I was replying to a Lounge post that was subsequently deleted (before I submitted my reply). CP informed me an error had occured and asked me to retry the operation. Clicking the retry link displayed the error message "You cannot post to this forum". Obviously not a biggie, but it looks like the error handling could be less generic.
Also, I thought deleting a post no longer physically removed it but just rendered it as "Deleted"? It seems deleted posts are indeed being deleted and causing thread rendering gremlins.

Sometimes the error messages are not related to your specific operation. Sometimes the server just plain dies.

And we have a nice little service for it. Maybe some flowers. A choir or two.
the last thing I want to see is some pasty-faced geek with skin so pale that it's almost translucent trying to bump parts with a partner - John Simmons / outlaw programmer
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

I may be thinking wrong, but I thought that the messages in Question Time used to come from both article responses and forum posts? I realize most forum posts are answers, so maybe forum posts were removed?
Is it possible to add just the beginning message of new forum threads? or, since Question Time rotates pretty quick already, maybe it could be a seperate box?

Question time shows new questions posted to both articles and the programming forums

Are programming forums a subset of the message boards?

Looks like Jean Edwidge Luxama[^] deleted a post in the C++ forum, but only the text of it was deleted, check the post just after Image compression?[^] thread.
I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:

Another idea I had is to have an article to PDF conversion so people can download articles for future use. Is there any chance that something like this could be implemented in CP articles?
Thanks.

Have your tried saving the file to MHT?

Although it would be nice if CP did this automatically have you tried using the "Print Article" link to remove ads and then use a printer like CutePDF to print to a pdf file.
Not as nice I know but workable all the same, I've done this in the past to save articles.
I have no idea what I just said. But my intentions were sincere.

Yes, but I just thought that an automatic PDF creator would be nice.

I agree, maybe if someone put together an article with it then it might be implemented...

There are PDF printers too, I guess.

I was thinking, how about having a CodeProject Technology and/or Electronics forum? That way people can discuss problems with they're electronics or just general technology problems (software, drivers etc.)
Does anyone else think that this would be a good idea?

That's a great idea! Maybe a Perl/PHP forum.

*Opens book of generic excuses given to me by Chris*
"The Code Project is orientated more towards Microsoft technologies, we try to stay focused" (Lame excuse! I could moderate the forum and do all the focusing)
And also Perl is a waste of a forum.

Yeah, the Soapbox stays really focused!  And besides, you could just get rid of the Web Development forum (HTML, CSS and Javascript really aren't THAT hard), and just have a PHP forum.
Bradml wrote: And also Perl is a waste of a forum.
Not if it's merged with another subject (i.e. PHP). And since AJAX is getting bigger, what about an AJAX forum?

What I would like to see are the following forums:
Client Web Design - HMTL, CSS, JavaScript, Flash(gasp), JAVA, XML/XSLT and so on
PHP/Perl(sacrilege) - PHP, Perl
I think this would bring a huge amount of new members to the site....

I agree. But I guess Chris doesn't want any new members.

He is having enough trouble with the ones he has. 
But I really think that a PHP forum would be a great idea. Maybe I could offer some services to the site in exchange for it....

be smart, try to mask it as PHP.NET (see http://php-compiler.net/[^]) forum

True. I think CP Team can consider creating a PHP forum.
