CodeProject is the parent site, but Chris has a number of aliases registered that lead here, codetools.com being one of them. Navigate directly to www.codeproject.com and log in as you would to codetools.com. If you have cookies enabled and click the appropriate boxes on the popups, you won't have to log in again. You're correct that the Lounge code acts differently - I believe that a while back there was a filter installed to prevent posting by anonymous posters in the Lounge to block a lot of spam and trolls.

Sounds like a bug. I'll look into it.

I bookmark CP articles in my browser, not through the CP system. Often I will spy an interesting article, bookmark it and then want to come back and read it later.
However often those are useritems, not yet edited or assigned to the right category.
Often between bookmarking the article and going back to read it, it has been edited and moved.
Now most of the time the CP system does a fine job in telling you "No such page, but it looks like you were looking for this article".
But sometimes it does not and then I am left to hunt for the article. The search is not always fruitful in this regard.
So, why not leave behind the useritem asp file and have it redirect to the now edited article?

That is a good one too, so long as the "english" folder and filename structure is not replaced by meaningless numbers in the URLs.
The UID would need to be in the title so that when you bookmark the article it is retained.

Because it's messy. The article ID system is something we'll be putting in place, but unfortunately articles do sometimes move around (especially when authors wish to change an article's categorization).

Yeah, folders piling up with ancient useritem files just redirecting.
One could have one of those new fangled ASP.NET HTTPHandler routines going (or an old fashioned IIS handler). No physical file but if the requested URL matches a "moved" item in a database table then redirect to the new location.
Just musing really, nothing serious.

I just saw mention (on another board) about scroll bugs introduced in the latest IE hotfixes. But of course I can't find the KB article now......

Just use the Mike's CP SearchBar. His Hotkey Menu makes it so you never have to scroll when posting ever again.

Yeah, but Ctrl+Shift+Space is so much easier to reach with my clumsy hands.

Yup, I noticed the same thing starting to happen sometime this week or last I'm running the exact same version of I.E. that you are.

I'm currently browsing the forums with 'Last Day' as the filter.
Sometimes you come across a message and would like to see the context of the message as it relates to the orignal thread.
However when you click 'View Thread', it only shows the parts of the thread that fit the filter. I think it would be a lot more user-friendly if it showed the entire thread instead. It would at least stop me from having to switch between filters on a regular basis.

How about adding a date field to the list so that you know when a file was added to your book marks. This way you would now how long ago you book marked an article.

No "this feature this bug" this time 
It's amazing that 3 1/3rd years before, you you guys chose a website design that scaled very nicely - even if the scaling had to be done in long and ready nights I guess.
Would be nice, at your birthday, to have a rundown of CP "Tech Milestones".
How many users were there at this or that time? What changes, rewrite happened, when? How many hamsters run the servers?

This would require a book or two to get it all in there.

I have my message board options set to One Month for the date option. Whenever I post a message in the Lounge it redirects me back to the lounge page but it sets my date option to All. It's not a problem, it would probably just take a bit of load off the SQL server if it didn't do this. I don't know if this happens to anyone else.
The man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone he can blame it on.
If you tell a man there are 300 billion stars in the universe, he'll believe you. But if you tell him a bench has just been painted, he'll have to touch it to be sure.

...I don't think the "Understanding and Improving the Design of Your .NET Application" ad is supposed to be in the sidebar - it looks like a banner to me.

A few times recently after posting a reply, the window that opens afterwards which should contain my post and the others from the thread has left me at weird locations.
Just now in the soapbox, I ended up viewing posts from Sep 14th 2001 about terrorist jokes. Now they may have been good, but they are a little dated. I think Roger Wright has also mentioned this happening to him. So it doesn't look like an isolated incident.
