Hmm. Still trying to get to the bottom of this one.

I think, the reason you do not see the link,
is because you do not have any article recomendations.
The feature is still under development. Stay tune.

Eh? I have over a page of article recommendations (which do show up), and a small but growing collection of forum message bookmarks (which do not!).
Er, but i did mean forum message recommendations, not forum recommendations. I'd forgotten that it was possible to recommend forums; either way, i don't particularly care about those. The message recommendations i'd expect to work though.
Along those lines: author names in forum message recommendations link to the author's article list rather than their bio or message list; i did not expect that.

Works fine for me here.
Are you logged in?
If yes, all your bookmarks (both recommended and not) will appear.

UUps. Added to bug list. Thanks for reporting

Ah... Let me be a bit more specific. I can see all of my bookmarks. If i'm not logged in, i can see all of my recommended bookmarks - including forum message bookmarks - by viewing the bookmarks list.
However, if i view my profile page, only recommended article bookmarks are listed in the "Latest Recommendations" section on the right-hand side of the page. Forum message bookmarks do not appear, regardless of whether or not i'm logged in.
To be sure, it's a small matter... but i'd expected recommendations to appear in that list in the order they were recommended, regardless of the specific type of recommendation.

Ok, now I understand what you mean. Again, as I said, this is under development
and will get better soon.

No problem, just noticed it this morning and figured i'd mention it while it was fresh in my mind.

It works fine here.
Can you try again, please.
If it is still not working, let me know, what page exactly you try to open,
and what error messages you get.
Thank you in advance.

I am afraid, it is an IE thing. Same happens to me from time to time with different pages, not only CodeProject related ones
What version of IE you have?
It seems to be a Javascript problem. Added to our bug list for further investigation.
Thanks for reporting.
Can you check it with FireFox?

Elina

Looks like IE might be the problem
Firefox at home works fine...
Thanks

I use IE6 at work. As I said in my earlier message, it works fine for me at home, using FF 2.
Thanks for looking into this.

I've put a workaround in place for IE6. A quick check showed nothing blatently obvious so we'll just disable Google Maps in IE6 for now until we get a chance to do a comprehensive reworking.

Time to thump the servers again...
|

THe Lounge is working for me today, but I'm getting
-- Unable to load messages due to high load or server error. Please try again --
when I try for C# forum.
Just when I got used to this happening only on Tuesdays.

I see the same questions being asked on forums. It occurred to me that if they were added to a FAQ for each forum with the best answers, it would:
1. Reduce the volume of questions in the forums,
2. Avoid wasting peoples' time by repeatedly giving similar answers to the same questions, and
3. Provide a resource where people could get answers without having to compose a question, and wait to see if anyone answers it.
Sometimes I see an interesting question and even more interesting answers, but I don't copy it because I don't have that problem at the time. Later I do have that problem, but the item is months or years old, and hard to find.
It would take a bit more work, but in addition to helping people it would provide another set of pages for codeproject.com to sell advertising space on. After a couple of years, each FAQ could even be published as a book.
Peoples' answers on these forums are a valuable resource, and include wisdom gained from experience that you often can't get in a book!

Sure.
I do have a collection of "standard answers" to FAQ, and occasionally cut and paste
from there, gotten tired of retyping basically the same answer over and over.
In the end we could create an entire wiki, and it could be valuable.
however some people are just lazy, they don't read documentation, don't google,
don't search in CP articles, they just launch a question, good or bad, original or
seen many times before. So whatever great idea you or anyone else comes up with, they will ignore it.
So, while valuable to some, a FAQ would not change much overall, I'm afraid.

Back when i hung out in the C++ forum, there was a C++ / MFC FAQ in the form of an article, written and maintained by Mike Dunn. You're right - the folks that needed it the most didn't read it. But, it was well-written, nicely formatted and indexed, and you could post a link to the proper topic faster than typing up a reply from scratch. Perhaps users thus directed would even hang around long enough to read some of the other FAQ entries, and save everyone a bit of time that way.
:shrug:
I liked it.

Well, CP could give it a try, but like I said I am not overly optimistic.
Now who would manage it? CP staff? a single person? a couple of volunteers?
I am willing to contribute some material.
Mind you, there are some articles that somehow look like a FAQ, such as
this[^]
and this[^]
and this[^].
Problem seems to be, all the info is squattered around, there is a lack of structure right now.

Everyone.
Actually, i'd say anyone >= Silver status just to reduce spam / trolling.

Yup. Build the trellis & watch it grow...

Wow! That's what I had in mind! If this was organized by forum (with a View FAQ link in each forum) it would be easier to find. I didn't know these existed.

Two comments:
1.
I found them searching articles for "tips". You didn't? Doesn't that prove one of
my points?
2.
Organizing FAQ per forum, I'm not sure that is a great idea. I am not particularly fond
of the forum partitioning, a lot of issues could belong in several forums. Quite
often the issue is "I am using such language, and I don't know what classes are
available". Now where should these issues be handled? I think I would prefer having
a single wiki, over a lot of FAQs.
Anyway, most problems could be solved by:
- people willing to search
- good search facilities, which, I am sorry to say, this site does not have.
