for the search side, so I could better find new or/and good scored articles.

But that would be db-intensive for CodeProject forums. Isn't it?

I meant only the articles. 
If I do a search with a keyword most times I find up to 100 articles, but I cant sort them for date or for score.

When there are thousands of people clamouring to get questions answered about PHP in a .NET environment then I'll add a board. Until then you need to get behind the DirectX guys in line.
In all seriousness I can have a board for everything under the sun. However, more boards does not equal a better experience. At least not until we have subscriptions to boards. Things just get lost in the plethora of options.

No fair, I was in line first, they cut in! (I think)
An btw I think is as good a time as any to ask your permission to make a community website for CP. Not anything to compete with what you have (and I would be happy to stick your ads up (as long as they don't cause too much lag)). I was thinking more of a member orientated sort of website. Would you be ok with this?

Doing a bit of multi-threading here:
1. Images not loading
2. Menu bar (Help!, Articles etc) scrolling with the page (for about 80-100 px)
3. Errors when posting
4. I was told not forum was selected when trying to post this
You guys doing maintenance or what?

Image problem solved (although I have noticed you have less ads) (maybe firefox has an ad blocker I don;t know about)

1. F5
2. Ctrl+F5
3. Should be better
4. What the...?
No maintenance, just a server went spazzo.

Ok it appears to be better (touch wood). When you say "server went spazzo"?
And finally I am interested in helping you guys out by being an editor, I posted about my attempt below...

You want to move to Toronto? Didn't someone mention it was minus-something-stupid there at the moment?

1. I not receiving information on replies.
2. I tried to send an email to the address in the newsletter (regarding Article Editors) and I received a 550.

threads with new comments should be brought to the top i feel..the threads that deserve more posts also sink down,which results in them not being read much..

i don't think breaking the chronological order is a good idea.
however, we could have a new feature (such as "unanswered questions" in the programming forums)
which lists all the threads that contains new replies (so that we can read them even it they are at the 1000th page...)
what do you think of it ?

Personally, I think your concern of "breaking the chronological order" is horsepucky. It would be easier to find still-active threads if the ones with replies since your last visit to the site were shown at the top of the forum. The biggest watse of time on the site right now is having to scroll page-after-page just to find a thread you were participating in. PhpBB can do it. Of course, the site would have to maintain a cookie ON THE SITE so that when you move from your home machine to your work machine, the site wouldn't lose your place.

I don't like phpBB and those flat forums.
CP provide a much inovative and interresting way of talking with each others...
having a summary of the messages marked "new" at a given moment would have permitted to jump to a particular thread without browsing tons of thread to find out which one has been replied

Full threading and most recent post first are not mutually impossible. Dejanews was able to do this back in the late 90's. The fact that so almost no current forum software is capable of this blows my mind. All that's needed is to add a combo box to "sort by date of first post in thread" or "sort by date of most recent post in thread".
