I mean, shooting from the hip by posting quips and half-baked retorts could land you in hot water. And a lot of the day-to-day exchange, as the Lounge list @ "show 50" attests at any given time in slightly over a year, is repetitious and boring outside of that window because of this "instinct" shooting.
If I were a gunslinger, I would prefer to go into a gun fight with a quick scan of the background of my opponent. So what I propose is to leverage a mettle detection by allowing me to drill down, as I would in the Q&A results after I provide a search string by using the taglist to the right of those returns.
As it stands now, I can access the curriculum vita of CPian X by following the link of his screen name and then "Q&A Answers" (sorry I should have been more specific and refered to the "magazine" from the start), that "Drill down" that has active-looking links in it to the right, is not snuffing out records in that return that aren't clicked. Click any brick in that wall and you get only a redirect to the "All Questions" sans filter.
Make it functional OR remove it from the "Q&A Answers" "Total posts by CPian X: 90210" webpage assembly.
Just say'in.

Ah ha. Gotcha.
Let me paraphrase:
When viewing the list of Questions and/or answers for a given member, the list of tags under the "Drill down" heading on the list page should drill down into only those items posted by the member.
Yes, I totally agree. I will add this.

I like the Drill down feature. It's quick and facilitates nitwit programmers like myself because it's tag-relevant. Don't have to come up with search terms.
Short of the "search in found set" irredentism the brick will do.

Latest version of Chrome on WEB03.
While in Thread View...
I am looking at the first page (in the Lounge let's say  ) and I see all the threads - no problem.
I click on the thread title to the OP and it opens ( I can still see all the other threads listed) - no problem.
Now, when you click the Bookmark link for the original post, it then isolates/refreshes the original post on it's own page (can't see other post titles in the list anymore) - problem because I then have to click the browser's back button to get back to my main list view of all the posts in that forum.
My feeling is that you should be able to click the bookmark link anywhere on any page or forum and not have your viewing experience changed in anyway.
I apologize if this was brought up before in the past or is a known issue.
Just along for the ride.

You're completely ignoring Rule #8 of JSOP's Rules of Survival:

A confirmed bug. We need to make forum bookmarks Ajaxified.

We JUST ran into this issue on the site I work on (unrelated to blogs or Code Project). Thanks!

I respect a few authors around here, and I sometimes want to view their latest content when I happen across their profile (i.e., without having to subscribe to them or something like that). When viewing an author's articles or tips/tricks, it would be nice if there were an option to sort by creation/modify date. That would also allow me to see the author's most time-relevant material (rather than outdated material).

I'm feeling a bit bitter today. I've seen too many so called "articles" and spam today and it's not even 10:00 yet. 
How about in order to post an article you have to have at least 2,000 points and have looked at 5 articles with a score of 4.00 or better, at the very least.
Maybe I'm serious about this, and maybe I'm not...

Someone needs a cookie.
In all seriousness: use the flag to report items that are substandard. The more we do this, the more we clean up the content and make the experience better for those who read after us (and hopefully others will have cleaned up the debris before we, ourselves, are firing up CodeProject in the morning)

I was thinking about something a little stronger, like a 5th of Gentleman Jack and a can of Coke.
I already use the flag. It's just very disheartening to see a constant stream of "articles", supposedly written by university grads or higher, that don't supply ANYTHING in the way of a discussion of the topic, let alone a coherent discussion. How on earth does anyone get around in this business without the ability to convery an idea to another person??

There are days when a bottle of something volatile is sorely needed in this office too.
This is all part of a larger discussion though: Just looking at those who are licensed to drive a car often fills me with despair. And fear.

And yet in Canada they made you go through a road test to get a license, ignoring 2 decades of driving experience.

Get them before they get you I always say. That way, you already know it's coming.
As far as the "articles", it's gotten to the point where you can just look at the title and know for certain what you're going to see for quality when you click on its link.

I have nearly caused at least two major traffic accidents... thankfully, other more experienced drivers were able to prevent them. My earlier mistakes are why I now am paranoid of other drivers.

There is no need to fear me Chris. Canada is a gun-free zone.

Actually, this isn't such a bad idea. I've seen an uptick in the number of spam "articles" attempting to get free advertising for various products.
