I have been observing a practice in CodeProject and typically in Survey, Duplicate Post activities of forums that the message like 'Vote only once', 'It looks like you have already posted ...' are being sent across querystrings.
I think, CodeProject can avoid this. Passing messages via querystrings is also dangerous though there are no critical transactions involved. Along with messages, a user can send a harmful scripting exploiting cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.
I think a session variable can be set in the previous page, displayed in the target page and then reset or a hidden variable can be persisted with the message.

I have seen that name for Visual c++ and c++/cli were renamed/changed. But they/you forgot to change the names in the pull down meni.

I understand the need for adding different weights to the article votes, but it would be nice if the Lounge, Soap-Box, Suggestions, et al were equally weighted for all users. This would allow for better polling on those sites.

It would be nice to be able to read (expand) all messages of a thread, rather than one message at a time. The thread could then be easily printed, or a separate "print version" could be added as well.

That option is available, but only for CP Supporters. Personally, I find it harder to read long threads when every message is expanded.

Not meaning to sound rude, but, um, why?

If they are really long, then perhaps. But, I personally find it easier to look at a thread if I can expand it and refer back to other posts. I find that the alternative method, fully quoting the thread, gets messy and harder to read if it is all inside one post. While it would be nice, very rarely will somebody reply to a thread by pulling out and quoting only the important information. Usually, it's all or nothing. Present company excluded.

That's not rude, it's a valid question. The expand-all option is available to Supporters because that's how Chris designed it - it's a perk of being a Supporter.

It can be "broken" by a tiny bit of script typed into the address field, or even by just disabling CSS; that's not the point though.

you know , this was the very first message when i started posting messages here in CP. i got replies asking me to change the viewing option to "expanded view".. but along with it came a reply from one you guys stating that the option is only for the supporters. and Nish suggested me to use [view Thread] and then save it to disk, but still i we wont be able to see all the posts at a time. and now the individual posts looking for server everytime, life has become really difficult.

Gee, i hate to be doing so much self-promotion here, but if it's making you sad you should really give my Print forum script[^] a try. Needs only Firefox [^]and Greasemonkey[^] to be installed, lets you print forums, save forums, admire the beautifully minimalistic white background of forums... it's all there, trust me!

May be you should increase the font of your sig :P
