Perhaps but even if our <redeacted>s are leaking into the main site my count is incorrect unless it's also counting messages posted to the private forum as well.

I wasn't going to do one, then I thought of an angle late last Friday and it's about all I've done since.

I have it working on a character-by-character basis and am about to extend to do line-by-line.

I glanced at yours (and others) and am not expecting to win.

Someone must be secretly adding excellent articles to my collection, as both their number and average rating went up quite a bit. To whom should I send my list of topics I want to see handled next?

Not sure about the list - maybe Sean - but you can send cheques and money orders, or even just cases of good, Belgium beer to myself.

It is unusual seeing you write a pleonasm. I'll have some ready next time you show up in Antwerp.
[EDIT] I mean beers, not pleonasms. [/EDIT]

Few suggestions

Here are few suggestions for forums

Provide buttons to wrap selected text in ordered or unordered list (<ol> and <ul>) in the compose/reply message page.
Don't encode the allowed HTML tags. e.g: <li>
When "code block" button is clicked from programming forums, add pre tag with the language attribute. e.g: From C# forum, it will be <pre lang=cs>
Option to see the whole discussion thread when replying to a message. Now only the message to which we are replying is shown. Showing all discussions will help to quote from different messages

I think chris is working on that one already.
I suggested something similar a month or so back.

Just saw the Catalog page from the Daily News. I really liked that schema and was wondering if their are any plans to migrate to that look or give us the option to use it?

I may have seen it before, but I don't recall ever seeing it like that. So depends on when you changed it, if ever, that should tell you how long since I've seen it, if ever. Blush | :O

Both actually. They're both esthetically quite pleasing. Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:
