When reading a lengthily post, sometimes replies to a particular posting can go on ... and on ... and on ... and ... well you get the idea I'm sure.
I'd like to see the ability, when reading a reply, to click a "link" that takes me to the 'parent' message to which that reply was posted.
Not the "root" of the original thread, mind you, but the post being replied to.
That would be handy.

This is on the TODO list. I agree - it can be a pain to find the start

Why is "Article search engine working 100%" listed as a current bug? Do you intend to goose it up to 110%, like they did to the reactor in Red October? Or do you just want to see if anyone is reading that post?

You could also have added a "bug in buglist" bug...

We need a Software Review article category. Backup software, icon sets, disk imaging, icon editors, registry cleaners, anti-virus and firewalls - these are just a few of the many repeat requests for recommendations that come up in the Lounge.
To relieve heartburn of your advertising staff, you can stipulate that only positive recommendations will be accepted, after review by CP staff (in other words, no MC-style rants).

A negative review should be allowed if it is present with an equal comparison and presented in a professional manner. For instance, comparison between two products to determine which product is better. You might have a negative for one of the two reviewed.
But I agree, I don't want to see 300+ "my OS is better than your OS" articles.

Hi All/Chris,
I was recently cruising the Java pages. It seems the area does not honor a login from the main site.

Yep - we're working on that one.

Sorry about that. I just saw a post about it a couple of pages back by hspc.

Steady on. We don't need to know such detail. What goes on between two consenting posters in the Java forums are none of our business.

In the last week I've seen a rash of requests for books to learn new languages and such. Could we maybe make a forum for recommendations or compile a list and have a link to that?

Putting it the other way -- How about a category in the Articles as 'Book Review'. Wouldn't that be reaching each book of interest in much greater depth.

I agree, and I think it should be a new article category, not just a new forum, so there could be different sub-categories of books.

Chris had an article (still has it) :-
Useful Reference Books[^]
It hasn't been updated in a while though. Damn, he does not list my book either!

Can some one see this thread?
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/View.aspx?fid=1159&msg=2538943[^]
There is a reply I and leckey have posted. Now replies to leckey are showing as replies to my thread. Taking it one step further, the second level reply of mine is shown as-if I have replied to my own thread.
I deleted my message and created again but to no avail. A little while before, I got an error message "There was an error inserting your message". Is the server facing any issue?

In a fit of insanity, in response to my catching a return of the misthreaded reply bug, Chris said the current design should have made it "Impossible". I'd expect to see massive threading corruption over the new few weeks in response.

The keyword is 'should' and yes, I'm an idiot 
We've posted this as a bug and will see what we can come up with.

Ah, I should've checked this first. I was just replying to a post by Chris (of all people) in the lounge and it was posted under another poster instead. *This time* I know I'm not crazy because I quoted from his reply in mine.
