the lounge Bernhard30-Apr-02 0:13 Bernhard 30-Apr-02 0:13  if you are in the lounge there is the "programming question? try our forums" little thing.. the rant and rave is called rant and rave in this combobox and not "the soapbox".. just a little thing.. right now it is perfectly logical for everyone.. but in 6 month? "I'm from the South Bronx, and I don't care what you say: those cows look dangerous." U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell at George Bush's ranch in Texas Latest Popular Articles 30-Apr-02 0:01 30-Apr-02 0:01  Hi, I think an article having a grand total of 4.89/5 from 84 users, is more popular than on having 5/5 from 6 users. Why not taking the # of voters in to account also? (84 * 4.89 > 6 * 5) Were talking about "popular" aren't we? Bye, Geert Re: Latest Popular Articles 30-Apr-02 0:11 30-Apr-02 0:11  My formula is wrong: If 100 voters give an article a 1 that means it's a bad article. And surely not better/more popular than one getting a 4 of 10 users. But, my suggestion isn't wrong: Somewhere there must be a formula to express that 4.89/5 from 84 voters is more popular that 5/5 from a couple of voters. Anyone a suggestion? (Because I think that's what you need to implement it, isn't it Chris?) Bye, Geert. Re: Latest Popular Articles Mark A30-Apr-02 11:10 Mark A 30-Apr-02 11:10  Many people have thier own methods of rating articles. Some of them seem well done but have a very low score. Trying to modify the current formula doesnt seem worth it imho. Especially when people are voting a 1 on certain articles just to bump thier own in the grand scheme of things. Just my 2 cp and a cup of mojo. Mark A Re: Latest Popular Articles Ravi Bhavnani30-Apr-02 11:22 Ravi Bhavnani 30-Apr-02 11:22  Unfortunately, using the # responses to weight the rating only works when you have 2 articles of the same rating. But I agree that an article that's been rated 5 by a just a few users is unlikely to be more popular than one rated less than 5 by many more users. /ravi "There is always one more bug..." http://www.ravib.com ravib@ravib.com Newsletter -Dy29-Apr-02 1:41 -Dy 29-Apr-02 1:41  Would it be possible to have the weekly polls results in the newsletter? Every week I take part in the poll, and then forget to go back latter on to see how other people have answered... Dylan Kenneally London,UK Re: Newsletter Chris Maunder29-Apr-02 15:04 Chris Maunder 29-Apr-02 15:04  You got this request in *just* in time cheers, Chris Maunder The Lounge Roger Allen29-Apr-02 0:32 Roger Allen 29-Apr-02 0:32  Although the lounge is a great place, is it possible to add a link to it in the discussion boards page, and also at the top of any other board your viewing in the same format as ther others, like The Lounge (136000/3), showing how many new posts there are? This would bring this one board in line with all the rest and make CP have a more consistent user interface across the board(s). Roger Allen Sonork 100.10016 If I had a quote, it would be a very good one. Re: The Lounge Shog929-Apr-02 4:32 Shog9 29-Apr-02 4:32  This won't quite meet your needs, but what i've done is added this link to my links toolbar. This way at least i see post counts for the other forums while in the lounge. -------- all the modern things have always existed they've just been waiting to come out and multiply and take over Björk, The Modern Things Annoyance turns to gratification :-) Nish Nishant27-Apr-02 16:49 Nish Nishant 27-Apr-02 16:49  Thanks for the new feature Chris, where the forum sorts itself in such a manner, so that the post you reply to is shown on screen. This is such a brilliantly beautiful feature for threads with more than 25 posts. Now we go straight to the post in question. Good idea and excellently executed. I know this is the "Suggestions" forum, but I had to post it here as I didn't find a "Thank You" forum anywhere Nish The rumours that I am an AI bot are absolutely false. These rumours have been propogated by *them* to focus all the attention on to me, while *their* bots take over the planet. Thank y%%%% Divide by zero. Cannot proceed. Abort(y/y)?

(-_-) MC++ board Tom Archer27-Apr-02 12:19 Tom Archer 27-Apr-02 12:19  Is this still a possibility. It seeemed as though the majority of people who responded to the thread asking about were in favor of it.

We don't want someone coming and asking about MFC or ATL or WTL. Only Managed .NET based C++ questions Nish The rumours that I am an AI bot are absolutely false.

Re: MC++ board James T. Johnson27-Apr-02 15:02 James T.

Forum sorting James T. Johnson26-Apr-02 20:28 James T.

If it is a hassle to implement, don't bother I'd rather see CP.NET James Simplicity Rules! Re: Forum sorting Nish Nishant27-Apr-02 2:02 Nish Nishant 27-Apr-02 2:02  James T. Johnson wrote: How about letting us choose which column of the forums table to base the sorting on when you view the list from the "message boards" link? Right now it sorts on message count I think, which is sorta okay I guess. But since there are only about 12-15 boards, what's the big deal? It's not as if we are on puny 15" monitors huh? We have at least 17 right, all of us? Nish The rumours that I am an AI bot are absolutely false.
