Hi to all.
Well, I am a pretty new one on codeproject.com and I am intereastin in one thing...
Is here exists some kind of offline forum? I mean that it would be useful for those people who have not permanent Internet connection to develop some Windows-based client to CodeProject forums. So any user could install this client and have ability to synchronize forum messages on the site.
I excuse if such application already exists and ask someone to give me link where I can download this application.

No such software exists. The CodeProject forums are purely web-based.

I am using Firefox, and the Author field is empty when viewing the boards in Topic view. It is working properly in Message view however.

I have typed an article twice and get to the part where it goes to page four and i get the following error
The Page: : /script/submit/SubmitArticle4.asp
The Time: : Thursday, May 13, 2004, 4:04:17 AM
The Server: : Web2
The Error No. : 0x80070047. Remember this number. There will be a test.
Would like to submit my article but i honestly dont' want to have to set there and retype it all over again. i have the page saved at this point hoping that SubmitARticle4.asp will start working again so i can hit submit and it will submit.

Have you considered using an HTML editor first, then copying and pasting it into the submit wizard?
I've created articles, but I've done them over a number of days so that I could check and verify the information I am writing before submitting - I can't think why anyone would sit and type a whole article in the submission wizard. [Well, I can imaging that some people would - I would think that some of the articles in purgatory were submitted by people just typing the whole thing in the submission wizard]

Hmm, 0x80070047 looks fairly HRESULT-ish to me. An 8007 code is FACILITY_WIN32, so let's put 0x47 into Error Lookup:
"No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time because there are already as many connections as the computer can accept."
Probably means the database server was too busy.

How about using a nice cross-browser WYSIWYG editor. It would be nice to be able to easily create links, highlight code etc. when posting a comment with FireFox or Mozilla.
http://www.freetextbox.com/Default.aspx looks nice.

Do you mean someone doesn't use IE, or what a good idea?

OMG, what an awesome idea.

How about using a [textarea] for all browsers + an "open clickety-editor" button for IE?
Everytime I try to submit an article (okay, that was not too often yet) the page tells me that I have to use Netscape or IE.
Mozilla is nearly a Netscape, but Bob is too stupid to understand it, so I have to re-logon with IE and try again. Then I have to wait for the WYSIWYG editor to load, until I can click the "HTML" button and paste the article into the text field.
I cannot remember that I had ever needed the WYSIWYG editor, but that thing is the only reason why I still have IE installed. Give me a simple text field for my Mozilla browser and I'll be really happy.

On reflection, WYSIWYG is overkill, all I really want is the simple functionality that IE users have - a textarea with some javascript buttons to do links etc.
I see the smiley toolbar, why can't I see the other toolbar?

Try my Article Writer Helper. There may be some IE only functionality but most of it should work since its mainly javascript.

That looks nice, but I was really just talking about the editor for adding comments in the forums. It shouldn't be too hard to modify it to work for non IE browsers.

I would like to suggest that you give users the option of having threads in the forum displayed by either the time of the thread's start or the time of the last post in it.
Every other forum I visit sorts threads by the time of the last post and I prefer this option by far over the current implementation.
If this option is already available, well, never mind.

It's already available but unfortunately it kills the server. It'll be available in the next version of the forums, but until then...

Thanks for the info Chris ! I appreciate it.

I noticed that this happens on the blogs and articles, but not on the normal message boards.

I know that this is a developer forum, but since there is Sysadmin forum, why not a BizTalk one?
Hope this is not a repost. If so, I'm sorry.

They should add more competitions or tell us before they actually make them, also some of us are still not using .net, I did try it once but found it ok, I probably will transfer to using .net eventually but right now I'm sticking to writing games in DirectX.
P.S. This contest was up for like a couple of MONTHS now!!!

When I get an email because someone has posted in my Blog (Personal Page) on CP, I get an email notification which says that "A new reply has been posted to the discussions at 'Personal Page for Member 22542'".
Would it be possible to change it so that instead of saying "Member 22542" it says the member name, in this case "Colin Angus Mackay"?
Many Thanks.
