Hello!
I find it fairly frustrating how much load time is involved with following a thread, and in fact, just viewing a page of posts. What happened to the flat view which I saw here a couple weeks ago where you would see all the text of all the messages on the screen.
I like flat view, as you can do all the d-loading in one go - especially good if you are planning on reading every message, But I can see how that could be annoying for some if they only wanted to read some.
I think being able to expand one thread to flat mode would be great! You could load up a page in preview, see which thread interests you, and then expand all the messages in that thread in one go...
Keep up the great work!
Thanks,
James

Hi James,
Flat view had some problems so it's been replaced with the preview mode. Uwe and I are working on a way to display single threads in a more user friendly way.

I don't know what flat view looked like, but I would like to see something like the preview mode only with 10 lines or so per message.
You should also consider downloading all the messages at once and only show them when clicked on.
Anyway, you need to do something to reduce the load on your server, I get the "HTTP Server busy" error much too often.
Keep up the good work!

It would be great if you could add an image to the forum so that it is clearer what you are talking about.
I guess this would require an upload feature and some html in the text body as has been done with the smily faces

Unfortunately images will really kill bandwidth. It's easier just to offer to mail people pics and code if they need it.

Hello Mr. Maunder,
I am a frequent freelance article contributor to "Visual C++ Developer," a magazine published by Pinnacle Publishing. Their URL is: http://www.pinpub.com/vcd/, and the editor is Kate Gregory (kateg@pinpub.com).
I want to let you know that I drew attention to your site, The Code Project, in my article that has just come out for June, so expect a little jump in the traffic that has been by your site.
Thank you,
Brian Hart

Hey Brian,
Thank you very much! I look forward to reading June's issue.
cheers,
Chris

What an ugly crypto-commercial 
You charge A LOT for your "Visual C++ Developer,", naturally you drew 'attention' to this site and other free sources...
I consider your post as a spam, sorry

Hi Chris,
what do you think of putting all contents of the CodeGuru on a CD-ROM which regular update cycles, e.g. 3 month ?
I know there is a lot of stuff behind the scenes you might want to hide from the public, but it would be a realy great thing to have a CD, setting one or two DSNs, maybay registering some DLLs and then be able with one's own PWS/IIS surfing "offline" the CodeProject.
Is this something you can think about ?
Greetings from Germany, Tom

Is there any way to get the AspForum.dll source? Or a copy of AspForum.dll that works on MS SQLServer.
I am trying to convert the forums to use SQL Server instead of Access, but have a problem with the ReadArticles Method seems to have some "#" in it for use with dates in Access. Well that doesn't work for SQL Server, instead I need to replace them with "'". Of course I can't do that without the source code. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Levi

An SQLServer version is certainly in the works.
|
|
|
|

Great I am anxiously looking forward to it.
Oh, and BTW I am SQL Server DBA so if you need any help let me know.

Hi Oz,
We already have this - if it's not working for you then can you send me a note letting me know what browser and OS you are using?
Thanks,
Chris

I Love this site but when I do searches for
keywords via AltaVista, Excite, and Google I
notice that I don't seem to get any hits on
CodeProject. I only get that "other"
Code???? site.
For example, do a search on:
+CGridCtrl +maunder
Only Google has one fairly relevant match.

here some of them (sorry i not listed in all items into this discussion, see next why):
- why after any item expanding it must (re)load about 35kB? (without pictures!)
- in (next) message setting/creating remembers my name and mail but not remembers my password
- why is not possible to see list of (more) discussions i'm intetrested in one? sometimes he same can be in general, sometimes in vc++
- is possible to add passoword for layer modify own message in discussion, what about article?
- more expanded items/subtree in one click, at once (personal option)
- keeping message and replyes at one page (not at prev/next, little bit ignoring message per page)
- another already sent to webmaster directly (personal profiles, mail notifications about whole sub-trees and not to my messages only, ...)
t!

1) Uwe and I have been talking about ways of reducing the time it takes to view messages. Leave this with us.
2) We store info in cookies (at present). There is no way I will risk our readers' security by storing passwords in cookies.
3)-4) Not sure what you are asking here...
5) This is an option we've been talking about
6) Tricky
7) Yep - got this list and will add these new items to it 
Thanks Tibor!

ad 2)
is not possible f.e. to rememmber password in memmory untill browsers end?
ad 3)
you have more discussions, i want to check (into my pesonal profile) i'm interested in general and vc++
i will see it as a one discussion so i do not need to browse thru two ones (when i do not want)
ad 4)
i know how to modify my discussion message but i did not found how to do the same with own-articles
(maybe i looked wrongly)
ad 6)
but now you can have reply at another page than question
(maybe parameter main messages per page or similar (or ignore this comment))

Hello,
great job your doing! But I've said this already once I guess. One more suggestion I have: I think it would be practical to offer a version of an article description in text format for printing / saving.
Just a thought.

I've already added a "View Printable version" tag in each article (see the bottom right hand corner of article headers). If anyone knows a quick and easy way to filter out HTML tags to produce plain text then part two of your suggestion is easy.
- Chris

To strip out HTML tags, off the top of my head...
perl -p -e 's/<\/?[a-z]+.*?>//goi'
I'm a newbie Perl programmer, so please debug this before putting it into production. 
|
|
|
|
|
Stripping tags is easy - it's the formatted text output that is the trick. For instance,
<h1>Heading</h1>This is a paragraph
Should come out:
Heading
This is a paragraph
but by stripping tags we'd get
Heading This is a paragraph
I'll check out the DOM as per Eriks suggestion
|
|
|
|
|
Hmm... The DOM does that for us, why create a needless server side program or use Perl?
hmm. I'd attach a sample file if I could, but I guess I can just type it in here.
<SCRIPT langauge="javaScript">
function WithoutTags()
{
var wnd = window.open("");
wnd.document.all(3).innerText = window.document.all.withtags.innerText;
}
</SCRIPT>
<SPAN ID="withtags">
<IMG SRC="http://www.codeproject.com/images/cplogo.gif">
<BR>
<B>Hello</B>
<BR>Would you like to see more?
<BR>
<FONT COLOR="RED">This is more colored text in tags</FONT>
</SPAN>
<BR>
<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="View Without Tags" onclick="return WithoutTags();">
I have tested this and it works. just don't F5 in the new window and you are safe. Then file/saveas and save as a text file. Done, no server hit and it's painless to do in the client.
-Erik
