For that you justly earned yourself another one vote from me!

And from me - without looking at his posts in GIT, if his attitude is the same as his post here, I can guess why he gets down votes...

Glad at least you didn't put URGENTZ in your message.

And what, precisely, do you expect Chris to do? While it sucks to be downvoted, and have a univoter targetting you, running to mommy and daddy to sort the nasty bully out.

I looked at your posts and, apart from a lame joke, there was nothing that warranted blatting. But the nub is, sometimes you post something and you'll be blatted on every post in 'revenge'. It's no big deal, your rep may bounce up and down but the general trend is up, so you're respected.
That said MM's got a big one and everyone thinks he's a [redacted].

I think there are some idiot platinum members who are not able to recognize the up vote/ down vote icons.
I spent about 3 hours and moved some 20 articles/posts/tips & tricks from my personal blog to code project and all of them were down voted ; even before getting a single up vote; within 12 hours of posting it. All the articles were genuine, code was tested in my own website and in production now.
So I went ahead and removed all of my articles/posts/tips & tricks. Thats the best one can do.

First of I like it a lot.
Should be very helpful in those long threads.
But it does seem a bit buggy tho.
Can't really find a certain way to reproduce it but from time to time the hint stays in the screen although I'm reading a completely different thread.
Other times the hint is to long after switching threads.
I even had a occasion where the hint was actually displayed over the text of a message I was reading.
I think it has something to do with moving the mouse over to the menu on the left and then opening a different message.
(Speed has something to do with it to, move to the left then move to the message fast and click fast and move to the left again)
Even with the few bugs it's nice to see this implemented 
[EDIT]
Reproducible way for the bug
Open this message.
Then move to the next with the mouse wait till the hint appears.
Click the 'R' of the first reply and don't move the mouse.
The hint keeps displayed at the same length as previous and will only 'reset' itself once you'v moved your mouse over another subject.

I was going to say "well done!" for this as well.
I haven't seen any problems, but it does make it a lot easier to work out what is a response to whom.
A big "Good Job!" to the CP team for this!

I really do like the "tree hints".
Awesome stuff.
Does not seem to be working in IE8 yet though.
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

Working on it. It's a relatively easy fix. (Though the IE team could make it a *very* easy fix if they chose)

Yep seems to be fixed ( at least I can't reproduce it now so... )
Even nicer now.
Good job

I was wondering why do in order to get into the back room one has to follow all that path...
I'm sure that this is something that was done by design and for one or more reasons...
Thank you!

That's because it is ... the Back Room.

What path? It's a menu item on the left here.

erm... yes... I did know it... I wasn't going through Questions and answers -> All message boards -> go down and ...
So I wanted to know if all of you were concentrated or not... I'm going back to work now... 
Well, so problem solved... in fact it is not as hidden as I thought initially...
My 5...

The Backroom is a room where I can vent, within reason, and not suffer air-strikes to my reputation. It can get raunchy, heated, and sometimes comical in there but the forum was designed to put posts that probably shouldn't even be on the site.
As everyone has already mentioned, the link for all the forums is on the left hand side but you already knew this.

Hi,
First, I'd like to say that I totally like CP like it is ! It's an invaluable tool, a first-class resource, and a 'playground' in the best sense of that word.
And, I don't know if what I'm about to describe is really a 'problem' in any sense of that word.
As I read in the Lounge, as I have time, I sometimes come across a 'dialogue' like this one[^], in this case between two members, DefWebServer (OP), and Jimmy Ropes, where I find some very valuable technical discussion and interaction ... in this case some links to resources are also presented.
Of course, I can bookmark this thread, and return to it later; I can bookmark the "member profile" of any poster for later use, etc.
The 'issue' for me is that the sheer volume of messages on the Lounge often precludes my going back more than one or two days, and I wonder how many 'gems' of technical information worth preserving (to me) 'submerge' in the spate of long sequences of the type that are most frequent on the Lounge.
So, the question I pose is simply: is there a way to 'hoist' certain content out of the Lounge based on finding it has technical content of 'enduring' value ?
I'm aware, as I write this, of course, of the issue that what is relevant to me at any given time may not be relevant to you, but, I invite you to consider the case where somehow I would be able to access the 'top picks' of highly rated CP members from the Lounge.
For example: it would be very valuable to me to access a list of links that reflect Lounge posts which Pete O'Hanlon found of value, technically.
Another possibility: consider a special rating on Lounge posts, in addition to the 1~5 scale, a rating that would imply the content should be 'hoisted' somewhere for 'posterity' in a technical sense.
I'd like to stress I am not complaining about the Lounge, but just pointing out an issue where I feel CP could gain value by allowing members to share the Lounge content they find of more than passing interest.
Meanwhile, I will continue to 'vote-up' content I really enjoy, and find useful, and to publicly thank those who engage in what to me is 'exemplary' dialogue.
best, Bill
