Start by writing an interesting article on why you would need such money, and then, maybe, you'll be allowed to edit it ad nauseam.

Sure; first you need to write an article that generates 10x that in banner revenue for Chris....

Shows all forums as having new messages. In each forum shows all messages as new.
Also shows date of last visit as 5.00 1 Jan '00.
Probable cause not updating last visit time?

I will try and get a fix in place today.
Edit: can you try closing your browser and opening a new one and letting me know if the problem is still there? I'm trying to determine if it's a database issue (which it doesn't seem to be, based on initial checks) or a client side / cookie issue (most likely the case since we switched to domain cookies)

Bold Indicates new messages
After login, some times all the forums in left side are showing in bold. I don't think all the forums have new messages at a time, because i'm signing in CP everyday(almost) & also some forums(Get Togethers, Sales/Marketing, etc., ) doesn't have new messages. I have faced this today too.

Any one else observed that:
The notification for this message:
http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/3548996/Re-iPad-Owners-Are-Selfish-Elites.aspx[^]
had the following subject:
W0NvZGVQcm9qZWN0XSBSZTogaVBhZCBPd25lcnMgQXJlIOKAmFNlbGZpc2ggRWxpdGVzLuKAmQ==
(Technically not Base64 but some kind of encoding).
I think it happened yesterday too but I was posting mainly in Hindi forums so I attributed it to lack of Hindi fonts.

Seems to be Base64 - probably MIME encoding. And could be because that post has a </br> closing tag in the signature. Not that it is incorrect, but maybe CP's parser cannot handle it? To test it, I have added a </br> tag at the end of this post.

Can you please forward me the notification email?
The message is from a Kiwi, so you can't really trust it to begin with.

There is a new Application Lifecycle forum. What puzzles me is it is categorized under General Programming, and not under Product Lifecycle.
BTW: I've always been puzzled by the Graphics forum being under Product Lifecycle.

An oversight.

We're not a designer-focussed site, but making your apps pretty and usable (not in that order) is an important step in creating a product.

Not quite sure what you mean here. If you intend to have a forum on Graphic Design, yes I would put that under Product Lifecycle I guess, but then you should provide a Graphics Programming forum too, as most questions right now in the Graphics forum are about drawing a rectangle, changing a color, cropping, what have you, mostly all programmer's questions, unrelated to design.

Should the SB+S menu item not be moved under HELP, rather than under the Programming Discussions section of the Q&A menu?
It would be more logical with relation to site content, and also help to shorten the Q&A menu further.
Also;
The Post a Question item under Help, where do those questions end up? or is this a duplicate of the Ask a Question under the Q&A menu.

I think that's a fine suggestion.

Are we in danger of confusing people with the growing list of forums? This question[^] was posted in the C++/MFC forum, rightly in my opinion. However the code snippet showed that it used Managed C++/CLI and thus could be related to Windows Forms. Also an elemental part of the question actually relates to the Windows API, but luckily he did not use any of the ATL/WTL/STL classes in his code.
So where does that leave the OP - confused perhaps.
It's time for a new signature.

We had the C++, C++/CLI and Windows Forms forums for years.
My preferred solution that morphed into Quick Answers: a single forum where each question is tagged by topic. So the short answer of where the poster should ask his question: right here[^].

And I think your preferred solution is beginning to show its strengths. But there are now even more 'new' forums in the 'old' list so new posters are rightly somewhat confused; or should that be 'spoilt for choice'? 
It's time for a new signature.

On the programming discussions when clicking on the subject before the page fully loads, it reloads the page. This never used to happen previously. I am using a version of latest firefox compiled from source. I think the version is 4.0 beta.

Welcome to the club having *slow* internet connection! 
This is a known issue I would say, reported few times. If the page is not fully loaded and you try to access a certain message then page-reposts.
So, keep patience, let the whole page load. Once done, all will be as expected.

I have fast internet connection. My office network is very fast but programming discussions pages on CP are slow.
