Hi,
For me it would be most useful if CP could somehow cache (cookie ?) my advanced search settings so they were retained across sessions.
One area I experience as a real "lack" is that I do not seem to have any option to sort search results by most recent to oldest. This often results in my doing one search where I set the start date to one year, then another where I reset the start and end dates to the previous year ... and so on ... To me an "alpha sort" is irrelevant : but being able to sort by other categories such as user rating, or number of responses would be very valuable.
It would also be "icing on the cake" for me if the result of a search of articles included current user rating, and number of responses to the article
Question : is there any way to build an "exclude" into a search query ? For example : I want use advanced search to find all articles inlcuding the words "design surface" in the title, none of which have "WPF" in the article title.
thanks, Bill

This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly."

Are blog entries supposed to be showing up in the pending articles section?

Yes, but it's up to members to only mark technical blog entries as consumable. Some blogs have their 'suck in everything' bit set (Sacha's, for example) and so today we saw a big influx where a lot of his older stuff came through.
We're cleaning it out though.

Well, I don't think blog entries belong in the pending article approval section - they're not articles...

I've been seeing this error repeatedly over the last few days, after an extended period of never seeing it.

It is with sadness that we announce the death of Hector G. Cranberry-Jones, the most loyal and longest serving of the CP Hamsters.
He fell into the heart of a server and was electrocuted.
He leaves behind a wife and 958 children.
It was this awful tragedy that forced the 'crash' of server THX 1138.
It had to go offline to be defluffed.
RIP Hector

Our thoughts are with LUH 3417, SEN 5241 and the others he left behind.

You could help out by tallying all the successful page loads, ordered by the server number (at the very bottom of each page there is a Web##). Chris could then see which server is either completely absent or insufficiently successful.

I'd assume Chris can pull that out of his logs unless informed otherwise.

We've been having this during the mornings where load has been unusually high.
Just trying to work out if this is a network issue (which we are seeing in our office) or a database issue.

Someone with the apparent name Sasha Barber has two articles in the pending article list. Sasha's articles wouldn't be listed in there.

He is real. Apparently Sacha is trying to have his blog stuff published on CP and something is going slightly wrong, see this[^].

It's Sacha
[not sure if it's pronounced as Sasha though, but it's spelt with a c before the h, and not an s]

Sacha's Blog feed just got caught in the vaccuum cleaner. We're going through and pulling out the chunky bits that got caught and rinsing off the good bits.

Hi Chris
I was looking at the group membership of the new soapbox 1.0 group and every time I click the next page instead of bringing up the next page of members it goes back to the About group and then I click on members and it's moved on to the next lot.
Regards

I don't know if this has been addressed and I am just unaware of it, but instead of having to use the sidebar slider to go up and down , could there be a Ctrl F and Ctrl B for going to the next and previous pages in a forum.
(This is really only a problem on the Laptops or Netbooks and it is easy to scroll with the moose, but a right PITA on a 'Pointing Device'.)
If there is this facility already, could I be let in on the secret?

ctrl + F = search
ctrl + B = bookmarks
(standerd settings) so another combination might be in order
I'd suggest ctrl + pgup and ctrl + pgdn
Since there is already the ctrl + up / down / left / right arrows
