Good point. Chris, is there a reason Leckey got to retain her gold status while the rest of us lost ours? Or is it just a bug? 
Cheers,
Drew.

She got her old status by the number of messages she posted.

OK, I get it. The way the criteria reads is a bit confusing.
"Each 500 messages posted adds one level, and if a member has posted a message then each year of membership adds 1 level until the member hits Silver." suggests Silver is the best you can do with messages (the whole ", and" part threw me off).
Maybe "Each 500 messages posted adds one level up to Gold, and if a member has posted a message then each year of membership adds 1 level until the member hits Silver." might take some of the confusion out of it.
I take it that once I reach 1500 messages, I'll regain Gold status and get to play with the big kids again?
Cheers,
Drew.

I do believe it is... If you look at the OP's profile page, you can see the same situation.

I was searching for 'Websense' in Lounge with date filters like 1 June 2004 to 1 June 2008 and chose the following from the search results:
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/View.aspx?fid=1159&msg=1769098[^]
I was able to view the search results but when I clicked the next page, it takes me back /Lounge.aspx instead of the pagination in search result.
I also observed this in 'Current Bugs' as here (Forum navigation for old messages not working correctly. Also navigation after posting new message being weird) and hence thought if the following workaround could help:
To minimize the server load, only that thread set can be fetched instead of the context. It currently shows the context of the thread in the entire Lounge and the page numbers were displayed as 8663.

.. could it be possible to display 100 messages per page (as an option in the combo box) ?
Thanks

Instead of fixed scrolling, how about smart scrolling based on scrollbar drag like in AOL Webmail or Yahoo Mail New Interface?

Unfortunately the more messages we display the larger the load on the servers and the worse the experience will be.

I sort of feared something like that. Thanks for the answer.

Just so you don't get the wrong idea,...I must tell you that I love CodeProject, as I'm sure everybody that's spent a significant amount of time exploring the site does. I've learned SO MUCH about ALL FACETS of programming here, that it's just amazing.
But, some of the questions that you see posted in the programming forums, make you wonder,...what could he have POSSIBLY been thinking? I can understand that having to translate statements from your native language into the english language may be challenging,...but,...
Typical:
Hello, I got DLL maybe functn tha I dunno but its freakin weird, and, got visual basic so what is wrong? Could be header, byte flux or unicode? yeah,...can you help me, PLEASE! Variables from my sub class B don't debug when I select declare so that base value is overridden by unknown and evil properties,...well kinda. and I am really drunk, oh god.
The correct answer: LIQUID NITROGEN

 I agree with you. You are probably being down-voted for being on the suggestions forum with this. I'm sure this must have earned you a lot of 5 votes if posted on the lounge. Thanks for the humor.

Rajesh R Subramanian,
...yeah, I guess this one deserved to be posted in the Lounge,...
You know, whenever I visit a site that has a great forum (for example, OSR Online Developers Forum[^], or, Sysinternals Development Forum[^]), I'm inclined to think,...why doesn't someone compile a GREATEST HITS collection that automatically queries the database with each new question, using a Google-like method, displaying relevant associated topics? It would read in similar style to Raymond Chen's The Old New Thing[^]

I think that there should be a special web form for posting questions under programming forums, including the problem description and "what I have tried" fields that are filled out separately by the member who's giving a question.

Also, I would recommend that a primitive online translator from some languages other than English, as well as a spell-checker is integrated into forum's moderation tools, so that moderators would easily translate those confusing and hardly understood texts into English and know what these text are about.
Thanks a lot.

I believe that's called mind reading. Good luck finding a good one who is fluent in two or more spoken languages, plus a few programming languages. They would need all of the foregoing skills.

I completely agree with you, but anyway, the using of translators and spellcheckers might provide a sufficient help in reading posts written in the other languages.
For example, I often post various technical questions under software.intel.com programming forums. In many cases, under these forums, I post my questions in Ukrainian, which is my native language, and after that receive various replies posted by English-speaking persons in the same Ukrainian language. Of course, the people from Intel use embedded translators to quickly interpret posts into English for the correct understanding it.
