thanks,Nish.
then suddenly remember that the original poster has got a mail notify.
no,i did not realised that until some strict guys complained in his posting that i basically did not catch what was talking about.
you said"Luckily now the mail notifications don't included the entire post"
what do you mean?the post is filtered??

Hey Chris,
It's ages since I've nagged ya, so here goes.
Sometimes when you are reading a thread that spans across a page break (i.e. you have click next) it would be nice if each message had a "Reply to thread starter" as well as just plain ol' "Reply" 'cause then if a message gave you a thought but you couldn't be bothered to go to the previous page to post it, you could click on our magical link and hey presto!
Whaddya think ?
(ps. gotta love the new toolbar thing, even if I haven't had a chance to use it yet )

Nice idea, but what would happen is that people would reply to thread starter when they meant instead to reply to the current message author.
cheers,

Maybe hide it, in a very small font, placed just next to the [delete] link...

Good point, oh well... I'll have to try and remember to shift click Next instead methinks.
Thanks!

A wording change would help that, such as

You think it would, but it won't.
As long as we get people posting "I'm trying to write a DirectX game but my screen is all black help me" as free text responses to a survey such as "What is your favourite colour" I'm going to play it safe and stick to a single option.
Besides, it's not that hard to scroll up, click on the first post and hit 'reply author'.
cheers,
Chris Maunder

I just noticed that when you quote a phrase on the new "Reply Page" it always seems to go to the top of the page. Would it be possible to get the quoted text to go on the same line as the caret or on the next free blank line like it used to.

That's weird. I'm testing it now:

and it's all working for me. Argh. Scripting browsers is worse than trying to target Win95 and W2K simultaneously.
Which browser?

Currently when you click on a members profile it shows all the posts they have in a large list. It would be handy to have it seperated into 2 sections. One section would have just replys from the member the other section would have topics they have started. Hopefully it is a reasonable request.
I got a email from someone who basically did not understand what I was talking about. So I have provided a link to someones profile on another board. It shows a bit more clearly what I am talking about since they have implemented it.

That's a great idea Mark. I second it

sorry.i did not read your message carefully when i posted the first time.
after i went to cp's profile page,i knew i made a mistake.
so i deleted my reply immediately,it was only about 10 seconds' time interval.
but the mail was already automatically sending out.

In the lounge there are many massages with links. Someone write the URL using the HTML tags; someone simply write the URL as plain text. In this second case, it would be nice if the parser could recognise the "http://" header of the word and add the proper HTML tag.

I believe Chris is working on this, but as with all development other things keep getting in the way.

That would be cool, especially if it could add a target="_blank", maybe as an option, or a default for non CP links.

I would like to see an additional button similar to Quote Selected Text, which prompts via JavaScript for a desired URL and a textual description, and inserts <a href="URL">description</a> [<a href="URL" target="_blank">^</a>] (Maybe the description field should be defaulted with Clickety ) So Chris has not to implement a parser for the postings...

Not tested, but just hacked in:
function EnterHyperLink()
{
var txtURL = prompt("Enter URL","");
if (txtURL == "")
return;
var TextArea = document.MessageForm.ContentText;
var text = TextArea.value;
if (document.MessageForm.Format && !document.MessageForm.Format.checked)
{
text += txtURL;
}
else
{
var txtDesc = prompt("Description","Clickety");
if (txtDesc == "")
return;
text += "<a href=\"" + strURL + ">" + strDesc + "</a>";
text += " [<a href=\"" + strURL + " target=\"_blank\">^</a>] ";
}
TextArea.value = text;
TextArea.focus();
}

It adds target="_blank" only if the link is outside of CodeProject.

Code Project's message board has an expanded view option that, I assume, allows a user to view all of the threads of a page in their entirety.
Even though this option is for Supporters only, I believe this option would benefit more users because it saves time posting, replying, and looking for answers.
Tell me what you think.

The problem with expanded view is that the Ads won't re-load. Currently the Ads re-load when we view individual messages! I think it's okay for supporters to have it as they have already shown their support for CP in a big way.

Someone posted a JavaScript snippet a couple weeks ago that shows all posts, although me personally I don't like it, I find it's hard to follow threads when I can't clearly see the indentation of each post.
