Full threading and most recent post first are not mutually impossible. Dejanews was able to do this back in the late 90's. The fact that so almost no current forum software is capable of this blows my mind. All that's needed is to add a combo box to "sort by date of first post in thread" or "sort by date of most recent post in thread".

There's nothing innovative about CP's forums. Beyond that, "innovative" doesn't always mean (and almost never means) "user-friendly".

John's been asking for this feature for ages now. If he couldn't get Chris to do it, I doubt if anyone else can

I just noticed that, once in a while (like tonight), the green bar that contains links to other parts of the site runs off the right side of the screen. The rest of the page resizes cleanly to my screen boundaries, but the Lounge link and part of the StoreFront link are off screen. Weird.

For me too. All pages show only upto partial 'StoreFront' and a horizontal scrollbar appears.

Chris just hasn't gotten around to fixing it yet.

Could we have a "subscribe to thread" button so that we can be notified anytime something happens in the thread (new post)?
Would this strain the servers too much?

A big thick one, so you can whack yourself on the head with it.

This is way up on the suggestions list (and discussed a lot) but hasn't yet been implemented because of the load it would cause. What we need is a dedicated server to search and mail out forum subscription notifications. And the code to go with it. And a little more bandwidth 
It'll definitely happen though, but unfortunately I don't know when. Soonish

Could we have a new forum for DirectX? There are very few 'up to date' articles on CP relating to the newer versions of the SDK and even fewer relating to Direct3D as opposed to DirectDraw. Also I have not found many good DirectX forums on the internet. I believe this would keep in with the microsoft centricity of the site.

|
|
|
|
Would it be more benificial to have a general DirectX / OpenGL / GDI+ forum? I don't want to splinter the forums too much...

Thats fine by me, looking forward to seeing it...
|
|

|

Should think about including XNA in this forum as well.
|
|
|
|
|
Yea, I would be fine with that. I have been looking for a good article about DirectX, but everything i have found has been too out-dated, or didn't work, or was too advanced.
Thanks.

I don't suppose we are going to see this new forum any time soon

If you're looking for a way to do DirectX, there is a Microsoft DirectX SDK (December 2006) that includes 5 tutorials. I already understand more about it. It is made for .NET 1.1, so it is kinda out of date. It depends whether you are doing your first DirectX or not. Sorry, but I do not have a link to the download. I just now found the tutorials. So anybody that finds it could reply a link to it. Hopefully, after I'm done with the tutorials, I will be able to write an article.

As far as I know, all the SDK's contain a few tutorials. But truth be told, you don't need the SDK to access the tut's, most DirectX tut's I have come across are all basically the same, and almost identical to those in the SDK.
Here is a good site for beginners http://www.directtutorial.com/[^]

today, at work, the C++ forum was censored.
why ?
because it would seems that someone put a link to google with the "safe" search to off.
Would it be possible to parse the google links to change that ?
BTW, our It department is kinda' dictatorial in their dealings with us lowly programmers.
anyway, I will try to have my boss white list CodeProject with the IT dept.
