Ah... Sorry, I misread your question.
There are currently "9396 online" - That would be one heck of a large list. I recon it averages about 8000 at any one time.

When a thread has more posts than can be shown on one page, clicking the Next button will produce an empty list. For example, go to this Console Application thread and click the View Thread link. Now if you click the Next button, the rest of the posts do not show up, but rather an empty list does.

I've used a component available via codeproject.com in some coursework (we're encouraged to do so as long as all appropriate accreditation is given), and I'd just like to know the licensing issues surrounding this - is the source code available open source(GPL?) etc?
I cannot find any of this information anywhere on the site. Any advice on this would be gratefully received

Look at the article submission page. The submitter has to agree to a BSDesque license. To answer your next three questions, yes it should be easier to find, and yes a more formally explicit licence would be an improvement, no you and I aren't the only people who feel that way but we've never managed to convince the powers that be to change it.

Excellent, thanks for the info, Dan! (Never thought to pretend I was going to submit stuff to see if the information was there.) Maybe this will help someone in future if they have the same question, you know, as a last resort, search the forum to see if it's been asked before.
Thanks again

you mean like you did? This comes up every month or two.

Oh, er  Sorry in that case
Seriously though, I did do a search for info on this forum (license, gpl, all the keywords I could think of off the top of my head)... having gone back to the search function I believe I was only searching the Suggestions forum though. Ooh, actually I also searched using the horizontal search box for the entire size (under the little green guy at the top)... only relevent thing I could see was an article called "Why Open Source?", which explained about GPL/open source stuff... but didn't provide me with any concrete answers...

On the list of posted messages, here for instance, to be precise[^] would it be possible to display next to each entry if the thread has been answered -- or the numbers of answers (if it makes sense, of course) ?
Thanks a lot,

Chris, did you make a change in how the forum displays messages? Or is just me? I am using IE6 with the view set to message view. It use to be that when I clicked on a message the message would display at the top of the browser window so that the links to the messages below it were always visible. Now the top of the message remains static (or srcolls up slightly if the message is too long) so that I have to scroll the window to get to the next link.
I prefer the old way. The new way is rather annoying

Yes, the behaviour was changed because so many people were complaining about messages jumping around and their browser history being filled with junk from message clicks.
I'm trying to find a balance here...

I have to agree with PJ, the messages seem to jump even more. :shurgs:

Ok, maybe with time I will get used to it.
You cannot please all the people all the time, so maybe this is one of those times

Hi PJ,
I am one of the people who complained about the messages jumping at the top of the browser, because I like reading messages in the middle of the screen, so I always found myself clicking on a link, scrolling the message down to the middle of the screen, clicking on the answer, scrolling, etc... So the fact that the messages were jumping became really annoying for me.
I must be honest and say that the new way tends to be even worse, since opening a message most often comes with a scrolling up (or slight up and down again to display the entire message), and I harldy ever get the message to stay static, so seasickness is not far away 
I think it is not easy to make everyone happy, hope Chris finds a good compormise.

To me, annoying is having to move my mouse to collapse a message i've just clicked to expand. Expanding a small branch in a tree control doesn't make it scroll - i can click once to see the leaves, click again to close it, move the mouse cursor 12px down, and repeat. The forum behavior builds one small annoyance on another, until by the end of the day i'm wishing for an anthropomorphic Forum Personification that i could corner and strangle. This anger and frustration isn't good, it isn't healthy, PJ - I crave consistency and order. Why must your stubborn resistance to change stand in the way of my health and wellbeing?!
(eh, i suppose it's a matter of taste. If you tend to not close the message you're looking at before opening the next one, then my way won't work well at all. Solution: everyone needs to become more like me. )

Hi!
Faced a bug on your site: when you wish to see the "articles by this author", every single article (for every single author) show up under ".NET / Active Directory" category.
Best regards,
Dmitry.
Don't worry, be happy  )

All fixed

Is it possible to show how many users are viewing a forum in addition to the total online users?
