In addition to seeing a person's message posts sorted by date (descending order), it would be nice to see them sorted by forum groups. Sometimes I'm looking for a message that I know was in a certain forum and I can't remember a search string to search on. Going through the entire chronological list is slow.

Got the following error from this link http://www.codeproject.com/script/comments/forums.asp?forumid=1640[^]

An error has occurred
Oops!

Hear that crunching sound? Something just broke.
Why did this happen?

Because either we screwed up in a way that wasn't immediately obvious until now, or because the ASP engine running this site has just rolled over and died, or because the site is simply having a bad hair day.
Options

1. Try and do whatever you did again. Try again.
2. Open the CodeProject home page, and then look for links to the information you want. Sure, the information you need is probably on this page, but you never know your luck in a big city.
3. Pray, curse, or sacrifice burnt offerings, then see 1.

What Do You Use???

We need a what do you use for _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ forum. I think I've seen the "Which font do you use in your IDE?" question twice now in as many days. Any time now it will be "I'm an average developer looking for an average laptop that can run VS 2005 and SQL 2005 decently. What do you recommend?" Then it will be, "I'm sick of VSS what do you guys use to manage source code?" then after that it will be "Can you recommend a good drive imaging product for backups?" then after that it will be "Do you think dual core is better than dual quad core?" then it will be "I need to update Video Cards what do you recommend?" then it will be "C4n U gv m3 unl0ck c0d3s 4 v1sta?" then it will be "Chris your grid is cool how do I set focus?"

Just a uh... suggestion for creating somewhere to store these brilliant and often repeated suggestions. The java forum isn't being used for anything let's put them there. Laugh | :laugh:

Profile updation suggestion

14-Mar-07 1:23

Bob being secretive again?

Well firstly my response was too the post about OS's. Also there are some others but I have 90 pages of documentation to look over for tomorrow so my head keeps saying "Execute the core first then run the startup script but close the buggy process then..." (why didn't I just stick to business?) so I'll get back to you on the rest of them.

I updated my profile and changed my display name. But it is not reflecting in previously posted message ? Why don't you display that changed name in previous messages too ?

This problem will help spammers or abusers to post messaged in forums in different names

Re: Profile updation error

13-Mar-07 18:57

On the flipside having messages change their author name automatically means it's difficult to track members who post under one name then change their name and post under another. With the current system you can look back historically and see.

It's also a very hefty load on the servers

I guess most people these days won't be as bothered as I am, but the width of the Code Project layout really annoys me and I feel it's time I mentioned it! Smile | :)

I have a 17-inch CRT set to 1028x768 so I can actually read it with my relatively poor eyesight. I gather Code Project is designed to be displayed in a window about 1028 pixels wide. This is OK if I'm viewing the page full screen, but very irritating when I have it in a smaller window (for instance, to copy and paste to VS, or check more than one page at once).

In this case, I have to scroll to the right in order to get past the advert on the left and actually read the meaningful content and the menu items on the right. It's not difficult to do, and of course, it'll be fixed when I get that 20-inch TFT monitor I've always dreamed of, but as I have to do it every single time I visit the site right now, it would be nice to have at least the option of a narrower window layout...
