This is pretty much the case. I get requests for DirectX,
OpenGL, CAD - you name it.
I'm working on a way to allow us to have boards on as many topics we wish without the splintering problems that typically arise when this is done.
cheers,

Don't forget to patent that solution when you find. It's like the holy grail of web-forums.

If you are going to change things at some point in time, I think a small rearrangement of forums should be considered.
ATL, WTL and STL for instance, should be separated. The only thing STL has in common with ATL and WTL is the T(emplates) and CComEnumOnSTLImpl et al. Perhaps you should consider removing STL from that holy trio and pair it with boost (which is more related to STL and STL to ATL/WTL).

Sweet. Perhaps something like child boards whose threads also appear in the parent? Or an ultra-fast-ultra-flexible forum search? Or super-intelligent cyborg slaves assigned to work for each user while the users themselves are served cool drinks by a fleet of monkey-butlers?

Dude. The Monkey Butlers are patent pending. Back off.

I agree with all of the above.

There's an idea, make a GMail forum and once the invites dry up, the forum can morph into one for Boost! Yeah! [calls over his shoulder] Hey Bianca, I have a job for you!

Even though it is technically wrong, Boost could be added to the WTL/STL/ATL board.

I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

Almost what I was thinking. How about removing STL from the trio, to pair it with boost in a new forum? After all, STL has very little in common with ATL and WTL. ComEnumOnSTLImpl and the fact that they all use templates are the only relations I can think of.

maybe not necessarily a boost forum, but maybe it should have its own section.

Well... it will happen if there are enough articles in it to justify the separate section

I miss a functionality when searching for an article: the capability to sort the results either by ratings or by update dates. IMHO, it would be ultra hyper super cool if this was implemented.

it goes over the menu item, how much items to display per page, the combobox goes through the menu... looks kinda stupid and annoying to pick last items..

This is a known issue.
If you have a browse through the Lounge or the Suggestions forums, you'll probably find the thread where we gave Chris stick about it.
I think the problem got put on the back-burner due to more pressing performance and load-balancing issues.

You left out "much to Bianca's irritation"
Bianca has a whole swag of irritations she gives me grief about without needing to add more to her list. Just ask her how much fun she has using the site's administration features. I think she's used the words 'string' and 'duct tape' reasonably often.
Isn't it always fun when a system that you've built around your own understanding and expectations is suddenly placed in the hands of someone who hasn't the benefit of knowing which bits are safe and which bits are heavily trip wired. They get that 'holding a live snake by the throat' look in their eyes
The crowning moment came a few days ago when we were discussing a feature she needs, and while I was trying to nugget out how to get it to work she rolls off a quick schematic of how it could all work, and blow me down if it wasn't one of the most elegant solutions I'd seen in a while. That's right: our Marketing Manager is architecting the backend infrastructure.

Is it too late to ask for my money back
Actually, its quiet nice that she rolls up her sleeves and gets involved. Very atypical for a marketing person. Usually, its "I've told customer x that we have this feature. We need it by Friday. I'm off to the pub. Bye"

It is caused by a bug in IE. If you view the page using, for example, FireFox the menu correctly appears in front of the drop down combo box.

hi,
What is your openion if code project start a extensive editorial for a perticular section in C# ? Like GDI + ,Remoting etc.

I'm not sure an editorial would be much use. Or did you mean tutorial?

On some NNTP newsgroups, someone regularly compiles or updates a FAQ for group newbies, to avoid the obvious repetative questions. I think the CodeProject forums have been around long enough that there is a strong enough base of questions to be able to create FAQs for each forum.
These could be posted at the top of each forum, perhaps as a link to an article which contains questions, and links to relevant information.
