On the homepage, there is a combo box, with "Got Programming question" as the first element, and then in the list, Soapbox is one of the item.
After soapbox is selected and if we try to post a message, there is a bold red line at the top. "Please do NOT post programming questions or ads to this forum."
This flow does not seem to be correct.

Wont is be comfortable if the orginal message is displayed while we "modify" our reply?. Sometimes If we want to quote a line from the original message while modifiying, we need to open a separate page to read it again and copy the text to be quoted from that page. So my suggestion is simple. For "modify", why not we have the same options as we have for a "reply". 1.which displays the original message, 2. Which has "quote selected text" option.

It would be far nicer if suggestions were voted 1 to 5. "Me too" posts just add clutter.

and i'd ask more !!!
sometimes, the original message is very long (too much of code, copied/pasted), and not every time we need to quote either, so the request would be :
is it mossible to add a bit of javascript to collapse/expand the original message when we do reply to someone ?

How do I find the post another post was replying to? In a thread which has many posts the reply and the post replied to can be separated by a large distance, often larger then the height of your screen. Finding the reply in this case is hard. Clicking the "View Thread" button doesn't seem to help. For example go here[^] and click the "View Thread" button and you can't even see the post on which you clicked the button. I would suggest the following:
The "View Thread" button should pick out a thread, which is the chain of posts ending with the post you clicked the "View Thread" button on, proceeding backwards by following the parent chain until the founding post is reached.

Just a thought :

Beause new users would get puzzled if they find :

It used to be this way. I guess it got changed because too many posts contained "naked" URLs that people couldn't just click on. They actually had to copy/paste them into the browser! How awful.

Yeah David, Even I wish the same. But I thought it'd be fine if there's an *option* for it keeping the existing as the default option.
But I'm telling this with a meek voice indeed. It's not something we miss badly

hi Chris,
a simple suggestion about the unanswered question in the programming boards :
it would be nice if you could display the date when the question's been asked, and then, sort them in descending order (most recent up)...
also, it would be nice looking if it was displayed in a table layout...
what do you think about it ?

They are sorted in descending order of posting.
Does it add anything to know a question was posted 2 mins or 2 hrs ago? Just curious since I had the timestamp originally but didn't see the point.

nope... you get this information only if you click on the link to reach the post, but nothing indicates such a thing in the "unanswered questions" page...

IMHO this site is the best in programming area. But the forum isn't good enough for the site, therefore I sugest that you changed that strange system ( kind of desorganized and uggly ) to a common php forum ( a Bulletin Board, like myBB ). I'm not saying that the forum sucks, but if it was like those bulletin boards, would be perfect.
It's only a suggestion... Please post your opnions. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

my suggestion for the webmaster : please keep it like it is !!!
it's much more efficient when you can answer to a particuliar person, with an historical vision of the discussion rather than a flat board where everything you add if pushed at the bottom...
really Chris, you did a good job by designing these boards, useful icons for the posts, so don't break it now

agreed. Flat threading breaks down after about 10-20 posts as the topic begins to drift in seperate directions.
If you want to make a real improment to usability, provide an NNTP feed. Otherwise, this site comes closer to meeting my ideal webforum than almost anything else I've seen on the net.
