I like the new Thread listing, but there are a few problems which I'm sure you're probably aware of.
1) If you have a long thread selected, and it extends onto the next page. You have to click to the next page, select the next thread, then go back to the previous page to read the first post. If selection of a new thread would move the first message off the current page, you should move to that page.
2) If there are new messages in a thread, there is no way to tell if the first message is not new. The "new" icon should appear if there are any new messages, not just the first one.
Also, you should add an automatic "signature seperator" to messages so we know what's a sig and what's not. The traditional seperator is two dashes (--).

It would be really cool if people can upload their photo to CP which will be displayed in the user profiles.

But then you'd have the idiots out there uploading pr0n or junk like goatse.cx to their profiles.

Funny you should mention this - Mike Dunn and I have just been talking about this.
I like the idea but don't want to have to police it.

You can minimize the problem that you and Mike are talking about by:
- Allowing only a fixed format to be uploaded, e.g. 100x100 JPG.
- Putting a link to the photo instead of a thumbnail. That way the viewer will have to explicitly click on the photo, which means that you can put a small disclaimer at the bottom of the page warning of potential explicit content.
- Create an email address (which you should already have) abuse@codeproject.com, which you can display at the bottom of the photo. That way users will be able to report porn/goats immediately.
- Have the feature running for a trial period, and see how it goes. If you notice abuse, remove the feature.
It really sucks that you have to moderate the content on CP. IMO you should let the users report offensive content, and then act upon those reports rather than have to moderate everything. To safegaurd yourselves you should also speak to a lawyer to see what kind of disclaimer texts you should add to avoid lawsuits should someone decide to pick on you.
Its a pity to see functionality decrease because of the few people who abuse (I'm sure that many other ideas/features have been dismissed due to fear of abuse). However, you know best. I'm confident that you know what you're doing.

It might be a good idea to make a sort of mailing list of the forums. Basically each new message posted will be emailed to subscribers, similar to how it is now when someone replies to your message, but for all messages.
Just an idea.

The time and date for the threads are a bit confusing.
How can someone figure out what time of day the posting was done, if they don't know
what timezone the web-server is in??
How about calculating all the time/date to local time/date for the client accessing the pages.
Or adding a line wich states what timezone the server is using, and maybe the current
time on the server?

I'm very new to The Code Project and I must say this is an excellent site! I was going to submit a link to a site that I did not find on here but realized that there is no place to submit just a link. I work with an online group creating a DirectX Game wrapper (no it's not what you think, keep reading) and wanted to submit a link so others can enjoy it as much as I have for the last 5 years. It's called CDX. It's a class wrapper for DX7/3 to make 2D games. There is talk of a 3D library but most of us just want to make "classic" 2D style arcade games  Is there a way (other than what I'm doing right now) to submit a link to our site? All source code is provided free of course and I have learned more about DX than any other source from working on CDX. Oh, almost forgot the link, it's http://www.cdxlib.com/ Do enjoy

You are welcome....
I promise to visit that site. I'm working in a project with DirectX.
Thanks.

Hi Chris,
I found some time to test my proposal to fix the problem, but could only do that on my IE 5.01 - it seems it works though!

This is just a sample taken somewhere: I added HEIGHT="100%" in the nested TABLE, an it happily filled with white the entire row height.

Thanks Paolo!
I tested it on IE6 but it didn't fix it

I'm really disappointed  , but I would say that I expected it.
I tried another solution: extend the nested TABLE to all the row, moving the outer columns inside it. But I found it difficult to set the right column's width for all the columns.
It's not that easy... I have to remember this if they ask me to web-design something

Sounds like you are pretty much at the point I got to.
There is an extremely simple, neat and efficient way of fixing it. Just can't think of it at the moment.

Hi Chris,
It seems like you've fixed it... or, at least, I see John's posts are ok now (see http://www.codeproject.com/lounge.asp?forumid=1159&select=71904#xx71904xx)
If that works on IE6 too, how did you do that?
I looked at the source HTML, but didn't notice any change.
Interestingly enough, if I load the page in FrontPage 2000 it doesn't show correctly in the embedded preview window.
Please explain this little mystery 
Cheers,
Paolo

Andrew Peace was playing around and nailed it for IE (only). Just rearranged the table formatting and removed an embedded table. IE is the only browser that treats cell widths correctly (or at least, intuitively) Opera and Netscape make a mess of it, so they use the old HTML formatting.

Hi,
VC++ forum is very hot and question post last night becomes 3 or 4 pages away tonight.
How about dividing that forum into 2 or 3, categorizing MFC, Win32... I don't have good idea for that. Do you guys have some nice one?
I love Code Project, do you?

Ya certainly nice one.
I am also thinking about that...
Please do something....

Although this is a problem, I think you'll find the vast bulk of the questions are MFC questions, so it won't help. I know I am not the only one who every morning goes through from the top answering questions until they recognise one, and by the time I get up most of the questions have been asked and answered. I really only see it as a problem for anonymous posters, because they don't get an email reply. My opinion of anonymous posters is fairly well known, I would have thought.
I admit it would be nicer to split them, but the thing is, it wouldn't really help much. A COM section might, assuming we do not have one, but a Win32 or WTL one would be pretty dead, I think.
