I've removed the worst of those tags.
Yes, some people have problems formatting. Yes, some people prefer to talk to someone and ask for an answer instead of Googling.
If everyone actually took the time to Google, read the docs, experiment and just plain old nut it out then we wouldn't even be here.

I personally do not abuse anyone no matter how simple the question is. The most rude reply I would give is "Have you tried googling?". I too am not a fan of people making fun of guys who are either not that well equipped or ignorant.
IMO the best way is to just ignore the question.

Damn - how polite everybody has suddenly become in the QA forum due to this post...

I spend a fair bit of time on the train and have the habbit of browssing on my mobile and as is the forums are hard to read in a phone browser.
So pretty please, can we have the forums mobile-aware?

I believe i read here someone mentioning that CodeProject is Mobile-aware! i.e. There is a mobile version of code project.
Chris, might tell if not so.

correct. An obscure make and model, bought in Hungary, made in China, the built-in browser is called Sarifa.

You know of it? so they've build several? Then Chris really should support it.

I'd like it too - Blackberry for me! I can read and post but it is pretty sucky. I have thought about trying another browser on it but haven't got that far yet.

Is it possible to allow the user to log in and set a "mobile" setting (from his phone) that tells the site what kind of phone they're using and render the site accordingly?
I would also suggest that you setup a "generic" mobile version that renders to a fixed height/width in case the phone isn't recognized.
Also, most smart phones allow you to turn the phone sideways for a wider view. That should probably be a profile setting as well.
Of course, I don't know if all that is necessary. Just throwing ideas out there...
BTW, I'm on an Android phone, and if I turn my phone sideways, and scroll to exactly the right position, The message breaks lines in the right place, but that's about as mobile aware as CP appears to be (for me).

As a test you can append ?mobile=true to any page to see what the mobile version looks like. I weed to update the mobile browser detection thingamajig to cater for the rash of new phones

I use the Ctrl+RightArrow to read through the forums, but when I get to the end I need to get out the mouse again. Can we have Ctrl+RightArrow continue to the next page if we're at the end of the page of posts, or maybe another key combo to move between pages?
|
|
|
|
|
wow you guys are fast. I noticed you added the Ctrl+PageDown to go to the next page already.
I'm embarrassed that missed that before posting.

It depends on your browser. With IE7 CTRL/PAGEDOWN works for you; with FF3 it switches to the next browser tab.

When I'm reading the comments at the end of a long article (like this one A WPF custom control for zooming and panning.[^]) when I click on a comment it doesn't automatically scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, it scrolls me to the middle of the page, but closer to the bottom.

Which browser? Chrome? If so, it's a known issue we're working on.

Yes, it's Chrome. I'll wait patiently.

Could CodeProject add a new category for X++ code?
This is the supporting-language for the Microsoft Dynamics AX
platform.
There is hardly anything out there now on the subject,
books, articles, tutroials, you name it, very sparse.
Much of it on MSDN is utterly undocumented.
Could sure use some help.

Write some articles, and they will come.

"Difficult Questions" (or something equally/more descriptive)
The gist is that I currently have a REALLY tough question that requires a LOT of description, some code snippets, and maybe even some illustrations and downloadable files to aid in getting an answer (I've been working on formulating the question for almost four hours already). Essentially, it would be the same as an article but would actually just be a programming question.
What I plan on doing at this time is starting an article that poses the question, but that is not published, and then posting a link to the unpublished article in my "proxy" forum question, inviting interested/knowledgeable parties to participate in the answer process.
Another benefit is that we don't lose our questions in the flotsam that soon fills in at the top of the forum.
What do you guys think (especially the CP admin folks)?
EDIT =============
Well, my workaround won't work because not everybody can see an article that's not been made public.
