Beats me, I was searching the archives for help on CSS for articles.

Previously, if one article references another article and the referenced article got moved by the editor, when you click the out-dated link, CP will find and display the correct link.
Unfortunately, the feature is gone now. CP will only tell you "Page not found".

It's still there. Sometimes though it simply can't find the article, or if an article has been removed then it work work either.
any particular article you were looking for? I'll double check.

Yes, it works now after you changed the title back to "Executing commands on a remote machine". The article was referenced in another article of mine, somehow the feature doesn't work if the title is changed.

Can anyone tell me where I can find the font, which is used in the "THE CODE PROJECT" logo in the top of the site down the banner.

I really like the "New" notification that appears next to new posts, but I think it could be cool to incorporate some client side logic into it. It would be really handy if the "New" went away after a user have clicks on a post. That way it will be easier to see which posts are actually new to the user. Currently it gets really hard to keep track of what you have read, and what you haven't in one of the massive threads that grows very quickly (When there are like 25 different "new" posts).
Actually, after thinking about how to implement that feature, it is probably way more work than it is worth. I'm still going to post this, because it is the only thing about these awesome forums that I think could really help make them better.

*That* would be fun, not. LOL, I can just imagine the cookie handling code that would manage to do that and how big the cookies would get after awhile (you would have to keep track of every single post read, and I read a lot of posts everyday.) Not too mention the client-side load that would put on the client (scripting languages in general are not very performance orientated.)
Of course you could do it on the server-side, but then that means some new tables in the CP database and blam, there goes all the extra scalability Chris has eeked out of the code already.
I think most of us would prefer to keep the forums as they are if that means the performance stays as it is. While this feature you mention is cool, it would throw performance out the window and we would all start moaning

It would be kind of nasty, but keep in mind that you would only have to keep track of the posts that have been read up until the time they would have naturally fallen off the "new" classification (Perhaps expiring cookies would work for this). That is probably less than 200 posts (probably only gets that high durring a flame war) at any given time.
What do you think?

That is a good point actually. If anyone is up to finding out what manipulating 200 cookies is like, be my guest

Crap, I thought "suggestions" was a way of making other people do work for me.

It's well hidden. Even among the people who know it exists seldom remember how to get to it. Use this knowledge wisely...

Sounds like "...beware of the darkside...." should be coming out of your mouth right after this statement.

That's an intersting thought, maybe we should talk to Chris and see if he likes the idea of changing the name of Member since to something like "Dark Shadowy Bob-like Thing years"?

People should be allowed to vote on ages. Like you can vote +1 if you think the fellow should be one yr older or -1 if you want to make him younger etc...
Allowed votes are +2, +1, -1, -2
Like the idea???

When browsing the forums, I occasionally see two identical topics posted accidentally, usually by pressing the Submit button more than once.
To prevent this, I suggest that after the user pushes the Submit button, that the button be disabled and that the user is notified that the post is being submitted.
