| My point is not about C# or VB.NET. What I want to say is this is year 2010. So instead of January 2009, shouldn't it be January 2010?? "Legacy code" often differs from its suggested alternative by actually working and scaling.

That part should yes.

On Ask a Question page, Can we add a "Search before you Ask" section on the top, which will display the result on the same page in small area (with scroll bar). so that question poster can search before asking.
This will encourage even a lazy poster to search before posting a question and watch the result on the same page, so that we dont have those gridview paging questions over and over... 
or bit noisy solution.
If somebody try to post a question then show them previously asked similar questions and at the end a button with "Submit Answer" which will submit the question.

This has been suggested ad-infinitum. It is very difficult to even start to suggest a way this could be automated, that's the problem. If we had Mr Goo and Mr Gle, they could probable find a way to take the content of a question and check it against previous requests. The word content is 'easy' it is the symantics that make it difficult.

really?
when I create a new QA and enter "software security" in the subject line, then start editing the question, nothing happens, although there is a recent QA with subject "how to achieve software security?"

I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that. All Toronto weekends should be extremely wet until we get it automated in regular forums, not just QA.

Yep. I can see it now.
Some suggestions:
- let the hyperlinks always open a new tab, as the user has already entered some data in the edit page and would probably hesitate to leave it. (I noticed the small "open in new tab" icon, many may overlook it).
- also show author name, article/TT/QA type, date, and average vote for each related entry
- put question guidelines and related entries in two tab pages, so author can still see the guidelines if he want to see them.

Nothing serious, just the "Azure Contest" link on the announcement list is pointing to the CP Homepage. It should point here right ?[^]

The quality of the articles selected is extremely high. I don't know what criteria they use for selecting articles for the competition..45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

CP Team,
I just observed the new feature mentioned at the bottom of the forums
Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads.
I believe this should be a significant step towards making the site more accessible through the keyboard.
One quick thought: When you are in the topmost thread or bottommost thread, isn't that a debatable one on whether it (ctrl+up/down) should jump to the next message's (predecessor or successor) thread or cycle within its own message realm?Vasudevan Deepak Kumar

I don't think cycling is all that intuitive.cheers,

I was going to post this earlier today but didn't do that out of respect for VDK. But now that you've posted it anyway, yeah it's been available for months now. VDK is behind the times.

Rajesh,
We do have a related Tamil saying too in this context right? BTW, an Out of Topic query -- how is your travel prep to Seattle going? Is your contact number changed?Vasudevan Deepak Kumar

Months? I've been using it since I signed up. That must have been about two years ago.

I can assure you that it's longer than that. I remember starting to use it sometime after I signed up.

CP Team,
I was just wondering if adding a Smart-guesser feature along with the message type that would automatically guess the type of the message on clicking the submit button.
For most of the question type sentences, I feel that the engine can do the best work of choosing the 'question' radio button. For Joke and Rant, it may have do some little text parsing (using AJAX tricks) and then suggest to the user. Perhaps it can try to use any of the smileys embedded in the post.
I feel that this would reduce the number of messages piled up under 'General' and provide more finer classification of the messages and also add a bit of interactiveness to the forums.Vasudevan Deepak Kumar

Write us a prototype and we'll be happy to test against real world data.
The message boards already default to 'Question' for new posts, and 'Answer' for replies to questions. Extending the guess beyond that will provide mixed results at best.cheers,

I admit. Perhaps, there can be a section like CP Labs where we can test-them over a period of time to see they mature enough to be production candidates.Vasudevan Deepak Kumar
