a) People are clever enough to find such services all by them selves
b) The translations those engines give are in general good for a laugh only (on a side note, the translations can be hilarious sometimes  )
c) What about copyright implications?
d) What's the real benefit?

Something I think would be invaluable would be to have a section in each article that shows what other articles refer to it.
A situation I have often come across is I have searched for an topic, been directed to a particular article and read the article. Sometimes the articles are dated and have been updated in subsequent related articles by the same or another author. Other times, a different author will use one article as a starting point and expand on a topic.
Usually when that happens the author refers to the previous article in their own article. It would be handy to have a listing of all articles that refer to the current one so you could see related content without having to search repeatedly.
Just an idea.
Love the site! And the newsletters!

I think it would actually even be _valuable_! I'd value it priceless.
Visual Studio can't evaluate this, can you?
public object moo<br />
{<br />
__get { return moo; }<br />
__set { moo = value; }<br />
}

Ah, the English language, so precise!
in·val·u·a·ble
–adjective beyond calculable or appraisable value; of inestimable worth; priceless: an invaluable art collection; her invaluable assistance
No wonder it's listed as a class 5 language! But the feature would indeed be valuable, however we define it!
Cheers,
Bob

OK. I post a message where I'm being ironic and somebody treats it as serious and gets seriously put out about it. Could we please expand the smileys to have an ironic smiley?

What would it look like?
And would we have to explain irony to everyone? (I just keep think of that annoyingly incorrect song by Alinis Morriset)

An icon of a wet wedding cake! Brilliantly ironic!

She was actually on south park. I had totally forgotten.

I replied to a message and even have the quote from it and after a new message was posted the reply moved to it instead here[^].

When a user visits his own / others profile, we can see the messages posted
by that user. Is it possible to show number of replies each message has got in front of the message title. This will help to find messages with some replies, after all everybody must be interested in seeing how many replies his/her question has got. I think, this will be very helpfull, if in case it is possible. What do you think about this ?

When I post a message, then use the back button, I get a warning that I will lose what I have done. At first I was very concerned; I was not sure if it was correct. In fact, it is not correct; the post at that point has been made. So I now know I can ignore the message, but I am always concerned when I get a message such as that.
Obviously most people don't use the back button as much as some of us do, since web developers create web sites as if the back button is not used. If possile, it would really help for the web site to be able to detect that a message has been posted and when we navigate past the text that has been posted, then no message is produced warning us of something that is not true.

That's how it's meant to work now. Lemme check... [Checked. It works fine for me. Hit Submit, hit back button, no warning]

Okay, thanks for checking. I got the warning twice each on separate days and such.
Update: it happened again this time too. I use IE 7. Note that I get the warning after using the back button twice; once to get back to the message entry page and again to navigate back from it.
At least you are aware of it. There is no need to fix it soon but at least you will know to look for it.

How about having a Number of Views that a particular query/reply had? This way, forums can have a feature like 'Most Active Queries'.
Related: Number of child threads that a query has.
But by the nature of forums DHTML, only one when you open a thread, it has to send a AJAX call to the server.

That's done in the articles, but really isn't possible in the forums, al least not without generating alot of traffic, because of the viewing format. In "Messages" view, you get to view up to 50 messages at a time and you get the full text of every one of those messages. It's just a simple matter of showing and hiding DIV or SPAN tags to show or hide the messages. Clicking on one doesn't generate a round trip to the server, so there's nothing going back telling the server which one you clicked on.

Shouldn't posts be checked for a subject before being submitted? Because this post[^] (see above), has no subject and cannot be clicked.
