Yes, up to the moment you have hunderd or more bookmarks; then you will start complaining
about insufficient searching, sorting, classifying facilities...

Since yesterday, sometimes the width of side-bar frame (where we see the links for "Monthly Competition", "We're hiring", and "CHAPTERS", etc.) gets crazy.
The width of items in the frame is as usual, but the width of the frame increases. So we see extra 2 cm wide spare space.
And the horizontal scroll bar shows up!

Maxwell Chen,
This is IE 6, right?
What OS you are on?
And can you reproduce the steps, when this bug happens?
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Elina
Life is great!!!
Enjoy every moment of it!

IE 7, version 7.0.5730.13,
Windows XP with SP2,
There is no specific steps to reproduce it. It just happens randomly.
And, last time when it happened, it kept that way after I clicked VC++ forum link to refresh.
Not working, so I switched to the Lounge. Layout problem was still there.
So I closed IE window.
The next time I opened another IE window to visit CP, it did not happen though.

The site speed gets faster now. I guess that the new code is running now! 
Will it be helpful that I send you a .mht (compressed webpage) file for analysis? I just saved one copy of this forum!
It happens quite often right now, including the homepage of CP. But it is not allowed to save a copy of the homepage.

We know what it looks like, we just haven't had a chance to nail it down.

I've seen that too. From what I can tell, the only thing in common that I've noticed is that it's happening when attached to the Web10 server.
BTW, the other times I've had problems (error pages and things like that), it's been Web10 also.
Set 'em straight. Smack it with a hammer, then gracefully reboot.
Hope this helps.

I am using GMail. Recently I found that the CodeProject banner picture in the forum email notifications becomes nonsecure. When I click on the notification emails, IE displays a message box for:
This page contains both secure and nonsecure items.
Do you want to display the nonsecure items?
If I choose Yes, the CodeProject Bob picture displays.
If I choose No, the picture is blocked.

The CodeProject Daily News (The Insider picture) do not have such problem.

Hello CP team!
Just noticed that it's possible to navigate over the actual setted "Date Filter" (in my case one month) by using the "Messages Posted" of a members profile.
Good so far!
But if you now try to navigate to the "Prev" page for example, it ends up jumping to first page.
It took me quite a while to find out that it's because of my "Date Filter" settings.
I think an information about the crossed limit, would help in this situation.
All the best,
Martin

Surely it must be easy to catch these, we how 2 submission today.

Wow, I was unaware that could happen...till I got nasty emails from readers. Some people need more fiber!
It looks like my acct was abused somehow to open empty articles. What's the point in an empty article?? I guess someone's having fun. I changed my password and other acct particulars and deleted the empty articles in my name -- not sure if that will help anything or not...

Cool, thanks! One more related issue. Links in some articles (to other articles) are broken for a similar reason. ie:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/vista/VGFileDialogs.asp[^]
Add an "x" and all is well with 'em. Asp references to old article locations is redirected fine. Asp references to articles in the new locations isn't.

I've added a TODO item that one of our devs should be able to get to in the next week or so. It'll involve going through all 19,000 articles and checking links but hey - what else are you going to do with the weather so bad in Toronto? (He says, safely and smuggly back home in Australia for a few weeks )

This is a suggestion made by someone else in the lounge, but I didn't see it show up here, so I thought I'd drop it here. We have the swear word filter. Do you have the ability to add words to the list?
The amount of text-speak here is growing and growing. If you can simply add 'plz,' and other common ones, when their posts gets completely ***'d out, they will get the point and learn how to use the entire qwerty keyboard. I see this as a pretty easy fix to a terrible problem.
I'm going to become rich when I create a device that allows me to punch people in the face over the internet.

Maybe I wasn't clear. When someone types a swear word, the word is replaced with asterisks. I was suggesting that was could add various text speak words to the list, and they will get filtered out. Just using a system already in place to combat the problem.
