Option to view Forum Questions & Forum Answers by a member

All I can say is that email is an unreliable medium of exchange. Despite our best efforts and the changes we've made to improve email delivery and sneak past overzealous spam filters with nothing better to do than justify their own existence by blocking our emails and letting through news on biomedical advances, there will still be occasional emails missing, sent to junk boxes, dropped through outages somewhere between here and you or purloined by nefarious network admins thinking there may be birthday cards and money inside those emails.

In profile page we have option to view Q&A Questions & Q&A Answers. But Is there any option for Forum Questions & Forum Answers. For example take our Big Enquirers David Crow[^] & Carlo[^], now how to view their questions?

BTW I found 2 links in MyCodeProject[^] page.

Questions I've posted
Unanswered Questions[^]
Answered Questions[^]
(Both links will show you David's questions)

Surely this option will save duplication questions. Actually before asking a question I'm using CP search & other members Q/A questions & Answers(Based on his profile[I mean category like C# or VB or something]) like you can view mostly C++ questions in both David & Carlo's pages.

BTW I think you are working on this too(Because you have changed the caption Question & Answers into Q&A Questions & Q&A Answers in profile page recently).

On Quick Question & Answers, when looking at any older revisions. the action bar () is wrapped to the next line. can we move it to the row below/above ? there are lot of space as we are not showing the answers there.

Example.

Final Question, which looks fine.[^]

Revesion of the Actual Question[^], please see the FAQ button/link.

it looks fine in IE 9 (if full screen, otherwise same), but wrapped/overlapped to the next line in Firefox 4 (even in full screen - 24").

It's not a big deal, but cant help my OCD. Smile | :)

Just a release candidate, at the moment.

IIRC Maunder's policy is not to try chasing pre-release browsers; at the moment I suspect he's busy stomping on IE9 issues.

Yea, I saw that on their site. But I would like to try it. I have downloaded it and will install tomorrow. Just need to confirm if I can run current FF version and this one side by side. If not, I will install it on one of my home PC.

Maybe. Assuming it even partially lives up to the hype most of the changes will probably be stuff like this:

Old

if (browser.name == IE)
{
   //Stupid IE
   DoIeHack();
}
else
{
   FollowStandards()
}

New:

if ((browser.name == IE) && (browser.Version <= 8))
{
   //Stupid IE
   DoIeHack();
}
else
{
   FollowStandards()
}

3x12=36
2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18

Pretty much, except the comments would be more expressive and unsuitable for a forum such as this.

I know, but I wasn't about to violate the site rules that blatantly on your forum. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

I heard a lot of good comments about it in the Lounge. Haven't got a chance to try it yet.

Well I don't know much if Microsoft has followed the standards this time or still goes with their own weird standards but I seriously hope that the code you have written above holds true. Smile | :)

I think there's a bug in the voting mechanism (allowing double voting?)

I voted for this post: http://www.codeproject.com/Lounge.aspx?msg=3815399#xx3815399xx[^]
it didn't seem to take, so I clicked on home then back to lounge, still didn't seem to take, then I voted again then there were two 5 votes.

I've seen this happen (the vote not taking hold) a few times. Sometimes after a while the vote appears.

Messages are cached locally so it could be a few minutes before they are updated across all servers. We have a task underway to ditch our old caching system and move to AppFabric to make this work seamlessly across servers.

I know it sometimes looks strange due to slow server synchronization, however in my observations it always is alright in the end. What may help you is looking at your Reputation History, it lists your actions (without caching effects), and AFAICT it reflects what you really did.

For more than 24 hours now my rep numbers and graph disagree, not on the total number, but on the categorization. Some 5700 points are trying to move from Debator towards Authority; the basic idea is good, the execution however seems stuck in mud somehow.

I'm resyncing. We're just testing another Bumper Fun Rep RePopulator and if it's as fast as we hope I'll do another rep update soon to take into account the minor rep point corrections we've made over the past week.

Nope, it confirms some authority has been detected in your debating, but it does not explain it. And I doubt it ever will, as there has been drivel in most everything you posted since many months.
