When replying to a message I am able to quote from the OP's message. But when modifying a message I don't get to quote from the OP's message as it's not available.
I always have to copy from the OP's message then paste it in my modified message.

I've had that problem as well.

One of the things I find helpful on Amazon is the "customers who bought this book also bought..." section. To help someone who is looking for related articles, maybe we could have a "members who read this article also read..." at the bottom of the article.

i think they have similar implementation
for like the article titled
"ToDoList 5.0.1 - A simple but effective way to keep on top of your tasks"
have a list of
"Other popular Free Tools articles:"
just above the discussions
it is good to be important but it is more important to be good

Yes, but the list of popular articles is probably not relevant. If I was trying to find some information about tooltips, the article on ToDoList would not be helpful. But if somebody else was also doing research into tooltips, I would like to know what articles that person looked at.

i give a thought to that idea but that doesn't seems working to me
cause
1) reading an article is not significant as purchasing a book ie if anybody just browsing through articles it will be marked as read
2) if i am searching some thing i just open 10 - 20 articles which seems to be similar but only find few relevant
3) most of the people get rss feed / news letter about the new / popular articles and most of them open all of them (AFAIK)
4) while purchasing a book people look out for a recommendation / review / sample chapters or any kind of feedback they can get but i don't think anybody will do that before reading the article
the significant event here is voting / commenting
voting is already the criteria of the listing similar articles in the same group
how ever it can be done that the people who voted 5 here also vote 5 in ...

How about it is based on the vote system?

Brad,
That would too artificial right? Just from the vote perspective, I don't think we can adjudge the depth of the user's liking for the article though.

I've had many problems with the Code Project article search. When I try to search for VB.Net articles (I set the filter to remove other languages), but it still shows results for C# and C++, even though I specify. It's really annoying. Can this be fixed?

Hi there.
I think it would be nice if you add a java popup-window that is displayed when I hover over the article's link on the main page of the site, that way I could read a description of the article without having to open it led merely by my intuition, which is loosely based upon the article's title (and we know how vague that can be). Also adding the points article has accrued could be helpful.
Thanks

My thoughts, too

Okay Nishant, Java Script...and you should take it easy, not everybody here is a native English speaker. Actually, if you are not reading the content of the post and have no better comment than posting the question marks and smiley icons, they you might as well just take a hike.

Ignoring the Java - Javascript mixup, no one here likes popups. So for someone to suggest that the website should implement a popup seemed highly odd to me.

You still don't understand it...there are some cool small java scripts that would popup a small nice window with a text in it, something like a tooltip when you go over the links, so I never meant to suggest that we popup a real browser window, nobody likes that.

Even those are still annoying - though perhaps less so than a regular popup. There's a reason the website decided to allow people the option to turn off the Intellitxt ads.
Anyway, just as you have the freedom to make a suggestion, I believe I have the freedom to comment on the suggestion. That's what's been done with other suggestions too. And I just don't like this particular suggestion of yours. Eventually, it's up to the people who run the website (Chris/Dave) to decide if they want to implement it or not.
But this discussion is not meant to be personal - so please don't take it that way.

So suggestion it was...it is even under the Suggestions group! But okay, who cares, let's just forget about everything, and I will certainly not make any more suggestions.

You're allowed to suggest anything you want. Other users are equally free to say "i like it" or "I hate it". In this case, I'm with Nish. OPera does that sort of thing with it's tabs and doesn't provide a way to turn it off. I thought it was a bad idea when I first saw it, having been stuck with it for months, I now thing it's a horrificly loathsome idea.

Exactly...and my point was that he did not comment on it, unless you consider "Java???? Popup????" a valid comment.
Maybe you should read the thread before involving into any kind of discussion. But anyways, he commented on that later on, and everything is cool.

Have you used netflix? I think something like that would be pretty sweet.

Although we have comments at the bottom of each article; wouldn't be nice if we could annotate the text of the article itself. For example, I ran across a word in one of the recently published and edited articles where the author chose the word "pure" rather than "poor". Since we all read these articles, why not have a way to highlight a element and make a comment about it. Similar to the comment bubles in Word.
The Theory:
Once a users posts an annotation only the author of the article and the poster can see the comment. If the author likes the annotation he can choose to "accept" it. Otherwise the Author can edit the article to correct the annotation, or remove it.
Lastly, if an article has been through a few revision, the author may not wish to have the article "annotate"-able. So have a system to disable the feature.

Not a bad idea. You could have something like an underline/highlight of certain words/sentences, then when you move your mouse over them, a message balloon appears with the comments.
