*That* would be fun, not. LOL, I can just imagine the cookie handling code that would manage to do that and how big the cookies would get after awhile (you would have to keep track of every single post read, and I read a lot of posts everyday.) Not too mention the client-side load that would put on the client (scripting languages in general are not very performance orientated.)
Of course you could do it on the server-side, but then that means some new tables in the CP database and blam, there goes all the extra scalability Chris has eeked out of the code already.
I think most of us would prefer to keep the forums as they are if that means the performance stays as it is. While this feature you mention is cool, it would throw performance out the window and we would all start moaning

It would be kind of nasty, but keep in mind that you would only have to keep track of the posts that have been read up until the time they would have naturally fallen off the "new" classification (Perhaps expiring cookies would work for this). That is probably less than 200 posts (probably only gets that high durring a flame war) at any given time.
What do you think?

That is a good point actually. If anyone is up to finding out what manipulating 200 cookies is like, be my guest

Crap, I thought "suggestions" was a way of making other people do work for me.

It's well hidden. Even among the people who know it exists seldom remember how to get to it. Use this knowledge wisely...

Sounds like "...beware of the darkside...." should be coming out of your mouth right after this statement.

That's an intersting thought, maybe we should talk to Chris and see if he likes the idea of changing the name of Member since to something like "Dark Shadowy Bob-like Thing years"?

People should be allowed to vote on ages. Like you can vote +1 if you think the fellow should be one yr older or -1 if you want to make him younger etc...
Allowed votes are +2, +1, -1, -2
Like the idea???

When browsing the forums, I occasionally see two identical topics posted accidentally, usually by pressing the Submit button more than once.
To prevent this, I suggest that after the user pushes the Submit button, that the button be disabled and that the user is notified that the post is being submitted.

I think the problem is caused often by some sort of delay.
I have posted then recieved a server error,
Next I have hit the Back button and gone back,
And then I have submitted again.
The second post appears to get logged first ??

You are the intrepid one, always willing to leap into the fray! A serious character flaw, I might add, but entertaining.

It shouldn't actually be possible to post two exact posts. The DB is checked before a posting is made to avoid these things.
If you see a post that is duplicate then can you send me a link?

This forum is for suggestions and feedback on the CodeProject site. For a Flash/C++ comparison you might want to use the General Discussions forum.
