This is a great idea, Do you also want to have Real world events that are attached to a geographic location, such as the VS 2005 go live conferance. Ect?

|
|
Yes, definitely. A really cool implementation would provide a link to the location in GoogleMaps

Any chance we can have actual date controls for the time periods in the search page? Pretty please with sugar on top!

If you can find me a nice cross-browser, javascript-only pop-up calendar control I'll install it next week.

I assume you're too busy to look.  These are the first few from Google:

Tigra Calendar[^] Free JavaScript applet.
Calendars[^] Numerous free.

Yes, Sorry. I was taking lazy to new heights 
What I actually meant was "A javascript calendar control you've used and like."

It seems being in the IT field requires mastering that early on in life. Been there, done that. Hence, people's love for CP.
I've actually never used one, but the ones I've seen in other websites has made me wonder why CP doesn't use one.
Also, now that you mention your "laziness", I'm curious to know what your workday is like? Is CP a side-work that you do or does it create enough revenue that you do nothing else? If the latter, is your work mostly webmaster stuff or do you seek out new advertisers and promoters and do the CP promotional bit at IT fairs and such? TMI?

CodeProject is 24/7. Content, infrastructure (including the ongoing rewrite), legal and business, office management, contests, bugs, forum moderation and managing site abuse, architecture, database management (though Dmitry is less and less willing to let me near SQL anymore), design and graphics (though Will is now providing most of the mockups) plus everything else from helping people with email and lost password problems, disputes, plagarism complaints, talking to publishers, talking to others in the Industry, our advertising systems (and endlesse battles to ensure ads are handled sensitively and appropriately) and general enquiries.
Then I have my morning coffee and really get down to work

Interesting. Varied enough to keep it that way at least.

isn't it be good if new tag from the message i already read be removed
(including current filter)
It is Good to be Important but!
it is more Important to be Good
[My Question]

The new tag indicates that the messages are new since you last logged in or of that sort, it does not represent read or unread posts.

storing and querying against a timestamp is cheap, doing the same for each of the millions of messages on CP is not. Per message/thread mark read is nice, but doesn't scale well to large sites.

i don't think it will be that resource consuming
1st it will be done on client side
2nd as soon as user click on the link (to open the message) the flag will be stored and queried at the time of refresh/ load of page
3rd it will only check for messages already having new tag at most it need to keep record of 100 or so messages which is already been kept

ok they are not storing tags for new message they are storing time and all the messages posted later show with new mark
and if you have posted any message then it is relaxed by some time

Hopefully, Chris read's this, cause I'm wondering about the new tag and a few others. Regardless of whether I log out or not, the new icon shows up on all messages. Additionally on a page that lists all of the forums along with a bolded message count, the page always says, '* Forums in bold have new messages since 11:00 Monday 2nd October, 2006'. I don't know what's so special about that date and time, but I do know that while I do not logout often, I have logged out several times since that date and time.

Cleaned out everything. After logging in, it looks like it is working properly. Thanks. Just don't tell Osmo about the problem, okay? We'll just keep it between ourselves, for now.

i thought about it and applying it from some days
how ever i am not an asp programmer but i think this will work
why don't we have a button which will reset the time stored in cookies so that we don't have to login again
it is good to be important but it is more important to be good

Hello,
Two articles of mine were moved yesterday (this one[^] and that one[^] ). Unfortunately the sample projects can no longer be downloaded. It looks like the articles' reference to the ZIP file was not updated.

Sorry about that. All fixed.

I have noticed recently, as in the last several months, that my machines at home are no longer able to log into CP. I have cleared all temp files, deleted cookies, cache, etc... and still no luck.
My machine at work is just fine, however, I never "log-out" of CP ... I do turn off this PC, but I do not click the "Sign out" link.
Is that affecting my ability to sign in on my other machines? I have never had an issue with this before, and thought perhaps it was just a bug that would work itself out, but it is still happening to me.
[update]
I should also note, that on my machines at home, when I attempt to sign in, I receive no error messages or the like. The system just does not log me in ... Last modified: 11mins after originally posted --

No, it shouldn't.

That's weird. Have you tried other browsers? Does our FAQ[^] help?

Happens to both IE and FF on two different machines; one running Win2k the other running XP. I even nuked the Pwd Mgr stuff on FF, thinking that was messing with it ... but that didn't do it.
They will take the user name/password, but the system never actually logs me on ... (i.e, name doesn't show at top of screen, if I try to browse for a user, I get the "can't show picture unless you're logged in)
