Hi Hans,
I was not aware of the feature - thanks. Thread View still lacks the 'cleanness' of the tree view (IMHO).

One thing that's small but always annoying and occurs almost daily is that sometimes I'll receive an email notification of a reply to my post in a large thread with levels and levels of posts. When I click on it I'll get to that persons reply but because my post they are responding to is one or more pages up it's nearly impossible to know which of my posts in the thread is being replied to other than context or if they quote a bit.
There are two links in the bottom, one for going to the start of the thread, the original post, and another for viewing the thread separately (which I can't see the use of at all), perhaps if there was a link that went to the message they were directly replying to?

I don't care what they call it as long as they add it

I would call it the "Apropos" link.....but that might be confusing to non-englishers(hey, Shakespeare did it!)....but definitely a good, useful idea.

I would say more along the lines of....assimilation.....or "open source" language use..

You might choose to use two words then and top it of with a classy little accent.
But that would reduce the probability it getting accepted I guess...

English doesn't borrow from other languages. English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

Would it be possible to have an option to retract a vote? If I accidentally click 1 instead of 5, it would be nice to be able to retract the dodgy vote and revote.

I absolutely need this option having just voted 1 to your post!!!

 Nah - just leave it at 1.

I would like to see something like that. There have been times of voting down an article, then the author going and making major improvements, I'd like to vote it up...

what circumstances we are supposed to use one or the other? Are they actually the same thing? Can we just get a single link that says inappropriate or something because from what I gather a lot of other people don't know whether to click on them or not for a lot of different scenarios.

Spam would be like UCE right (Unsolicited Commercial Advertising).
When someone is harassing others using obscene words or like that, we can use 'Abuse' option.
Abuse option is more powerful than Spam option. Of course, they also have a distinct line of demarcation and boundary between them. Isn't it?

The (currently) have the same affect, but allow me to see the difference in the amount of spam vs abusive messages

Where do things like Satips unnecessary happy faces and programming questions in the lounge fit into that?

Ok, I'm not more enlightened than I was when I asked this question so I'll assume programming questions in the lounge should be tagged as "abuse".

The textbox 'Filter By Name' in Who's Who at the Code Project can be made to have an Autosuggest feature instead of expecting the user to type a few characters of the name, submit to the server, wait for the response after roundtrip. Again refine the search etc.
An auto-suggest would be more friendly. Isn't it?

Wow, is it your mission to post a new suggestion every 18 hours?  Why don't you save them up and put them all in a list once a week.
P.S. have you ever done any web development? Your suggestion would be a nightmare for a site this busy with this many users on it.

John. I think it would actually bring down the resource consumption or the bandwidth load right? Currently server is being pulled to process the full .ASP page. Now with a JavaScript query, one little content and preferably a JSON string can be emitted so that the the data are shown in a dropdown quickly.
For example, Google Autosuggest is a salient example.

I always feel a colloborative knowledge sharing would greatly help. I was helping out my friend in his application. He is currently in Bangalore with audience in India and server and other offices in UK. For quick and good response, we resorted to Autosuggest. For this sake, we researched on JSON and it is really good.
