How about a "Windows CE" or "Embedded" forum? Frankly, I'm suirprised you don't already have one Chris.

It would be cool if as well as showing how many new posts there are, the forum list showed how many new threads. How many new and unanswered threads would be even better. Surely I'm not the only one who goes through the forums that cover stuff they know looking for unanswered questions. A filter so only unanswered questions are shown would almost be too much to ask for, but seeing as it IS almost Christmas......
It would also make it more likely that people would get an answer, even if they didn't in the first day of asking.

Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002

What a way to ask for something.

I totally agree with Christian, it would be very nice and could help out with those questions that get lost below other posts that contain discussions.

I'd be interested to know what people are searching for in order to reach codeproject (I'm assuming Chris has access to referrer logs) - then he could tailor a page that'd match all the homework help requests (possibly giving a polite message that we'll help with problems but not write the whole thing for people)

I'll second that idea, it would certainly be a productive thing to do. I often miss questions that I can answer because they disappear from sight very quickly at peak periods.
Not sure about the structure of the forum database tables, it might be a tricky thing to implement and the speed may not make it worthwhile.

I'll add these to the list - unfortunately they'll have to wait till we've sorted out DB speed issues.

Ah well, just a random thought! I've got a cold  and am not thinking straight.

FYI - I can see your picture now, I was at work earlier, however I doubt that was the issue because my picture was missing as well.

It came from one of the first issues of Wired if I remember correctly. The closest I can tell is that it's a turkey-monkey (or a monkey-turkey, depending on your outlook on life).

Following on from a thread in my most recent article I think it would be a good idea to have some way of linking to articles rather than absolute URLs. Often articles are moved, whether from unedited to a section, or from one section to another. Although the error page is good at detecting it, Uwe Keim recommended something that seems pretty good:
http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/CountryListBox.asp?select=353698&df=100&forumid=13660&msg=353698#xx353429xx[^]
A kind of CMS tag that could be parsed. However, to avoid overhead with processing each page I suggested using some kind of ArticleRedirect page:
http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/CountryListBox.asp?select=353698&df=100&forumid=13660&msg=353698#xx353698xx[^]
That uses some kind of article identity number on the querystring to forward you to the correct article. That way, when the article is moved it can still be found successfully. The ArticleRedirect script would just perform a look-up on that number and Response.Redirect them on.
