They are sorted in descending order of posting.
Does it add anything to know a question was posted 2 mins or 2 hrs ago? Just curious since I had the timestamp originally but didn't see the point.

nope... you get this information only if you click on the link to reach the post, but nothing indicates such a thing in the "unanswered questions" page...

IMHO this site is the best in programming area. But the forum isn't good enough for the site, therefore I sugest that you changed that strange system ( kind of desorganized and uggly ) to a common php forum ( a Bulletin Board, like myBB ). I'm not saying that the forum sucks, but if it was like those bulletin boards, would be perfect.
It's only a suggestion... Please post your opnions. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

my suggestion for the webmaster : please keep it like it is !!!
it's much more efficient when you can answer to a particuliar person, with an historical vision of the discussion rather than a flat board where everything you add if pushed at the bottom...
really Chris, you did a good job by designing these boards, useful icons for the posts, so don't break it now

agreed. Flat threading breaks down after about 10-20 posts as the topic begins to drift in seperate directions.
If you want to make a real improment to usability, provide an NNTP feed.  Otherwise, this site comes closer to meeting my ideal webforum than almost anything else I've seen on the net.

OK, aggreed but in a flat forum you could also answering quoting what the others said. That also keeps the historical vision and its more pratical...
One other thing, that system of replying to a particular person causes a kind of spam, if someone post something off-topic, and people reply it, the thread divides in other ways, and people continuing posting unrelating to the subject. I've seen this happen and screw it up the thread.

the Codeproject indentation directly tells to who you are answering to.

this could happen on any forum, even a BB-like one. this is more an administration problem (to delete what is not needed, rather than trying to cut the boards formats off.

The forums here are what keeps me around. I've tried again and again to like flat BB systems, but they just don't cut it - holding a conversation with other users becomes an exercise in insanity. For instance, on many BB systems, this awesome reply would be featured much less prominently than your post - such a thing is unacceptable!

Isn't that most annoying? (For practice, edit a web page in NotePad with Word Wrap turned OFF.) For every article in the latest C# update e-mail that I wanted to view, I had to scroll left-right to read every line in the article. In fact, even the page this message is being entered on requires horizontal scrolling. That puts a serious damper on my desire to read any of the articles. 
I run 1024x786 and maximize my browser. I prefer to keep my Favorites open on the left border of the browser, and it occupies 10-15% of the screen. One article I looked at today was wider than my screen even after I closed the Favorites bar. I gave up on that one and did not read it. Its value to me plummeted to zero. 
Of course, I could go to 1280x1024 (I think this monitor supports it) and the articles might fit, but then I wouldn't be able to read them because the characters would be too small. Still zero value. 
I see in the source for this page that at least one table width is specified at 100%, which should be scalable. Since it's not, I would guess that one of the files referenced in the standard page header is specifying a fixed width of over 1000 and preventing the rest of the page from scaling properly.
Please take a look at what you can do about this.

Nope - after the recent site update, some of the articles do scroll - it's a known issue.

I have tweaked.
If you see any edited articles that scroll please let me know.

Now this site color and design all are looking more nice than the earlier version. The Search option in each and every page in top most line of page is very good. If the search combox is having three options then that can be some more nice. For now it is having the options in combobox as "Articles" and "Authors". But if that combo box has one more option with "Message Boards" Then that can be very very good I hope.
I am not saying just it is very easy, means it is not adding one word ("Message Boards") to the combobox, It also needs some functionality. It may take some time. But this is jusy my suggistion only. Thanks for all the providers for providing this kind of very nice service using this Code Project.

I have a small problem with my profile.
I am listed as a bronze member even though I have over 2 years of membership and posted messages. Can anyone help me with this? I'd like to get to the next level.
