It would be nice if there was an "Updated" column in the "My Bookmarks" (and maybe "My Articles") page.

Since My Last One Got Voted Down
I don't know why your last idea got voted down. It seemed quite sensible to me.
Do you want to know more?

Thanks. The universe is not against me then. Too bad there's no way to tell who voted on what. Hint, hint. Also, any reason why my previous suggestion turned grey?

Well I voted against the idea because I like the current order.

Personally, I hate change too. But laziness is a big change-maker. Dilemmas, dilemmas.

If you did the list in alphabetical order, then Visual Basic would appear before the Visual C++ forum and we don't want to encourage that sort of thing

I liked both your ideas. The reason for the low votes on the previous suggestion may have been that suggestion's "You really need to" as opposed to this one's "It would be nice".

Doh! You're absolutely |right|. I didn't pick up on that even though I've read my original posts every time I've read somebody else's reply. Shame on me for that.

Chris,
You really need to sort <It would be nice if> the forums drop-down list <was sorted> alphanumerically. Makes it easier than reading each one to find the forum of interest.

Let me say one example first. MSN messenger will give a small notification when we recive new mails.
Like wise i would like to recive instant mails through CP to my mailbox. That is if somebody post a new thread on any of my favorite discussion section. Say C# or VC++.
This favorite discussion section must be customizable through My Settings link in CP.
So we can provide instant help to the users. This is not at all new to any discussion board.

When you use <PRE> tags to wrap code blocks in messages, the stylesheet used to display the code removes all blank lines, which in many cases makes the code sample difficult to follow because you lose the "break" between natural logical process sets.
Can we fix this, please? It should only be a minor tweak to one stylesheet entry.
Example below, there should be a blank line before each comment:
int c
c = A + B
return c
Grim (aka Toby) MCDBA, MCSD, MCP+SB
SELECT * FROM user WHERE clue IS NOT NULL
GO
(0 row(s) affected)

Looks fine to me (in FireFox).
If i remember right, this is an IE bug - just do like the rest of us, and throw a space in with each blank line while silently cursing Microsoft.

I experience frequent errors when brwsign CP ("formatted" error page, Error code seems always to be 0)
It always seems to happen when the browser tries to fetch a page with an ad, the final URL is usually http://www.codeproject.com/info/error500.asp?500;http://www.codeproject.com/script/comments/fetchAd.asp or similar
Response times are good to great, occurence is sporadic - it might work half a second later, or it might fail for three clicks.

I've effectively disabled fetchad and am working to find out what and why the thing is playing up.
<Edit>
Cause found. It's none other than a high load issue that is causing servers to cycle. They do that in the traditional ASP way whereby the ASP process crashes and our health monitor detects and restarts. Yes, we're moving to IIS 6 as soon as we can. What we've done is turn off IP affinity in our load balancing which means when you view one page on one server things are fine, but the next page view may take you to a server that has just crashed/cycled, meaning it looks all bad. Also, when you click on a message in the forums and the ads refresh, the ad refresh itself might be served from a server that's just cycled (or about to) so it, again, looks all bad.
Normally cycling is done very quickly and servers crashing are usually rare. However, over the weekend we unplugged one of our bottlenecks and so were able to increase bandwidth and hence load. The flip side is that we've almost instantly run up against a new bottleneck, causing the problems. We've tightened up bandwidth a little in the hope that a balance will be restored.
</Edit>
cheers,
Chris Maunder

Guy A posts a message, B anwers him/her. A gets notified thru' e-mail.
C answers B, B gets notified but A doesn't.
Doesn't it make sense to notify A as well, while all of them are in the same hierarchy?

Where we will be going. . ." chris de burg

In some cases this would be good, but think what happens when you start a post, and then somebody else replies with something mostly unrelated, which gets lots of replies that are totally unrelated to your original post - you'd get dozens of emails all telling you about posts that don't interest you at all

There are many more cases where this is an annoyance, than where it is helpful.
If at all, this should be a separate feature: "watch this thread: subscribe/unsubscribe". However, there are no recent threads I can remember where this would have been useful. This requires additional data to be stored, and in a busy thread, each reply could generate hundreds of e-mails.

Then how about getting replies for only three to five roots down. This way, if a person keeps replying he skips a message, but answers the next one, he'll get as much replies as he answers plus five.
Chris could also set it up that for each message you post, you can have a checkmark that allows you to get all replies to what you've posted.
