Please add a sticky message to the Article Writing forum, explaining what the forum is for, and isn't for.
People keep posting questions there that relate to very specific problems they have with articles they have submitted; such questions need to be in "Bugs and Suggs" for admins to pick them up.
More in general: please add a stikcy message to every forum that currently does not have one.

i really apologise if
1.if this is not the appropriate forum to ask my doubt regarding the CP forums usage.
2.if the doubt which iam going to ask is a self explanatory one.
i find a link called "watch" beside "book mark". i tried but iam unable to find where a particular post is watched.
i guess, that option enables us to keep watching a thread for updates and give automatic online alerts if they are answered, i mean without refreshing the page manually.
if my guess is wrong, then please letme know if there is any such feature.
and also the advantage of watch.
thanks all in advance.

I don't know. Isn't there a tooltip that sheds some light?

No - this is a good question and one which we need to clarify.
Adding a 'watch' means you bookmark and item and at the same time add it to your Watched items in your My CodeProject[^] page. We'll also be expanding this so watched items appear in alerts in other places.

thanks for your explanation.

but.. still, for me it is not self explanatory. for example, if i select watch for the first post in Algorithms, in "MyCodeProject" section, it is showing up first five posts in that Algorithms forum.
and now, if i delete the fifth post, then i observed "Messages on your Watched Forums" link takes me to list.aspx.
i hope this feature is under construction.

eagerly waiting for that feature

I would love the ability to subscribe to an Author, for example, the prolific Marc Clifton. I've looked around the site and didn't find an obvious way to do it so I assume this feature is not present.
Receiving an email when the author posts a new article would be adequate but I would much prefer and RSS or Atom feed that I could add to my feed reader.
Thanks!

We have the ability to 'watch' an author, and in your 'My CodeProject' page see a list of the latest articles by your watched authors, but no RSS or email alert. Yet...

I think VDK is referring to the new-message image, with the yellow background. he wants that to show up for stickeys too.

From the Header in the VB Forum...
" 4. If the question is a inappropriate then click the 'vote to remove message' button
Insults, slap-downs and sarcasm isn't welcome. Let's work to help developers, not make them feel stupid. "
Remove the A in point 4 and change Isn't to Aren't in the next line
Otherwise I agree with the sentiments.
Indeed I try my best to clarify when there is confusion, I do not denigrate for lack of English, merely for lack of thinking.

Very much true. The bottomline of the story is not to hurt them for lack of knowledge but the lack of interest or initiative to put honest efforts and a humble endeavor to think and come out and get started.

Hi Dave,
Indeed, I often find you contribute a delightful confusion in the Lounge, a confusion laced with top-notes of whimsy, and humour, and your wacky way with words.
Hopefully your gear-shift doesn't stick when you give techical advice and response on the technical forums.
In your very honor I have coined the neologism "dalekomania," although it doesn't quite feel right, because, in this century, the word "mania" has some negtive overtones related to psychiatry's usurping its semantic domain, but "dalekofervid" or "dalekostatic" just don't seem to work, and "dalekolalic" is just too obvious.
And who, my loquacious friend, does not "suffer accordingly" who does not play the accordion and, thus, suffer "accordionly" ?
best, Bill
"Many : not conversant with mathematical studies, imagine that because it [the Analytical Engine] is to give results in numerical notation, its processes must consequently be arithmetical, numerical, rather than algebraical and analytical. This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly."

I'm unaware of any modern email client that actually allows javascript or ActiveX controls to be run. If the only way to make SpamAssassin happy is stop sending HTML based emails then I'm afraid SpamAssassin will have to stay grumpy.

I think it's mostly paranoid about images, since those can contain tracking links, and such.
I guess I'll just add it to the whitelist for my site - just figured it was worth noting, in case other ISPs are using SA

I see you'v added that one to the forums, I like it
But (of course there is a but) in the C# forum its marked as a question.
Perhaps thats intended but I get the feeling it's not since we can't reply to it
