When i was trying to update filters in questions and answers forums, where it showed me a page written :

The thing is, I had opened the questions and answers forum before signing in and then signed in on other page of this website. Seems the Q&A forum didn't recognize that i had already signed in. When i refreshed the Q&A page and then updated the filter, no error popped up.

It would be nice if I had control over individual blog posts in the profile page. I want to be able to decide whether or not any single post I make (or have made) will be visible to the public or not.
Currently, I'll have to either make the entire message board as public or private.
[Added] For instance, a blog post could be kept private until it is ready to be published. [/Added]

If you make it private, then how will anybody see it? or is that just a dumping ground for you to save stuff for your eyes only?

The threads that I mark as private on my blog page should be viewable by me only.

And who says that blogging (or rather ALL blog posts) MUST be public? Ever heard of the term diary, or "private journal"?
Do you know that ALL blogging providers allow you to mark blog posts that you choose as private? If CP provides a member blog, why should it not provide this option as well?

Errrm the meaning of the word says, kinda intrinsic to the concept of blogging. OK you might restrict a blog to a limited membership, but this isn't what you asked for.
Rajesh R Subramanian wrote: Ever heard of the term diary, or "private journal"
Yes, neither of these is a blog, hence the different term.
Rajesh R Subramanian wrote: Do you know that ALL blogging providers allow you to mark blog posts that you choose as private?
Private to a group you allow: You can create a social group on CP to acheieve the same end.
Rajesh R Subramanian wrote: If CP provides a member blog, why should it not provide this option as well?
CP isn't a blog provider, it is a dev site that provides some blogging capabilities. I think that turning it into an online store of private solipsitic musings will just burn server resources without benifiting the community.

No, I'm not talking about a "private group" or any such thing at all. You should read a post and understand it before replying to it.
I think I can go on with you, responding to each and every childish "response", but I'm not willing to entertain you. Fortunately it doesn't matter whether you understand it at all, because you just don't have to as you aren't the one who makes the decisions here.

That's a giant load of crap when self-appointed "elite" people take the stance on deciding what's good for this site as a whole and what's not. I'll leave it for Chris to decide whether or not to have this feature, but I've been suggesting features and reporting bugs for years, off which a significant portion was accepted and worked upon.

The arguments brought against you were very reasonable. Responding in this manner is conduct that will not be condoned. Your actions will not sit well with the larger part of the community.

There's only one argument that was made against my suggestion - providing this feature will "load" the servers. And I do not agree with that at all. It was a childish argument made, because he had to make some point against my suggestion.
I've made suggestions in the past to improve the blog feature that the site offers. This included being able to make an entire blog private, allowing or disallowing members to vote (or reply), etc.,
Hiding a particular post should not be such an incredibly tough task to do, especially when there are similar features implemented (hiding the blog itself as a whole).
It also isn't a particularly "reasonable" thing for someone to tell me that my suggestions will do nothing but waste the resources. It is hypocrytic horse crap, because they're not the ones who designed this system (neither do they know how this system works, or what would waste the resources). Especially when they are not the deciding authority and when they seem to have limited knowledge of what I'm talking about.

Yeah, now you'll resort to personal attacks, and you think that *I* should be the one to cool down, and take medicines?
And oh, you have a nice day too, you sick old fart.

When I typed that, I was sure that some people may laugh reading it. But I swear to God, I wasn't expecting *you* to be among them. 
But hey, I'm glad you laughed anyways.

Hi, I was browsing recent C# unanswered questions, and came across a question reported as having been updated 22 hours ago[^].
Opening the question, I find it was asked in March, 2009, and the most recent solution offered in Dec. 2010, and the most recent comment made on a solution made in Dec. 2010.
There's no visual evidence of any editing, or change. The person listed as the updater's name does not appear anywhere in the question, as solution provider, or commentor.
Wondering what the person listed as having updated the question actually did, and why this question has been 'propelled' into the status of "recent."
thanks, Bill

I am using CodeProject for just 5 months.With in 5 months it helps me very much.
It is a ocean of knowledge and Teacher for solutions.It is best site for Developers.
I want to suggest that there should be a container in this website that can contains questions (that are not answered).Ecah user can see their container of questions.
Benifits of container:
>User does not need to search question.
>User just click a button and add question in their own container.
You can give the name to the container as question BASKET.

How would that help anybody?
If you are looking to answer questions, then there is already a "Unanswered" list: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Answers/List.aspx?tab=unanswered[^]
If you are looking to ask a question, then surely searching first is simply a good idea? If the question has been asked, then perhaps that will give you the answer straight away.
You already have two lists under your profile: "My Questions" and "My Answers" so how is adding more lists going to help?
