Are you still seeing that? I'm assuming this was probably a weirdness you saw during a site upgrade. I'm not seeing anything more weird than normal

Looks like it stopped.
I'll repost if it re-occurs.
Thanks

A 'random article' button, the idea shamelessly stolen from Wiki. This could allow members to stumble over little gems that they might not have usually seeked out.

That is a random statement.

And good idea!

What exactly would be the seed value for a random statement or the algorithm used?

This has been on the TODO for a while.
When you say "random" do you mean "random" or do you mean "random good one"?

Random good one, please.

Good point. Maybe a Random button as default which is truly random, and then the ability to add filters such as 'rated between 4-5' or 'created in the last 12 months'.

My article on jQuery Mobile has around 60,000 views but you can't find it in any searches on the CodeProject site. My article is: Using jQuery Mobile with MVC and Netduino for Home Automation[^]
I cannot find it by searching by any of the key words: jQuery Mobile, Dan Thyer, MVC
Its funny but another article comes up that I wrote for most of these searches.

It does now.
We had an issue with Search that was fixed Thu evening / Friday. Should be good now.

Definition of the problem and/or opportunity
Giving the practical example: how to move quickly to Lounge posts going one, or two, or N months back? Just clicking the navigational "Next" button gazillion times does not seem practical. Some additional navigational options, allowing to move back in time faster will be nice to have, i.e. going directly to the date, or at least page number.
Potential solution
Some empirical findings indicate that the proposed navigational option should not be that difficult to implement. Just look at the sample web query in the address bar: http://www.codeproject.com/Lounge.aspx?fid=1159&select=4451732&fr=10000#xx0xx[^] That part fr=10000 will move fast to Nov 12th (page 401; exact number likely depends on records per page settings).
Another example: web query http://www.codeproject.com/Lounge.aspx?fid=1159&select=4451732&fr=15000#xx0xx[^] (corresponding to parameter value: fr=15000) will fast move to Oct 12 (page 601).
Conclusion
Not sure about date accuracy, but essential logic works. My suggestion to Chris, Sean and dev folks at CP is to implement this feature (which actually already exists) in a form of GUI navigational control.

Why? It will only bog down the servers even more. Most people won't remember what date they posted anything.
(However, I've always wanted to see the first few Lounge posts)

1. The navigation control(s) may include Date, and/or page number, and or offset rows number as criteria. Other filters may apply.
2. On a separate note: if the post is not worthy to read it twice, then it's probably not worthy to read it at all (with very little exceptions)

I don't understand how you're proposing to implement a UI to select page 5000. A text box input, say?
Regardless, it's a bad idea because a user has no idea, at all, what page a message is on. The only real way to get to a message is via a permalink to that message.

Hi Chris,
1. If my assumption is correct then page num is approx a quotient of that query param (rows offset) and number of records displayed per page (it's drop-down selectable).
2. I would agree that their might be better navigational, or filtering options, for e.g. based on the date of posting. I simply don't know internal details of your site implementation, but it looks like a simple parameterized SQL query can do the job.
3. Permalinks are fine; this suggestion is not a mutex to permalink, but rather a complementary one, useful for e.g. in case someone didn't make a permalink, and now trying to travel back in time to particular POI.
My best,
AB

Hi,
When I report a message, then in my recent reputation history I read:
12 Dec 2012 5:14 PM | 5 Organiser | Report object | Member ...
But I didn't report a member, I reported a message. Is it just me?

I am no longer getting e-mail notifications from responses to my posts in The Lounge. Is this just me or for everyone else, too?
|
|
|
|
|
I set them back in account settings. For some reason it was toggled off.
|
|
|
|
|
I was reluctant to report this.
This [^] screen shot shows I was awarded rep points thrice for answering a question. Was it because the answer was posted on 12/12/12 at 12:12 PM.
Will i get some extra rep points for being honest and reporting this ?

I think you don't will get extra points, but perhaps this would be a good idea:
Date | Points | Event | Item | Date
| 30
| Participant
| Report a bug
| Bug ...
|
If someone reports a bug, he/she will get 30 points.

FTFY
Although I think that doing it could help finding bugs, I also think that members should report them not because of a "prize", but just because it helps to make CP even better than it already is.
Regards.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpfull answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
