I'm sure there is a design/architecture reason for these problems
Why do I get a notification email when I post something to my own message board?
Why does it say 'Personal Page for Member 11599' rather than 'Personal Page for Michael P Butler"
Just curious

Because not everyone has entered their name, and because people continually change their name and I was lazy when I wrote the tie-in code that links profiles with messages. My dirty secret is out

Greets all,
I was just going thru articles and realised that I had no way of know - due to my bad memory at times - if I had bookmarked an article before or not. I was thinking that it would be nice if we could have a small icon in the header section that indicates whether or not this article is in the members bookmark collection.
Would this be an easy thing to do Admins?

Why is it that if I want to print one of the many great articles on CodeProject, I always have to first switch to the print view, and then actually print the page??
If I click on the "Print Version" for an article, it's only because I want to print it - why can't CodeProject start the printing right away? That'd be the way I expect it to work (like on many other sites, e.g. MSDN and others).

I'll have to disagree. If I click printer friendly, it's because I want to read the page without the adverts and menus and stuff, and *then* print it if I want to. MSDN does this wrong IMO, and it drives me nuts.
The other reason is that if you click it by accident, you want to be able to push stop or back in the browser, instead of waiting for the print dialog to pop-up and click cancel.

I hate that. The print dlg shouldn't appear until i hit the "print" toolbar button.
Now, if Chris wanted to do a "print media" CSS for CP...

I usually want my clicketies to look like this[^] i.e. plain text appears in the post, not the URL.
So instead of having to clickety the text and then go back and manually edit the URL, have a clickety button that asked me what URL I wanted to use and wrapped the selected text with the appropriate <A> tags.

It seems that the current behavior pretty much does what you're asking for already, since the text for the link is selected after clicking on the "link[^]" button, so you can just start typing your link text?
I started using full URLs in my posts (both here and elsewhere) when a friend pointed out that the URLs for my links got lost when he printed out pages or copied the text to another file... the current behavior seems to be the best of both worlds.

Sigh. I'm obviously not thinking outside the square. I always typed in the text, selected the bit I want to convert into a URL, made it into a clickety and then went back and fixed up the 2 URL's. Which is the more natural way, in my defence...

A quicker change is to paste the link, convert it, and edit the 1 text. My 1 beats your 2!

Could the row of formatting buttons on message posts have their foreground color explicitly specified?
I ask this because I use an inverted color scheme, where buttons have a dark blue background and white text, and it appears that it's causing the formatting buttons to be invisible

The bit in the Lounge subject where it says: "No programming questions please" needs to be in big, size 72, colourful, bolded, flashing, possible spelled out by naked women font. I just think there are some people out there you're just not reaching 
Despite the high cost of living, it remains popular.

Maybe the Lounge "Submit" button should actually read "I declare that this post is not a programming question, and allow Bob's Heavies to come over and teach me a Hard Lesson if it is"
Or it should popup a javascript alert after you click it, but before it posts back saying:
"Is this a programming question?"
[Yes] [No]
Because nobody ever reads message boxes, most people will just click "Yes", and we can stick the post in some "General Programming Questions" forum instead

 The General Programming forums are going to have a message saying "If this is NOT Programming related, please post this in the Lounge."

And add a $10 fine to that and we can eventually get the Aircraft Carrier[^] we've always wanted

Well they would probably forget any programming question they had...

Is there an RSS feed for new articles on CodeProject.com?

Hi all,
See Levent S. 's thread in here: http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/csppleds.asp#xx614311xx
I think his idea will be great...
|
|
|
|
|
That link didnt work for me, but I know what he is talking about, and for those who don't want to go searching, I'll explain.
Levent's suggestion was the ability to create a "Subscription to your favorite author" of sorts, so that you could be notified by codeproject when your favorite author(s) post new articles, and or make modifications to existing articles. I think this would be Great, because there are some really great Article Writers on Code Project.
Chris? How about it?

The forum search engine doesn't show us how many hits you've got. That means unknown Next-clicks...

Does knowing you have 100 or 300 or 50 hits make a difference? I wrestled with this while writing the scripts. I can add it back and incur a slight perf hit if necessary.
cheers,

Hm,a hit counter may not be necessary, but perhaps if you could make it show Page 1/n where n is total pages. You do show which page I'm on, but you could add how many is left? Understand my point?
