One feature I'd find quite useful is a list in My Settings of all the questions I've asked (and specifically tagged as questions), perhaps categorised by the forum they were asked in.
I know I can get something similar by clicking on Messages Posted, but because I tend to idle away the day post a lot in the lounge I find that they rapidly disappear under the weight of a whole load of nonsense posts. Also, I'm sure I've repeated the same question from time to time, either because I can't find it or the intervening beer time between getting an answer and me actually being able to do anything with it has lead to temporary amnesia.

This is already in our "TODO" list.

Nice point.
The problem is that as it now is, one can only go back 6 months ago in your own messages.
Will it maybe be corrected in the future?

Hi,
I am trying to find a special message I wrote long time ago, but the search option is giving me problems because it goes only 200 messages mixing all forums back. And when I try selecting with "between -- and -- datums" for example (between 1 jan 2007 and 1 may 2007) and there are more than 1 page results (4), when trying to go to the second or another page but the first one, the list get empty, the first datum for the search criteriums changes (between 7 Nov 2007 and 1 may 2007) and it says an error message.
Is it maybe bugged? Or am I making anything wrong? (if yes... which is the best option to search old messages?)
EDIT:
Another issue, I found a message that I remember was "relative" close to the one I am searching, but when I try to go to the "next" or "previous" pages the forum throws me automatically to the first page. I was in page 998, and clicking in 997, 999, next or previous... all send me back to the first page of the forum.
One link if you want to check: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/View.aspx?fid=1647&msg=2036544[^]

If you're getting results at all that's one step better than I am. I'm trying to find a lounge post I made a bit more than year ago, but either I can't put my name as the search for criteria, all posts I made between jan 30 2007 and feb 06 2007 have vanished into the aether, or the searches are timing out on me. 
You know, every time I tried to win a bar-bet about being able to count to 1000 using my fingers I always got punched out when I reached 4....

User names are not allowed in search criteria for me as well, I managed it searching for tiny periods to have only one page of results (impossible to navigate between result pages) and opening every message I wanted to check in new window. Then searching on the next week/15 days/month (depending on how many results came). I got results till 2006.
Ahm, and to select datums, I used the calender next to the edit box, introducing the datum in the edit box didn't work for me.

I've been getting this occasionaly, but never bothered to check why it happens.
What happens is, you go to page 2 on a forum, reply to a topic that starts on the page but continues onto the next. When the page reloads, you are still on page 2, but the topic has been moved up so you can see all of it (including your message).
You then go to the previous page, you are now on page one and you can see a whole new page of messages, but since all the messages where 'moved up' so you could see yours, the first messages are missing and you can't go to the previous page because your on page one already.
So for the moment, to check for yourself:
Go to the lounge
Go to page 2
reply in battery charger thread
go back to page 1
-Are there some messages missing?
The same type of thing should apply to any forum.

I was just wondering if it would be a good idea to have some sort of CP repository for graphics, fonts, Xaml-y widgets (or other vector-based pretty things), css layouts etc etc. for the more creative types to post to. It might need to have a slightly different format to the article-based code submissions, but it could be a really great resource for us non-designers... and who knows, an additional source of advertising revenue for CP?

Probably me being dense again, but within <code> tags could we have it so that < and > are not interpreted as HTML?
I know I can disable them for the entire post, but sometimes you want them within the code tags, but not within the main body of the message without going to the lengths of <-ing and >-ing everything manually?
|
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately not since we allow some HTML within code and pre tags (eg <b>)

Ah, I see. How about an attribute within the <code> and <pre> tags such as <code IgnoreNonStandardTags="true">. I have no idea if this is feasible or how much effort would be involved - I'm just throwing cards on the table - but it would make Generic and Linq-ified stuff a lot easier to tap in rather than cut and paste

If you are using IE then when you paste code into a message post box the <'s get converted to < automatically.
In the article posting form the WYSIWYG editor will also handle this situation.
Next step is we have to implement WYTSIWYG in the forums

Cool - like I said, probably me being dense

I doubt it. If it isn't intuitive then we need to fix it.

Well possibly... but never underestimate the power of the dense

I use Thread view to cut down on the amount of stuff I see.
But when someone posts a link to some particular message and I click that link, all I get is the page the message is on and I have no way of finding the message.
Therefore, if I'm going to click a link to a message I first have to set to Normal view.
Is there some way that clicking a link to a message while in Thread view can behave "properly"?

Why I cant use of search on the codeproject and result of my search is :
"Either the search timed out before it has completed, or no results were found. Please try changing your search criteria."
