Hi everyone!
Faced one problem with the "Last updates" (link is on the main page).
Yesterday my article ("Bridge design pattern with JavaScript") was updated, but it is not listed on the 20th of December on the "last updates".
(and it is not for the 1st time I see this).
Best regards,
Dmitry.

I'll look into this.

The problem is: the default "category" which is shown in Last Updates is "C++/MFC". I think it should be "All Topics".
?
Best regards,
Dmitry.

I don't know if this is just on my end, but the "Suggestions" link on the Message Boards tab is going to the mobile development section.
I'm using FF2.0

Can you do a Ctrl+F5? I've tested here with all browsers and it's fine for me...

Problem is fixed.
What a weird error though....
Maybe CP is getting a bit too old.

Quite often the page will load but get stuck on one last picture -- http://content.ipro.com/images/pixel.gif/sometrackinginfo....
This prevents the right hand side of the green menu bar above from loading. As that is the only way to get to some of the forums (i.e. the Vista one) it means I have to constantly refresh the site until I get lucky. This is very frustrating.
Is there any chance you could do something about that image (it either times out trying to load, or eventually loads after about thirty seconds). The script that populates the menu doesn't run until after all the images have downloaded.

I've sent this to one of our guys to see if he can hassle our auditing firm to see what's going on.
The pixel is there so we have independant traffic numbers since no one these days believes a website's own internal figures

(BTW, I'm using IE7 if that turns out to be significant.)

Just click Stop or hit Escape. Since the Javascript for the menu is already loaded, the menu will show up even though the pixel gif hasn't loaded yet. That's what I do when I get this problem. This way you don't have to hit Refresh multiple times.

If we delete a blog message, will the thread be deleted as well?
If not, I think this would be a nifty feature, and should be enabled for regular forum posts as well. If the original message gets deleted, the thread gets deleted as well. This might help solve the dangling thread problem we see here so often.

Just your message.
The entire blog system we have needs to be rewritten.

Yeah, I've got lots of dead threads on mine that need cleaning up

It would be nice to have an Architecture section, just to discuss about architecture, patterns, good practices, etc.

Now... if we only could have a design forum...

No one would use it because you can't "copy-paste" design.

so that's what rearranged half the forums. Just after I finally reprogrammed my brain around the shuffle caused by the vista one.

Let's say I have a rather large app where I need to add a specific (and complex) feature. Instead of posting a detailed question in one of the forums, how about if we had an area where we could post something that looks more like an article, and like an article, it had it's own message set. This way, we could post our detailed question and be able to track it better than we can our forum posts.
We should also be able to delete these items when they've served their purpose, or the site would auto-delete them after X number of days/weeks/months.
I was thinking our blog entries here might work, but you can't delete those (or can you?).
Finally, these wouldn't be a request for specific coding help as much as it would be for design or implementation questions.

I think what would be better is to simply allow a subscription to an entire thread so that you were alerted to all messages posted. On top of this add the ability to upload files and images and you would have something that does essentially what you are after, no?

That sounds like a very good idea,
but maybe you could then have a page with a list of "subscribe-able" threads.

That would be a Very cool feature!

Seems like that could end up being rip for abuse. 
I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:

I think it would be more appropriate as a blog feature. It's also meant to be a temporary item instead of being treated like a normal message thread.
Some suggested characteristics (the "user" is the person who owns the blog):
0) Allow the user to specify a maximum lifetime of the thread (no more than say, 30 days), at which point the site would automatically delete the thread/files/images, but would create/send a transcript to the user.
1) Allow the user to manually delete the blog entry if it serves it's purpose before the specified expiration date.
2) Allow the user to extend the lifetime of the entry ONE TIME for no more than 15 days.
3) Allow the user to delete inappropriate/unwanted messages
4) Allow the user to prevent named users from contributing (kind of a ban filter for people that constantly make a nuisance of themselves)
5) No voting allowed (it's pointless in this scenario)
6) Allow the user (or anyone else) to download a transcript of the thread at any time during the lifetime of the thread.
7) When a user posts one of these items, it is exposed to the rest of CP's members on the front page, kind of like new articles are handled.
