Sorry, Chris. Some other work got in the way. 
But it did seem that once I replied, something caused the normal navigation links to no longer point to what you would expect. I'll try it again after this post and let you know. For sure.

Okay, so I replied and then scrolled down a message or two to the Pin-Message post and clicked that. It opened fine and then I clicked on the perma-link. My browser (IE6) then re-displayed the entire page with that Pin-Message post opened as before. However when I hover my mouse over the Next link for the next page, it looks like the perma-link is where I'll go, instead of the next page in the forum. I clicked it and sure enough, the entire page is re-displayed and the Pin-Message post is opened again. I saved the source and it's been emailed to you. Let me know if you need more info or another test. Sorry about the delay.

That seems to have worked. At least in this forum. I'll be over in the programming fora later, and I'll let you know how that goes.

Seems to be good on all fora now.
Thanks. Extra grapes for the hamsters.

Hi,
I have noticed on a few older articles which link to other older articles, they are using a link that nolonger works because the extension has changed from .asp to .aspx. For example, on this article - AI : Neural Network for beginners (Part 1 of 3)[^] - there is a link to the other two parts of the series, like this http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/Backprop_ANN.asp[^]. This page doesn't exist, but if you change it to .aspx it does. Would it be possible to make this happen automatically (assuming, of cause, it doesn't break something else ) It could help some people find cross-referenced articles a little easier.
Btw: The way the URL pasting automatically gets the page title for codeproject pages is very nice 
Thanks

Thanks for pointing this out Tony. If you see anymore please let me know
I've fixed this for the three articles in the series

I've added a more general fix for these types of things. Should be good now.

I mean - It is not some kind of a joke that they can vote on; nobody cares if anyone really *liked* the guidelines[^] or not. They are simply expected to follow all the points there to get an answer.
I see some idiots have down-voted it, and even though if it were voted high, it plainly doesn't make any sense to have voting enabled there. I would much prefer that particular post being red by default (like it had several 5 votes on it), so that it stands aside of other posts and catches attention of new members. The same applies for all sticky posts on all forums.

I reckon if this is the thing that's bugging you most today then I'm doing alright 
Does it really matter?

I think yes. I know it doesn't bring the world to a halt, but it may not look awesome if the guidelines is voted out to a gray.

I believe the footer links should not appear for that post and also it should be made sticky so that it keeps floating around for all pagination actions. What do you feel?

Could this possibly be moved to the right edge next to the poster name, etc? I keep clicking it by accident when trying to select the next message.

I originally had it that way but found it very unintuitive. Having it right next to the message expander link, to me, makes it clear that you're pinning the message, not, say, the member.

whatever you do, don't pin the members. I guess most of them wouldn't like it.

Not even just a couple of them? Surely I've earned the right to just a couple of pinnings...

Oh well, if you make it an opt-in setting, and use it sparingly...

Could you at least move it to the other side of the message type or new post icon's then? that would put a bit more physical space between it and the expand message link, reducing the chance of an accidental click, while still leaving the association to the message apparent.

Just a minor thing also relating to pins. If you pin an OP of a thread then unpin, the background colour for the thread title gets lost

I can't reproduce this in FF3.0.8.
