If you change the Date Filter to Last Week or Last Month to expand the date range, the entire forum is reset and you have to find the thread all over again. Shouldn't View Thread sort of ignore the Date Filter? Or possibly, shouldn't the changed Date Filter only apply to the current view which is a single thread?
Chris,
You never responded to by question about viewing the thread when last visit was set, but I just found the way to get this. Instead of viewing the thread, bookmark it. Then go to your bookmark and access the thread from there. This expands the entire thread. When you are through viewing, delete the bookmark.
I did notice one thing about this, however. I had bookmarked that dumb thread from PallabGT (I believe) about data hiding (unfortunately I have just deleted this bookmark so I cannot reproduce the problem). When I revisited this data hiding thread, the front of the thread was displayed along with a pagination reference (this thread was many pages long). When I clicked on the next page, I was jerked out of the bookmarked forum, back to the forum from which I was visiting when I went to the header and clicked on my bookmarks.
Seems to be a problem with bookmarked multi-paged threads and visiting subsequent pages.

We have a problem with permalinks in ThreadView. I've added it to our bug list.
This has been fixed in the latest version

Editing is all screwed up now. This started last week I believe. It doesn't import the original post or subject and if you don't do it manually it completely overwrites the original post.

Poor Chris. The trouble I cause him... and vice versa, i suppose. 
For future reference, you can add CPhog-specific bugs to our tracker here: http://trac.gixug.com/cphog/report[^]

Thanks man. I had to stop using CPhog when Chris changed something the other day
(the day he posted about it possibly breaking).
I feel bad about reporting anything since it's such a cool free script.

Well I just spent some time looking around at that. I have read some of the help but I am still mostly unable to decipher yet another wonderful browser based UI. Am I interpreting this correctly, the changes sets view indicates you have made changes as recently as 3/14? But I can't figure out how to the the latest scripts, can you get them from the tracker site? Or do I go back to your personal site to get them? I want to make sure I am running the latest stuff before I post a ticket for the editing bug I am experiencing.

Hi All/Chris,
See Neena Posted Messages[^]. It appears all comments are to articles either posted recently, or updated recently (recently = yesterday or today ).

My Internet Explorer showed that the user is advertising the wrecked KTSInfotech.com. I think that should be more of a brothel than a software development unit.
About a couple of weeks back, we have spotted another KTSInfotech. Chris has even banned their IPs. I think they should have changed their ISP and posting it again with a new IP address.

I think the level changes should go through a moderation. The weekly service that runs to convert levels should now check one more condition like moderator flagged the account as good.

Thank you. But Chris. I just thought of suggesting you to consider having geographically distributed moderators. Perhaps you can start off by having sections of the website moderated by CP MVPs. I guess they should be distributed across timezones.
That way the entire load would not hit the central Toronto team all-in-the morning. Besides this, when we have more such control, the poor server need not serve the stench from such bad swine and we can nip it in the bud.
Even when we report such nuisance, I am sure, the reporter should have felt a bit down since it would come to your desk on Monday morning. As a developer we would not mind recieving a lot of feature requests since we feel glad that our product is getting fans but when it comes to reports, it is for sure, a little negative effect. Isn't it?

Every article and every message has a "Report" button. Please use it.

I was just thinking that sometimes article submissions are voted down because:
a. There's no real content, just code, from a foreign person
b. The article content is in a language other than English
What if CP had a cultural area (sub-domains even) where non-English writing members could upload their articles and code? It may solve part of the skeleton article uploads and give some people a chance to create an article that they're comfortable with.
Just a thought.

I think you're point 'a' is a very good reason why they are voted down, there is no excuse for just posting code, or in a lot of cases recently not even that, just the article submissions contents.
They deserve more than just voting down, but unfortunately you're not allowed to do that to people so easily anymore.

At times when we encounter the message 'Items need attention. It appears the message is already posted in the forum', the only ways to come back to the forum are:
1) Use browser back button crossing the big OK/CANCEL onBeforeUnload prompt of web browser.
2) Use the cancel button and come back to plain page. Then again use the same cancel button to come back to the thread and then refresh the page to see the thread.
I think, step (2) should be corrected in such a way that CANCEL button should redirect to the forum page with the thread in question being displayed.

A better option that we will add is to have a breadcrumb trail.

Thank you. That should be really excellent since it provides still enhanced navigational ease for the user through the available paths.

Not sure if this is something you know about, but in some articles, a // comment in a [pre] block creates a newline that shouldn't be there, for example here[^]. The newlines are in the HTML that the "Get article's HTML" link returns, but they aren't in my original HTML.
Extra newlines aren't appearing in this article[^], though.

Yes, we're aware that some articles had problems but it's been hard to reliably find them

Is it not possible, in your 404 error page, to check the requested URL and if it ends with article.asp and equivalent article.aspx exists, suggest that one or automatically redirect to that page?
Old links in other websites don't work. We know how to solve the issue, but those who are new to CP don't.

We do exactly this and way more. We have 19,000 redirects in place and go as far as ensuring that even querystring values are corrected and replaced so that old bookmarked messages should still get you to the right place.
If you find an old link that's busted let me know and I see why it isn't in the list. I did another run through yesterday and found 42 that were missing. There are also a couple dozen posted around early December that I think may be missing but haven't had a chance to check

Chris Maunder wrote: why it isn't in the list.
Is there any reason to have a list? I'm new in ASP.net and was wondering to just get the URL and change the .asp with .aspx in the string and make (something like) a file exists, or similar .net file command, call locally and if it found, then redirect. This seems to have a problem that caused you to maintain a list. Would you please tell me the trick or reason?
