The alternate is displayed on the same page as the original tip/trick. How are you going to maintain a separate count under those conditions?

Like Dave said, give each alternative a view count, and assume the alternatives get read together with the original, ever since they exist. As it is now, the alternatives get listed on your articles summary page with a view count of zero, which is hardly accurate. I had already suggested not to show the view count for alternatives at all, but then Dave suggested the above, which I prefer.

Good point. I'll bring it up with the team and keep you posted.

We're thinking of simply hiding the views for alternate tips/tricks. And also calling out alternates with a "[Alternate Tip]" suffix. I think incrementing the view-count would just cause confusion. It'd also probably be well of the number of times it's actually been viewed.

As feedback, we might want to open the Hindi forum for other Indian languages.
There are many languages spoken in India. Languages like Kannada, Tamil and Telgu are very commonly used.
A good majority of developers are from regions within India that use Tamil or any of the other languages. It is also highly likely that these developers will then not know Hindi (or may not be fluent in Hindi).
You will require tons of moderators though  .
These languages are very different and often a person who speaks one lanuguage cannot understand what was spoken in the other - let alone reading text written in another script.
The Chinese forum may be better off in this sense - I guess everyone in China speaks Chinese (obviously regoinal flavours will be different but I suppose the script would be the same).

Plus all the dialects, it is a bigger problem than you think!

AFAIK that while the spoken dialects vary greatly the written form is the same for all of them.
3x12=36
2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18

Plus there is Pinyin[^].

I suggest you start filling the one forum you just got before requesting more of them.

Any chance you could move the "All Message Boards" menu item to the top of that section? The menu is getting too long and I have to scroll down to access it. Thanks!

It will be done.

Is it just me, or does it appear that one of the latest builds of the site has broken the ability for the Google spell check feature on the Google tool bar to no longer work in the forums?
I click it (with obvious errors) and it does not even come up and say 'no errors found'. It just does not seem to perform a check.
I just seemed to notice this here today at work, i will try when I get home latter to see if it is a location specific thing since my current employer forces me to STAY with IE6 so that MAY have something to do with it. I have not however noticed this behavior on any other sites by Code Project though so...

I cannot think of anything that would cause it to fail on our end, but Google did announce[^] that it's dropping support for IE6.

For the new discussion boards list:
1. Some descriptions end with a period, some don't.
2. When saying "something related discussions", there should be a hyphen before related (i.e., Linux-related).
3. Some "related"s have a capital R (i.e., Windows 7 Related).
4. Most forums have discussions, Visual Basic has questions. Et tu Chris?
5. Always add a comma before etc.
6. Perl and Python require the word discussions.
7. OMG, a real issue. The Coding Horror, The Back Room, and the Non-English Forums rows (or cells) are not aligned.

7) Which browser?

That was quick.
Here's a few more.
1. ASP.NET is only development? "ASP.NET only web development" should be "Only ASP.NET web development discussions" (or questions (probably the former)).
2. C / C++ / MFC also have questions. All is forgiven on VB. I am curious to your reasoning between questions and discussions?
3. C++/CLI needs spaces around slash.
4. LINQ has flavo(u)rs (not the issue), but no discussion.
5. 7 from before is still an issue. Guess I gave you an interesting one. I believe it breaks when the text under Forum is two rows long. The row highlight though is correct. It seems the two are not completely dependent on each other.
6. Hardware & Devices - Trouble shooting needs no space or a hyphen.
7. Personal preference, descriptions should end with periods. On occasion, they're multiple sentences long and it seems weird putting a period on the first one, but not on the last, or not on all of them.
8. Sharepoint also has related in the description.

3. No, C++/CLI means "C++ on the CLI", not "C++ and/or CLI".
4. Yes, LINQ has various flavours. Want me to write flava instead? Word.
5. I hate CSS and rendering engines. Seriously. How on earth can a table cell be shorter than it's row?? I will ponder.

4. I did say the spelling was not the issue. It just says LINQ (All Flavours), not questions or discussions.
5. That one is annoying. Is each cell in its own table per chance?
