it displays as:
<< Prev 1 2 3 Next >> Then I move on to Page 4th, and it shows:
<< Prev1 2 3 Note that the Next >> is gone!

But it is asymmetric regarding to the head case (Page 1st) and the tail case (Page the last).

Both of these provide me with the same issue, namely it appears to have done nothing (and places you on the first page of the forum, say The Lounge), then if I click "Next" I get taken straight to my post (either the one I just posted, or the one I clicked on from my user messages in my profile), regardless of how many pages in it is...
Yes, I have also been receiving the "site logs me out" issue also, but haven't been onsite here since you updated your post (until today), so will let you know tomorrow if it logs me out again...
Here I'm using XP and IE6. (Don't laugh, some businesses still use these.)

Fairly self-explanatory I think, the top post there is now at least 10 threads down.

I think the homepage is cached for a little long duration for server load issues. They may restore it after visiting other acute issues with server performance.
