Ok, either someone is VERY fast in implementing the suggestions,
or i should check better before posting something.
Anyway, forget the wish....since its already there..

What is the difference between the [View Thread] and [Get URL] links on each post. If you click them bith you get the same results. Both of them load the thread without any other threads.

Huh? I usually do that, do I?
I mean I usually have a habit of finding something funny or interesting and talking about it in all my posts?

The 'Get URL' link appears in all messages so you can quickly grab the URL to send to friends or post elsewhere. The 'View Thread' restricts the list of messages to only those in the thread.
The difference in what they actually accomplish? Not a lot

Typical coder attitude. He wrote two functions. And so he refuses to remove on of them even though both do the same thing.
Anyway thanks for the explanation Chris

When someone answer my question here on from a forum I receive a mail with that answer to my mail. But often the message is cut of or something... first I thought it was because they've answered a long message but today I received a message that had 5-6 lines + the sig.
Hmm... is it a bug or... a way to keep us coming back to CP!
no seriously man, whats wrong!? Sometimes I don't have time to go to CP's long-time-loading forums and see the full answer there....

Send me the URL of the message in the email and I'll take a look. Probably a stoopid quote problem I missed.
(although only giving you a teaser is a *great* idea :P)

Could you "tease" us with pictures of naked women?

The judges have turned in their scores, and here they are:
For Technical Merit:
5.4 5.4 5.4 5.1 5.3 5.5 5.3 5.3 5.4
For Presentation:
4.9 4.9 4.9 4.8 5.0 5.1 4.8 4.9 4.9
I have to agree with the judges on the technical merit scores. The program had a fairly low lefvel of difficulty, but he did manage to spell all the words correctly, and he managed to keep his feet together during the often under-inspired "double-quote" move.
For Presentation, I think he should have gotten at least a 5.2 because he did put it out there for all the world to see, and that's a lot more than many of the other competitors will do tonight.
All in all, merely an average performance, but I'd look for great things from this CPian in the next Verbal Sparring Olympics in 2006.

However, since the scoring in this event is entirely subjective it will probably be dropped. Actually, nearly all of the events will be scrapped except for those where he who cries first loses. That is, once we define crying in a non-subjective manner.
Sorry, I sometimes like to refer to long-dead threads.

It sometimes happens that way, specially when people use a lot of HTML tags in their posts.
View your email source and you'll see the entire post. The email client parses it wrong, that's all.

The newsletter is kinda long because we kinda have a lot of new articles posted each week. I've got some ideas on trimming it, but one suggestion was to remove the 'In Brief' section, since it's only duplicate info.
Is the in brief handy? I originally put in in their by request but I'm personally thinking it should go, but if there's a lot of people who would prefer it to stay then speak up or forever hold your peace.
cheers,
Chris Maunder

I always skip over the 'In Brief' section, and just check out the sections I'm interested in.

I'm with PJ, I usually skip over it because I find it easier to read the categoriezed sections than to read the blob of links

Chris, I vote for pulling the "In Brief" section.
Another thing to consider is simply posting (most of) the newsletter online and adding a link to it in the mailed out version. The "new articles" list can appear (in various flavors) online. You may want to continue sending out newsletters, though, for advertising and other purposes.

Chris,
My suggestions. Keep the In-Brief and remove the Detailed-listing. Put a link to the what's new page.
By the way I always get mine Monday evening
Is this because the mails are sent out in member ID order?

I say ditch it. I never go through it, as I only check 2-3 favorite sections.
