The online counter in the menu strip at the top seems to be going crazy - the number increments at a very high rate; it has gone from 50,000 to now over 60,000 in just over 5 minutes!
Is it working alright? Or are the hamsters performing a DDoS attack in protest?

The system to update that value had too much caffeine after lunch.
All fixed.

You have a whole system dedicated to updating that value?

I hope you appreciate how such a seemingly simple, yet dangerously complex task is pulled off with such a minimum of fuss. We almost make it look trivial, don't we? <buffs fingernails>

So, it's a system of systems - kind of a redundancy system system.
I would never have imagined.

Here is a little bit of feedback/brainstorming about Quick Answers[^]. Just some ideas to help.
The current concept of differentiating between answers and comments doesn't work in my opinion. I see many users adding information by using 'Add an Answer' instead of using the 'New message' button on the bottom of the page. And I understand them, from a user perspective it's much more intuitive to press the first button. First you kinda answers questions other users had about the original question, secondly it gives everyone a very visible feedback (compared to the tiny message board on the bottom of the page). The first weeks I down-voted those "fake answers", but I don't do this any more, I just feel it's wrong to punish someone who explains himself and communicates with others.
Can Quick Answers be improved? I would suggest a design change (do I hear Codeproject staff swearing?). Allow two types of answers: answers and comments (two buttons 'Add an Answer' and 'Add a Comment'). Then get rid of the message board on the bottom, as it is not needed any more. If the original poster wrongly adds a "fake answer" other members should be able to change the message type to a comment. The display will become one unthreaded list, with answers and comments. KISS principle[^].
Hope it helps!

I opened silverlight forum and see only 1 page. Further, at the end of the page the asnwers are not sequential it seems. Identation too is broken. Tried F5 few times... same every time...
Web 24 it is. IE8 i am using...
Have screenshot if needed... Can someone look and confirm if it's only me or same for all?

Looks fine with FF3.0 on Web19/20/21
|
|
|
|
|
No, I can't replicate it.
FF 3.6.3. No issue.
[Edit]
I checked with IE8 and web 24 (got that at first attempt luckily), but couldn't replicate the problem.
You try again in sometime and see if it still persists.

Strange... its the same with me Web 22 this time... IE8..
Will try after sometime and see...

Check your filters to see if you are preventing display of some entries.
It's time for a new signature.

Maybe you need a newer version of Silverlight to see the forum.

IMO a decent browser would suffice...

|

found it working fine today! 
same browser.. IE8!
|
|

That's a miracle in and of itself. You almost never here the two phrases "IE8" and "working fine" in the same sentence unless you're comparing IE8 to another browser that works fine.

And something has stuffed the layout of the messages at the bottom of the forum.

Hi! Regarding tag cloud [^], I suggest to add new tags for boost (Boost C++ Libraries) and Unicode. And then I wonder why there is Threading and threads, perhaps one of them is redundant?
Cheers,

You can add tags yourself whenever you ask a question in Quick Answers.
As to rationalising the tags: we're adding that functionality.

Hi Chris! Can you add tags that don't exist in the tag cloud, when editing/improving questions?
Because I don't think you can, I tried to add Unicode tag to an existing question in Quick Answers and it got removed after clicking the 'Update question' button. That's the reason why I suggested adding new tags to the tag cloud. Not sure how it is supposed to work, if members should be able to pick any tag or only predefined ones.

FYI, that is a known bug.
