Thanks - I appreciate the kind words.
As to page numbers sure - I'll add it to the TODO.

YOu don't put every page. Generally only +-5 from the current one, and optionally a few more at significantly larger distances. eg +25, +100, + 1000

i feel that, listing of the threads based on the following would be interesting.
1.selected date,
2.poster name,
3.participant name, means i want to see those messages, in which, i(or my favourite member) have participated and weather they are answered or not(may be on a later date).
from so many days i had been asking(suggesting), if there could be some provision to indicate the thread as solved, if it is solved.
thanks to all for going through my suggestion.
Suggestion to the members:
prefix your main thread subject with [SOLVED] if it is solved.
chandu.

arbitrary sorts would probably hammer the DB alot more than the current setup does, since it only requires a single cachable stack to store the ordering.
Requests to mark a problem solved have been made repeatedly, but all fail due to users generally not caring, even assuming they'd read a rules thread saying to do so.

Maybe this is a novel idea:
- add the SOLVED flag automatically, no matter what, after some time (say 1 day);
- give the author of the original message a button to reset the SOLVED flag and the
timer, i.e. let him confirm he is still interested in getting an answer, more answers,
better answers.

but as of now, iam renaming my originalpost by prefixing [SOLVED] if it is solved. and iam suggesting the other members also to follow the same thing, if they like it.
Suggestion to the members:
prefix your main thread subject with [SOLVED] if it is solved.
chandu.

It was removed a long time ago for performance reasons.

A bunch of subtle bugs that were either complaints about software or please for help were removed.

Every time I do a limited search, such as only C++/MFC articles, articles from all of the sections appear, mainly C# articles. Is this because it does an C++/MFC search first, then adds related articles if a close match isnt found? I think the search would be easier if the filters actually left out all the unwanted subcategories.

Our search isn't great but a new version is currently in beta that, we hope, will fix these problems

I don't see why people would come to CP to share their jokes when there are a plethora of websites out there dedicated to just such an endeavour.
The lounge is simply decending into a forum where people post the latest joke their friend/collegue/sig. other has told them. The problem is multifold:
1) These jokes tend to be as old as the hills
2) This is a programming website - not a joke board!
3) It quashes any decent convesation that may be possible in the lounge
Im sorry to be a stick-in-the-mud but is there any way that these worthless (IMO) threads could be either discouraged or at least moved to their own forum.

It's a fine line between having a boring lounge, an interesting lounge and a lounge swamped by crap.
Use the vote buttons and let others filter out the crap

Oh no - sorry. I thought the virus joke was at least semi related to the industry. Sorry if I caused offence.
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

Actually, although yours was as old as all the rest, it did make me chuckle as I hadn't heard that one in .... ooh 2 weeks or so.

How about we get any posts with the Joke/Game icon automatically moved to the VB forum?

The Lounge is a place where you can discuss anything that takes your fancy. If you just want to laze about and discuss things that don't quite fit elsewhere, then this is the place.

So what? Jokes in the Lounge are fine in my opinion, as long as they fit the kid-sister rule.

I went to my profile page, then photo was showing "you must be logged in to view other members images". But when I clicked on the my articles page, it showed the image. Still I have not logged in. Then what is the use of blocking it in the profile page ?
