This is a good suggestion Vilas. I've always wanted some means to skip 2-3 pages (even if the posts would keep moving a little depending on the activity at the moment).

Hi Nish,
How are you? Hope you are fine there. Missing India? By the way, thank you very much for supporting my suggestion.
Best regards,

I would like to be able to change the last-visited-date manually. The reason is: if I look on CP at all, then the last-visited-date is changed to the current date/time, even if I'm only wanting to check to see if someone has replied to one post.
When I'm short on time, this makes me have to choose between:
1)not checking the forum
2)taking the time to check all forums
3)not knowing which posts are new since the last time I checked everything.
Furthermore, if I just check in to view an article, the new forum posts are then counted as old because the last-visited-date is updated.
Of course, you would certainly want the last-visited-date to be automatically updated, but it would be nice to be able to set it yourself if you wanted to.

May be... last visited time/date can be made for eah forum(s) separate!

Sometimes words and code are not enough.
For example, I have been working a z-buffer algorithm
just for the hell of it. I almost got it working.
I rotate a brightly color cube and for the most
part my z-buffer algo. works. But when certain sides
of the cube face in different ways a scanline fails
to render and when the cube is rotate 180 degrees the
top side "bleeds" through.
If I could post a screen shot of these problems I feel
that someone expereinced in graphics programming would
take on look and say something like, "Oh you are
using floor() when you should be using ceiling() when
rounding your doubles" or something like that.
Does this make any sense?
Maybe if I could post a screen shot It would be more clear

The ![]() tag is disabled so that people can't put pr0n or really big images in their post. I wouldn't mind the former, but as a modem user the latter would tick me off.

It's possible to post images without the ![]() tag. I certainly won't abuse this capability though.

Well how would I post a small screen shot?

Well I don't know if I should tell you, as I don't want someone else to post something inappropriate. Would one of the forum admins tell me whether it's alright to tell?

(Obviosuly) it can be done but that particular loophole will probably get closed, so it's not something we encourage.

I'm not an admin, but I consider it an exercise best left to the reader how to go about it. There are loopholes in everything, but it's better for all if the tricks of the trade are left to those who can figure it out. Most of the time these are the same folks who can be depended upon to use the knowledge responsibly. When they don't, and the admins close the door, we all lose a feature that is sometimes (but rarely) appropriate and fun.

What would you say if I were to post the question as a "Article"?
I am afraid that I get a bunch of messages telling me that
"sometimes scanlines don't get rendered" and "the top bleeds through"
instead of suggestions on how to correct what I am doing wrong.

I was a afraid of that.
Thanks for clarifying the matter though.

It will be immediately deleted. You're more than welcome to provide links to your own homepage with a screenshot uploaded there.

If its really that important to you, you can get one of those horrid geocities or tripod accounts to make links to.

Seems like I get a little older every day...;)
I've been changing things up a bit lately in my desktop environment... Along with some visual styles I'm also running at a much higher resolution than in the past, but with Extra Large fonts turned on. This gives me the best of both worlds in most applications. I can have large text where I need it and also where I want it within most app's. Anyway, most of the sites I frequent obey IE's text size option but not CP. I sure would like that.

Wouldn't that be nice? Web designers and their "carefully picked sizes"... jeez.
Paul Watson's Zoom links work well to overcome this however. (or just use the built-in feature in Mozilla)

Dude, you just got my Jaw Dropping Holy Sh*t That's Cool Award 
I don't mind the fixed font size on CP as much, because at least the font is a readable size. It's the idiots who set their font to 6 points and don't let you resize that get my goat. That's right up there on the WebPagesThatSuck-o-Meter with sticking the entire page in a fixed-width table (like 400 px wide).

I reckon a "tip of the day" would be a cool section to have. People could submit their tips and each day a new one would be displayed with the same as articles to comment on the tip etc.
