Forums are better so that the question and solution are helpfull to others too.
Like me, i just read the posts and learn.
and remember, ppl who help others via CP forums are not getting paided to offer 1-2-1 help so they wont be online for you to help you on need basis and if they do on other messengers like yahoo, msn, etc, you have to be very polite in asking for their time to help you.

Hello guys,
I was wondering if it would not be better , that after modifying the post the yellow "new" icon appeared below it or the subject text would be changed for example , to smth like this "MFC question... [ modified ]",because I can never guess that somebody has modified the post until I view it.

I like the idea.
I try and modify the subject of the post manually, but I often forget.

Yep , I thought about it also.But then thought the forums would become very colourful with green(updated) and yellow(new) icons.
But I think the best solution would be a updated icon as you stated but with yellow background , similar to the new icons background just with the text changed to updated.
And also there would be one little detail . If the message was just posted and hence had the new icon , then after modifying it I think it would be more correct if the modified icon appeared next to the new icon, instead of changing the new text to modified.

Hello,
I don't know about anybody else, but I'm getting a little rattled because of the <pre> and <code> formatting tags. When those tags are used, the leading spaces and tabs are removed, as well as any newlines between code lines.
IMHO it's better to let the leading spaces and tabs stay as well as the newlines. This makes the code look more like in the editor and reads more easy.

For me, I only use <code> with inline stuff this. I use <pre> for all else, and to keep the blank lines intact, just insert a space.

Ah I see. It still removes the newlines if you don't insert spaces. Thanks for the information.

Are there any plans to allow a person to recast his or her vote? I just voted somebody a 5 when I wanted to vote them a one and it is so annoying me.

yeah, Chris has that in the TODO list (i guess) for a long long time now but meanwhile you need to improve your hand-eye co-ordination.

I'm curious to know why the curse filtering does not replace those bad words with their equivalent case replacement. For example, I had typed the F-word as a joking reply to someone with a capital F and it replaced it with f***. I was wondering since my sentence began with F*** and grammer was on my mind.

You coulld type in F * * * yourself as a workaround.
E.g.
F***ing crazy!
Hope this helps

That's f***ing obvious, so I guess the answer to my original question is because it wasn't f***ing designed to.

but why the f*** do you want to use the F-Word?

I don't (usually). Just found it programming deficient in that it doesn't keep the case correctly. I would have assumed that they used something like string replace so that the other characters stayed intact. But I guess they're using array lists to switch one whole word with another.

Hi every body.
I want to ask about PHP, why there is no section for PHP under the "web/scripting" category?
|
|
|
|
|
Because this is an MS centric site, and PHP is primarily a *nix language.

Does the signatures are individually appended in each messages rather than fetched from a central place? I think the latter should be ok since some redundant text storage in each of the individual users' message can be avoided and as well as and when the user updates his/her signature, each message would carry the updated URL etc.
Would'nt that be a nice thing?

I like to see my older sigs, just to know what I was thinking when I had that sig there.

Hi,
Just observed when you delete a message, the subject and the content are not actually wiped out but they are respectively string replaced with ('Msg Deleted', and Modified string).
This would'nt be a friendlier one since it would eat up some threads in 'Threaded View' of the forum. Rather, I would suggest the following:
(*)If the thread in question has no child threads, delete it.
(*)If the thread has large number (more than a specified configuration entry) of replies elicited to it, then lock it from deletion.
(*)In case of threads with deletion, you can try to check whether any votes are recorded and with some administrator approval.
Is'nt it?

I've noticed that the readability of postings on this wonderful site seems to have trended downward lately... and I wonder if any other members feel the same way.
I don't want to come across as elitist, but there's a certain threshold of spelling, grammar and vocabulary errors that, when exceeded, simply make me want to stop reading an article. That threshold seems to be crossed a lot more than it used to on The Code Project. Some of it may be due to an increase in the number of members for whom English is a second or third language; I also suspect that the language skills of native English speakers have declined considerably, at least as far as reading and writing good prose is concerned. Kids growing up in a environment of constant cell-phone prattle and television babble probably see little rewards in mastering the written word.
I don't have any pat solutions for this. Obviously people that write badly can still have good ideas and information to share, and we would all suffer if that sharing was to stop. And I don't mean to sound condescending to non-native English speakers; very much the contrary, in fact. I have great admiration for those who speak more than one language. I, like too many Americans, am mono-lingual, and I'm not proud of it.
So again, I have no easy fixes... I doubt if the people who sacrifice their time keeping The Code Project running can afford the resources to re-write, edit, or even proofread submissions. I'm just wondering if anyone else is bothered by this trend.
Regards,
John Bendiksen
