It would be useful if .NET 1 and .NET 2 articles were separated into two distinct groups. Frequently I find I'm loooking at a .NET 1 article that's no longer relevant to .NET 2. And .NET 3 will be with us before long...
Although it may be tricky to do the split easily (though the solution type in the demo project will give a clue), the other option would be the ability to sort search results by date. This won't be as good as .NET partitioning, but it would be better than nothing.

Anyone else getting JS errors while trying to vote?
Example
Line: 497
Char: 4
Error: Automation server can't create object
Code: 0
XP, Service pack 2
IE 6
Already did a control refresh, still getting the errors. Not a big deal I don't need to vote but strange...
I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:

Hmmm, if a person that doesn't post messages is a lurker, shouldn't the member that has posted over 5000 messages be called a curler (i.e., someone who curls up in bed with nothing else to do)?

I couldn't post over 10,000 messages to Code Project if I was curled up in bed.

One thing I've noticed when posting to the message boards is that blank lines are removed from pre tag sections. This doesn't happen when the pre tags are used in articles, only posts to the message boards.
For example, here are a few lines of code without the pre tag:
SomeObject obj = new SomeObject();
// Tell object to do something.
obj.DoSomething();
// Tell object to do something else.
obj.DoSomethingElse();
And with the pre tags:
SomeObject obj = new SomeObject();
obj.DoSomething();
obj.DoSomethingElse();
Removing the blank lines makes the code less readable. Is there a way to change this? Is there something I could do when posting to ensure that the blank lines remain?
Thanks!

Hmm. Works fine for Opera and Mozilla, but not IE. I've tried playing with the stylesheet but I can't seem to get it to behave.
I'm open to suggestions from the audience.

A workaround is to put a single space in the blank line
e.g.
Line 1
Line 3

Thanks for the tip. That's what I'll do for now.

Blank likes aren't removed in <pre> tags in articles, does that give you an idea as to the cause?

It's something to do with about a zillion nest tables in the forums vs 1 table in the articles. Unfortunately I simply don't have the time to dig in and dissect at the moment so I'm just going to leave it as-is and fix it in the new code.
David Stone and Shog are laughing and pointing at me, I just know it.

Knowing this, I always make sure there is at least one space so that the line is not removed.

Can we have an ignore list feature so that we can ignore certain users?
|
|

You have to have a feature for that? Can't you just ignore them...manually?

Yes, but they clutter up the place.

Part of me thinks this is a good idea, part of me prefers that there isn't a situation where an abusive member is ignored by the people most likely to report him and so is then free to cause havoc to those who haven't ignored him.

I can see where you are coming from.
How about a compromise? For example: If I'm ignoring a particular user then I don't get email notification if they respond to me. I see all their posts as grey. They can't use an email link to send me email. If I happen to be browsing a forum and I see they are up to no good, then I can still report them.
[Addition]
Also, if I see a post by a user I am ignoring, I don't get [reply] [email] etc. links at the bottom of their post - waste of bandwidth really.

Something i've been toying with for a while is a sort of "quick bio" feature, where when you click on a user's name above a post, you get a panel to the right of their post, displaying their ID, post count, article count, etc. (i think you know where this came from). Should such a feature ever be built into CP proper, it might become useful to add something else: user voting.
Votes on a user would effect the initial visibility of future messages posted by them, and would presumably decay towards Neutral over time.
And yes, this is getting into Slashdot territory, but at least voting on a user vs. aggregating post scores avoids directly penalizing users for occasionally posting on controversial subjects, while providing a quick way of recognizing The Voice of Experience in the forums. Assuming it didn't just lead to vendettas. But we're all adults here, right? *snicker*

How does one remove one's self from the CodeProject member list? The delete button seems to be missing.

In response to J4amieC who has since deleted his post:
Why did you respond to him? The more that people respond, the more it fuels his fire. Just ignore him...outright.
