Re: Print feature for CodeProject articles Shog923-Sep-03 8:40 Shog9 23-Sep-03 8:40  I hate that. The print dlg shouldn't appear until i hit the "print" toolbar button. Now, if Chris wanted to do a "print media" CSS for CP... Shog9 nightdrivin'withoutheadlights... A better clickety. Taka Muraoka22-Sep-03 15:52 Taka Muraoka 22-Sep-03 15:52  I usually want my clicketies to look like this[^] i.e. plain text appears in the post, not the URL. So instead of having to clickety the text and then go back and manually edit the URL, have a clickety button that asked me what URL I wanted to use and wrapped the selected text with the appropriate <A> tags.

ZoogieZork22-Sep-03 16:57 ZoogieZork 22-Sep-03 16:57  It seems that the current behavior pretty much does what you're asking for already, since the text for the link is selected after clicking on the "link[^]" button, so you can just start typing your link text? I started using full URLs in my posts (both here and elsewhere) when a friend pointed out that the URLs for my links got lost when he printed out pages or copied the text to another file... the current behavior seems to be the best of both worlds. - Mike Re: A better clickety. Taka Muraoka22-Sep-03 22:02 Taka Muraoka 22-Sep-03 22:02  Sigh. I'm obviously not thinking outside the square. I always typed in the text, selected the bit I want to convert into a URL, made it into a clickety and then went back and fixed up the 2 URL's. Which is the more natural way, in my defence...

Heath Stewart23-Sep-03 10:55 Heath Stewart 23-Sep-03 10:55  A quicker change is to paste the link, convert it, and edit the 1 text.

I ask this because I use an inverted color scheme, where buttons have a dark blue background and white text, and it appears that it's causing the formatting buttons to be invisible - Mike The Lounge Subject Nic Rowan20-Sep-03 11:24 Nic Rowan 20-Sep-03 11:24  The bit in the Lounge subject where it says: "No programming questions please" needs to be in big, size 72, colourful, bolded, flashing, possible spelled out by naked women font. I just think there are some people out there you're just not reaching Despite the high cost of living, it remains popular. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Re: The Lounge Subject Ian Darling20-Sep-03 11:38 Ian Darling 20-Sep-03 11:38  Maybe the Lounge "Submit" button should actually read "I declare that this post is not a programming question, and allow Bob's Heavies to come over and teach me a Hard Lesson if it is" Or it should popup a javascript alert after you click it, but before it posts back saying: "Is this a programming question?" [Yes] [No] Because nobody ever reads message boxes, most people will just click "Yes", and we can stick the post in some "General Programming Questions" forum instead -- Ian Darling "The moral of the story is that with a contrived example, you can prove anything." - Joel Spolsky Re: The Lounge Subject Nic Rowan20-Sep-03 11:50 Nic Rowan 20-Sep-03 11:50  The General Programming forums are going to have a message saying "If this is NOT Programming related, please post this in the Lounge."

SMobot19-Sep-03 4:59 SMobot 19-Sep-03 4:59  Is there an RSS feed for new articles on CodeProject.com? -Jason Re: RSS feed? Chris Maunder19-Sep-03 8:24 Chris Maunder 19-Sep-03 8:24  Yes. Take a quick look at the homepage. cheers, Chris Maunder About a thread in an article... cemlouis19-Sep-03 0:59 cemlouis 19-Sep-03 0:59  Hi all, See Levent S. 's thread in here: http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/csppleds.asp#xx614311xx I think his idea will be great... Subscription to favorite author kgrubbs19-Sep-03 10:12 kgrubbs 19-Sep-03 10:12  That link didnt work for me, but I know what he is talking about, and for those who don't want to go searching, I'll explain. Levent's suggestion was the ability to create a "Subscription to your favorite author" of sorts, so that you could be notified by codeproject when your favorite author(s) post new articles, and or make modifications to existing articles. I think this would be Great, because there are some really great Article Writers on Code Project. Chris? How about it? How many hits? Rickard Andersson2017-Sep-03 1:34 Rickard Andersson20 17-Sep-03 1:34  The forum search engine doesn't show us how many hits you've got. That means unknown Next-clicks...

Chris Maunder30-Sep-03 5:12 Chris Maunder 30-Sep-03 5:12  Does knowing you have 100 or 300 or 50 hits make a difference? I wrestled with this while writing the scripts. I can add it back and incur a slight perf hit if necessary. cheers, Chris Maunder Re: How many hits? Rickard Andersson2030-Sep-03 5:30 Rickard Andersson20 30-Sep-03 5:30  Hm,a hit counter may not be necessary, but perhaps if you could make it show Page 1/n where n is total pages. You do show which page I'm on, but you could add how many is left? Understand my point? Rickard Andersson Here is my card, contact me later!

Tibor Blazko14-Sep-03 22:17 Tibor Blazko 14-Sep-03 22:17  hi chris why links like this http://www.codeproject.com/dialog/cfindreplacedialog.asp?select=610029&forumid=1195&df=100&msg=610029 do not scroll to the comment item but stay at article start? i got it after my (mail) reply to http://www.codeproject.com/dialog/cfindreplacedialog.asp?msg=610029#xx610029xx what works well (does not depend on browser type) t! Ability to bookmark threads. MKlucher13-Sep-03 16:58 MKlucher 13-Sep-03 16:58  I think it would be cool to have the ability to bookmark threads. Sometimes a question is asked that I really like or a thread has some good info that I want to reference back to later to digest it all. It would be cool if you could add these to a special Forum Threads section in My Bookmarks. Of course we all have the ability to bookmark through IE but they become a pain to manage after a while. Re: Ability to bookmark threads. J. Dunlap13-Sep-03 18:29 J. Dunlap 13-Sep-03 18:29  Absolutely! This would be very nice.

WREY13-Sep-03 0:17 WREY 13-Sep-03 0:17  Many times a post becomes too large because the person wants to include some code to illustrate his/her point (or question). Just like emails, where you can attach a file to contain extra information, if such a feature could be added to CodeProject when someone posts a message, that would leave the message itself clean, clear and uncluttered from code. Then clicking on the attached file, the reader could then see the code the person posted. It doesn't have to be code; it could be screen shots or just anything extra that could assist with what the poster is talking about. William Fortes in fide et opere! Re: Add the ability to attach a file. Nnamdi Onyeyiri13-Sep-03 1:29 Nnamdi Onyeyiri 13-Sep-03 1:29  you can do this as long as the poster has somewhere to upload the files too. with so many people using the forums, a HUGE amount of disk space would be required to save the uploads if they were to be uploaded to CP. To those who didn't make it, we will remember you. To those who did is back. - Megan Forbes in Black Friday Another Post by NnamdiOnyeyiri Re: Add the ability to attach a file. Chris Maunder13-Sep-03 2:57 Chris Maunder 13-Sep-03 2:57  The trick is that if someone uploads something illegal or inappropriate then we may be held accountable. cheers, Chris Maunder Re: Add the ability to attach a file.

I don't think Bob wants to be next on the RIAAs hitlist somehow, and I somehow think it would cause you no end of headaches. Plus it would probably send your bandwidth bill skyrocketing.
