It would be great if we have a way to query the latest posts since we visited here last time.. For example, I visited here around 11/12/2007 9:00 AM. then, I come back here around 11/12/2007 1:00 PM.. I wanna know how many "new posts" have been posted within 4 hours.. so, I click the link (let's say "Get the latest posts" ) and I will get the list of latest posts that have been posted within 4 hours...
It would be more better if we have the options to select which forum that we wanna watch.. For me, I'm more familiar with Javascript, ASP.NET and C# so I used to participate in C#, ASP.NET and Web development forum section.. (sometimes, in other forum section too... ) I would like to get the latest posts of those three forum in one shot..
I have seen like that in other forum... I think it's cool to have here too.. 
What do you say??

Two things:
1. The overhead would be huge keeping track of what has changed since you last visited for 4+ million users.
2. The forum list at the top highlights items that are new since a period in time (usually when the session has expired). At least that way, you can see where new posts are.
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

Yeah... I saw those highlight items .. what about making a list of those highlighted items (from different section)in one page?? I saw like that in devx forum that has high traffic.....

To solve the issue you presented in #1, why couldn't you just set a timestamp cookie for the user each time he or she visits the page. Then, on every consecutive visit, the page could be populated with all messages with a timestamp later than the last visit by the user. If no cookie exists for a user (or cookies are not enabled), then the webite is shown without that additional information.
If you are concerned with the amount of time spent computing which threads are new, you could optimize it by taking snapshots every hour of the posts from that hour only, comparing those snapshots to the cookie mentioned previously, then return the results.

Hi All,
Small Sugestion. CheckSum.Asm.zip was renamed to CheckSumAsm.zip without informing the author, which resulted in a File Not Found.
That's not nice...

In the artice submission wizard?
When you upload a file that may contain characters in itsfilename that could cause problems the submission wizard dsplays a clear warning next to the uploaded file explaining that it had been renamed and that you should adjust your references to that file in your HTML.
IF that didn't occur then letme know and I will fix.

I have seen a lot of people including snippets with the < code > tags insteads of < pre >.
For new people, and specially new non-english people, is quite easy to confuse making the messages more difficult/unconfortable to read.
What about a change of name?

I think you would have to suggest that to the appropriate standards committee. The pre and code tags are interpreted by the browser and are not a formatting instruction unique to codeproject.

i have been looking for a satisfactory resource about audio programming yet i couldn't find. there are lots of forums/sites on graphics, direct3d, opengl etc. but unfortunately there are none or very few on directsound, vst, asio and the possible link between vst and dotnet. for example i am using synthmaker to create vst files and i want to find a way to control these vst files within a vb.net program. even a way to use such vst dlls online via
an asp.net page. is audio programming really that uninteresting or are you already about to open a topic about this subject?

 Which is your browser ?

CompuServe 7.0, seems to be the bad guy, as IE 7.0 seem to display it OK.

Yes, it's a classic Onion article. We thought it amusing enough to include in the Daily Insider.
