With all due respect to the work Chris has done on the search. I still prefer to use google
e.g: Search for C++ Label control[^]
Of course it doesn't get the latest articles until the spider's been round but it has never let me down yet.
Sadly, this doesn't work searching the forums (for good reasons), so your suggestions could be useful there.

Would be really handy if the message rating was displayed somewhere in the subject line of the message (next to date or user name?).

hi,
What is the difference we will get once it relocate to heading. Did you fond any use on that ?

Not relocate, just add the current vote value to the heading line instead of having to open a message to see the vote results. If it is in the header, you might spot a message with a given rating that you wish to look at and see why it is rated that way.

I agree. Perhaps wait for the three-vote threshold to be reached, but this would be nice.

I can - but that will stop a lot of people from participating. I'd rather not inconvenience everyone if it's only a couple of people (out of the million or so we get a month) who are messing things up.
I'll tweak the filters and get this rubbish stopped. Unfortunately I've just moved back to Australia so I'm unable to do any real development until I find myself a desk and get a connection faster than 33K. I'll beg a few more days patience if possible.
cheers,

I apologize in advanced if this has already been suggested and there is a reason why it is not done. But I am curious of why CP does not use sub-domains? It would be much easier if we could go to http://lounge.codeproject.com instead of http://www.thecodeproject.com/lounge.asp .
Just wondering, I am sure there are more important things in the works at CP… thanks!

What would be the big differnce? Do not see any reason for the extra work just to use a sub-domain, keeping in mind it is a web farm.

Sub domains are fairly easy to implement, most servers these days have nice GUI interface to do so. It would just be a nice touch, they are used a lot all over the web.

When people read an article or read a message on a forum they generally have two options:
1. They can vote for the article or message.
2. They can post a message to the article or as a reply to the message they read.
I propose we merge these two options.
The page where people enter messages should have an extra drop down where people can optionally enter a vote for the article or the message they're replying to. If all they want to do is vote, they can do so by leaving the Text portion of the message blank, unless they enter a vote of 1 or 2. In that case, they'll be required to enter a message, where they will (hopefully) explain the reason for the low vote. This will allow us to see who voted low for articles or messages and why. And it will allow us to reply to those people.
Another benefit of this feature is that a low voter could change his/her vote by modifying or deleting the message.

Alvaro

Yes, and the message will most likely be a garbage post. If people wanted to say why an article was poor or a forum post was crap, then they will post a message anyway - without being "forced" to.
I don't see the point of identifying low score voters. It would only lead to ill-feeling and tit-for-tat low voting. That's just human nature.

If the message is a garbage post, fine. Then we'll know it's a garbage vote -- probably some troll. But if the troll cares a little about being identified, he may think twice before giving negative votes for no good reason.

The point is not so much to identify them as it is to discourage them. Negative voting should be given to truly negative posts or articles and the person receiving it deserves to know who and why -- at least I think so.
If that leads to childish tit-for-tat crap, fine. Hey, it's human nature.

I would rather have a different messaging system for votes and a Vote History. That is, when you place a vote it has a text field to enter a comment about the vote. Anything of say a 1 or 2 would require a reason. Where you normally have a vote button in posts, you could have a History button also. When clicked it will list all the votes placed and the comments people made. It would however, not show "who" voted, only the amount voted and the remark.
This would also show exactly what ratings a post received instead of trying to figure out from the total what people have voted.
Additionally, this will not clog up the message threads with tons of junk postings.

I haven't got a email notification of a reply to a post in a few weeks now. I just went back and checked and missed dozens of replies.
Is this a non-feature now to conserve bandwidth or is it broken or...??

Nope Still works.
When you post is the "Notify me by e-mail if someone answers this message" checked and is your email correct.
If so, don't know how to help you.

The CP newsletter goes out tens of thousands of people, and unfortunately due to the HTML nature of the mail, some mail clients mark it as spam and anti-spam lists like the ones spamcop maintains adds CP smtp to their black list occasionally. So if your mail server uses any such black-list, once in a while the CP smtp would be in that list and you wouldn't receive any mails from CP, including the newsletter and message notifications. What you could do is to add CP smtp to an always-allowed list.

That's what I thought at first, but it's hit and miss, about 1 in ten times that I post a message I will be notified of replies over the course of the last few months.
Someone replied to a post of mine yesterday, no notification, the day before I got several.
I think it's a problem at the CP end.

I have noticed some problems also which did not appear to be related to the newsletter. It has drop a few, but the nature of email can also account for some, then you add the newsletter event and IPs getting blacklisted by spamcop (hit me for several days of no replies) and ....
Would be nice to have a feature that you can simply click "Recent Replies" or maybe for a date range and it will list all the replies. Then, even if you do not receive a notification, it would be easy to find the replies.

Here's an idea.
At the top of each forum are three links "FIRST PREV NEXT LAST" allowing you to navigate throught the forums. What if say between Prev and next there was a box into which you could enter the exact page number you would like to hop to.
Well what do you think?
