I was just writing an article, and accidentally pressed some key combo I didn't even know does a back button click. Fine by me, but going back to typing my article (using the forward button of the browser, NOT the next button in the wizard) RESETS THE WHOLE ARTICLE!
All I can do is restart the whole thing.
If only I could use Opera. Because Opera doesn't reload the page even if the server says so. But nooo, the editor doesn't work in Opera. Nice first impression, dudes.

I've updated the pages to trap these kinds of things and to give you a warning before allowing the page to be unloaded and your data lost.

I browse the forums in Thread view normally, but when I click on a post it doesn't display the post that I clicked on. It does display the correct page containing that thread, but then still need to find it, expand it, click replies and then scroll down to the intended post.
I'm also curious why the ratings don't show in members' post list anymore.

This problem is well know to us but none of us can replicate in a development environment. It's driving us insane.
I had Christian essentially go "look! *click* everytime! *click* No hands! *click* eyes closed! *click*
But every time anyone in the office (or even me, safely outside the office at the moment) tries it it works perfectly.

Are you sure you selected "Thread View" for the Layout option?
If you select thread view, and then go to one of the post links such as this: http://www.codeproject.com/Lounge.aspx?msg=2412875#xx2412875xx[^], the target thread does not show expanded. Instead it shows as the 3rd thread, and then when you expand you can scroll down and the post that was linked to originally is highlighted in blue.
Hope this helps - but I realise how these little UI issues are of little consequence compared to keeping the servers running cool hamsters happy.

Hi Chris,
I think you are currently reworking the Hall of Fame pages, here are some suggestions:
- keep all similar awards on one page (40 MVP 2008)
- show flag (or location) for each person
- improve navigation (next on page 4 yiels error page without first/prev buttons);
maybe just add buttons for each page 1/2/3/4
BTW: I think and hope the expiration message is incorrect.

UUps. Famous Cut/Paste error. Will be fixed in the next release.
Thanks for reporting.

We will think about this suggestion.

Hi Elina,
most has been taken care of. thank you.
I am still confused by the expiration messages.
And now I wonder what the order is; I have seen the people ordered by score (I think)
and by member ID, but the current order is a mystery to me.

Hi Luc,
Luc Pattyn wrote: I am still confused by the expiration messages.
The ideas is, that a member is awarded with an MVP status for one year. If my wording is wrong, please, correct me.

Previosly it was out of the order . Current order is by year, no specific inside order. What order you think is most relevant here?

Elina

Hi Elina,
I do think the expiration is off by one year, the winners from 2007 were awarded just
some days ago, they should last till 31-DEC-2008 or 01-JAN-2009 (not 2008).
Sort order: first and foreall by award year; within that:
- yesterday's order (by score I guess) seemed most appropriate;
- alphabetical order would be runner-up (but may stimulate a low-alphabet name bias in future)

Ok, you are right!. Will be fixed soon.
Luc Pattyn wrote: Sort order:
There is no score for the members, as it is for the articles (I can do it by number of messages posted, though).
Depending on the performance, I will either sort them by name (alphabetical) or by memberId
I was wrong. It is ordered by date, when the award was received, then by MemberId

Elina

I was thinking there was some kind of score that lead to the selection of 40 MVP,
based on votes they collected in the forums; and it lead to the order of the awards as
published initially in the 31-Dec-2008 newsletter (Christian, Pete, Colin, etc).
The Hall of Fame at some point did show the happy few in that order; and it has shown them
in memberID order before that (which does not make much sense to me); and it currently
shows them in an order I don't understand.

I was just curious in knowing how long or what is the process after we submit a topic for Survey along with a few options and description.

Survey suggestions go into a queue and I tend to pick and choose them based on current relevancy, how well I think they'll be accepted by the community, whether we've already had it recently (we do re-run surveys if times have changed) and whether the survey is something that can be summarised in a few options with little chance of me geting lots of "but the survey doesn't make sense because of [insert essay]" emails.

I just observed that forumid is being unnecessarily passed for even lounge. Lounge has its own ASPX name (perhaps URLRewriting trick) and hence I feel fid=1159 might not be required.
Perhaps we can save a little URL Space, which can be used for other information too. Also passing an Int in QuerySTring and then encountering junk data might lead to unnecessary exception handling leading to overburdening the server.

I think we've already discussed this.
a) It works the opposite to what you think,
b) Is it really important enough an issue to make a post about?
Sorry - but due to there being only 24hrs in a days we have to focus on those things that are important to the operation of the site

The topic was partially covered for Search keywords being in Classic CodeProject.
Chris Maunder wrote: really important
Though not acutely significant, I only felt that a little of minimizing the surface area that is exposed to the world which opens up avenues for exception handling (like Int being used, we need to handle 'Input string was not in the correct format') and exceptions are a little heavy for the Worker Process.
Perhaps, a little step towards easing the already heavily loaded webserver.
