I want it to look like it did before - which looked like there was a blank line.

Several people have commented on the Visual Studio forum being MIA. Is it gone permanently or just misplaced?

the math and algo forum is missing as well, and the list as a whole looks a little short so I wonder if there's more that didn't make it.
Otherwise [Microsoft is] toast in the long term no matter how much money they've got. They would be already if the Linux community didn't have it's head so firmly up it's own command line buffer that it looks like taking 15 years to find the desktop.

They weren't in the navigation section at the top of all but a few forums [Insert rant about it not being available in the lounge, etc]

Yep, and Math and Algo is even in the list on top of this page (it wasn't right after the
make over).
There always have been differences between the three-column list on top of most forums, and
the others lists elsewhere (such as the "Message Boards" pull-down menu, and the list page).
There used to be 30 forums in the 3-column list. Now there are 25 in the 3-column list,
some 15 of them in the pull-down (with slightly different names).
I have never understood why they are populated differently, with different names and orders.
I expected this to be streamlined with the make over, instead it went a bit backwards.
Several people have reported this. Fixing this seems like a small effort with a big return.
BTW: I continue to suggest you drop the "Visual" in the "Visual C++" forum name, it attracts
lots of people that get confused since they all use Visual Studio; and I suggest to add
"Unmanaged" to all C++ forum names but one.
Regards,

Hi Elina,
the 30 titles are back on a couple of forums I checked. Thanks for that.
I do have one complaint though, they seem to hop around a bit:
C# is always in the left column (so far)
.NET Framework sometimes is in the left column, sometimes in the right column.
Don't know about all the others, I guess some of them move too.
This is rather annoying, I try to visit a couple of forums in one session, having
them move in the table makes that rather difficult (and when I hit the same one twice,
it adds to your server's load !!)
Actually I would suggest to give them all a fixed and logical order, say grouped similar to
what the list.aspx page gives.

Hi everyone!
I guess this has been discussed here before but I couldnt find anything.
My question is: Why is the threads sorted only after when the thread was created?

I'm sorry I don't understand what you mean

After you post a reply to a particular thread in Lounge, the website always loads the first page of Lounge. It forgets the current page and thread context.
Anyone else still facing the issue?

well... not really forget... misplace.
After replying to a message and it takes you to the front page.... do not click on any more messages... instead click on the "next" button on the page list at the bottom... boom, it suddenly finds and takes you to your message. After this point the next button will function as a real next button.

Sounds like a time-out issue.
Is it still happening?

Prior to CP's upgrade, I made my home page the query results of the last two weeks of MFC/C++ article submissions. It was great, but now I get all sorts of .NET and C# stuff mixed in with it. They were not there before and I have no interest in that. Can you add the ability back to only get MFC/C++ without C#?
Thanks
Jose

There used to be a dropdown which lists all the forums in old CodeProject. This should be located somewhere near the currently displaying text ("Got a Programming Question? Click here!"). I find it missing mysteriously now and now there is an extra click (navigation) forced into list.aspx and then to chose an appropriate forum.
Some hamster has taken this dropdown and ran away during one of the upgrade nights?
Why should we force additional .ASPX processing on poor servers which are already reeling under high loads?

Reposted since initial posting was in the SB by mistake.
Is there any fix/workaround for this in the work? Having all messages marked as read because my last vist date is regularly set into the future is a royal pain.

something I just noticed that's probably related. Onthe forum list page it was reporting my local time as 5:18 on the 18th. My local time was 14:18 on the 17th. My local clock and my timezone setting are correct for Eastern (GMT-5).

I recently posted to an article, but the site complained I was using unicode and wouldn't let me post: "Please do not use Unicode characters in posts. ASCII only". I wasn't using unicode or any special symbols.
I was, however, using HTML encoding to hide my email address in my signature using the '[ampersand][pound][ascii_number];' notation in the HREF and hyperlink text. I could post if I removed this portion.
I've had it like this for quite some time now, but I haven't posted in a long time so I'm not sure when this changed.

pound isn't ASCII. ASCII holds 7-bit values only, so no accents, pounds, euros, copyrights, ...

I see there were site changes.
Usually when I came to the search page there were checkboxes that alowed me to choose in wich programming language I am looking for an answer.
(c++,c# vb asp.net etc)
know I cannot set this and the search is really hard.
What happend and can you fix this?
Please It really makes it hard to find relevant articles.
thanks in advance mezik.

The is a whole new search thing, with lots of fancy options... apparently.
It is currently disabled while they sort stuff out, so for now, you'll just have to put up with it i guess.

You still can't see the votes on your messages posted page. This includes votes made before CP was upgraded. Also it's annoying that there's no "next" button at the bottom of the page (there's one at the top). I'm sorry to harp on about this but the lose of this functionality is a real downer for me.

Does anyone know how I can update my article in codeproject. I have began an article but has not completed it yet. When I go to "my Articles" section I can see that the article is listed there but when I click it it says "It does'nt exist" . Any help would be appreciated.
