I see absolutely no connection between these two "technologies" other than the fact that they were introduced by Microsoft at the same time. I recommend that the two get their own discrete forums.

But that would mean we couldn't call it the WtF forum

Hmmm. I just posted this[^] question in the SQL forum and noticed that I had a line that was way too long. I was about to try and edit the post when I discovered there's no horizontal scrollbar!

I give up. I've tweaked things so that Firefox works well but until we can have our pages validate fully (which requires a lot of retro-cleaning) we're always going to be stuck with IE quirks.

Here's an idea: creating custom lists of articles you've found useful and share them with the community. Here's how it would work:
-Allow members to create custom lists of articles in My Bookmarks (for argument's sake "Winforms in C# - the complete guide. Compiled by martin_hughes")
-Allow the member to specify if the list is private (for personal consumption) or public (published/available somewhere on CP)
-Allow public lists to be voted/commented upon so consumers can get an idea of the quality of the contents /and or provide an average of all the included article's scores.
-At any point a member can chose to make a list public or private
Why?
I find an number of articles, by different authors, very useful and they seem to form a logical series. It would be a very large job for any one person to compile these articles into series, so we put the job to the community - all 5 million of us  - and hey presto the job takes care of its self!

I don't think there's a way to do this currently, but it might be useful to be able to share the list of articles one has bookmarked - a bit like StumbleUpon et al.
One usage scenario: new user asks the old favourite "how do I display one form from another in C#?", I reply with my bookmarks which cover just about every aspect of winforms development known to man.

Though you bring a very good point

The list might be to big for a beginner if it does in fact 'cover just about every aspect of winforms development known to man', might as well just tell them to find an article at CodeProject.
You do however have a very good point (as said earlier). One feature that I have thought of that sort of goes along with your idea is: The ability to see how amny times an article has been bookmarked.

Hi All,/Chris,
-- Unable to load messages due to high load or server error. Please try again --
I've seen a few of these lately. I have observed it on more than 1 article.
The problem does not appear to be transient. I've attempted to reply to a message (notified by email) for about 7 hours now.
In addition, some previous messages for an article are not present.

Hi all,
I have the same problem in my article, I have checked out in different moments and I always get the same message.
BTW, nice work CP-Team

If I remember correctly, in FF you used to get a tooltip when you hovered over member status icon. You still get the tooltip in IE, but not in FF.

Fixed in next rev. Those pesky title tags...

Either that or put someone who works for CP on policing the forums and moving the posts.
Your choice.
The current (manual) systems and procedure in place of yelling at people who post in the wrong forum is clearly not working, unprofessional, reflects poorly on this site and is a terrible introduction to CP for a large number of people who are quitely likely earnest, honest people who simply got in the wrong forum by accident.

I agree that this is a very poor introduction to CP for first-time visitors. However, the current (manual) process is broken only in that it requires a lot of manual intervention. The fact that people "yell" or otherwise act unprofessionaly is a factor of personalities not process. (Take a look at my posts directing people to the correct forum, etc. I take a very different approach than most.) Providing an automated way to perform these type of actions would elimiate the personality from the process.

Well, if your really interested they say:
am really interested in this so called mathematics and algorithm of a thing,am actualy a part-time student and so much of my time is always taking away 4rn me.....so can any help me with the introduction of tyhis great task.....i will be really grateful if anyone can help me out with tghis great work......
But i had to change the view to 'Expand all messages' to see that.
You can't see the message normally because there is no subject to click on so you can expand the message.
So the bug is, i guess, that this person has somehow posted their message without a subject.
