What a way to ask for something.

It would also make it more likely that people would get an answer, even if they didn't in the first day of asking.
I totally agree with Christian, it would be very nice and could help out with those questions that get lost below other posts that contain discussions.

You've just looked in the C++ forum then ?

Hey, at least Logo had, at it's inception, a mechanical turtle. VB has always lacked even that... - Shog9 04-09-2002
Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002

I'd be interested to know what people are searching for in order to reach codeproject (I'm assuming Chris has access to referrer logs) - then he could tailor a page that'd match all the homework help requests (possibly giving a polite message that we'll help with problems but not write the whole thing for people)

I'll second that idea, it would certainly be a productive thing to do. I often miss questions that I can answer because they disappear from sight very quickly at peak periods.
Not sure about the structure of the forum database tables, it might be a tricky thing to implement and the speed may not make it worthwhile.

I'll add these to the list - unfortunately they'll have to wait till we've sorted out DB speed issues.

FYI - I can see your picture now, I was at work earlier, however I doubt that was the issue because my picture was missing as well.

It came from one of the first issues of Wired if I remember correctly. The closest I can tell is that it's a turkey-monkey (or a monkey-turkey, depending on your outlook on life).

Following on from a thread in my most recent article I think it would be a good idea to have some way of linking to articles rather than absolute URLs. Often articles are moved, whether from unedited to a section, or from one section to another. Although the error page is good at detecting it, Uwe Keim recommended something that seems pretty good:
http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/CountryListBox.asp?select=353698&df=100&forumid=13660&msg=353698#xx353429xx[^]
A kind of CMS tag that could be parsed. However, to avoid overhead with processing each page I suggested using some kind of ArticleRedirect page:
http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/CountryListBox.asp?select=353698&df=100&forumid=13660&msg=353698#xx353698xx[^]
That uses some kind of article identity number on the querystring to forward you to the correct article. That way, when the article is moved it can still be found successfully. The ArticleRedirect script would just perform a look-up on that number and Response.Redirect them on.

Dunno what's up, but I don't get "dynamic view" as an option any more. I don't want the normal view, preview, or threaded view. I miss my dynamic view, I want it back. 
And I don't even see the toolbar aka buttons while writing this message. No smiley buttons, no &, no <, no >, clickety button, no nothing. Not even the preview button. (Er, is it because of any design changes or is it just me?)
And (yes, there's more) for the past week or so (eternity?) I can't seem to be able to shrug off the "new" messages. All the messages are new. The lounge has more than 5k new messages now for example. I logged off, came back as an anonymous user, cleared history, cookies, refreshed so many times your server must have thought it was getting a DoS attack. Nothing happened. I work from home and connect to the net from this machine only, so I can't see whether this happens from other machines too.
Please oh please do something about it Chris, and save a fellow human (CPian) from further distress.
Regards,
Rohit Sinha

You're not alone, Rohit. Several CPians have reported troubles of this sort recently. Rest assured that Chris is hard at work trying to solve the problem. In the meantime, have you considered some of your alternatives? Daylight, for one. Fresh air. Long walks... Drinking heavily and mumbling incoherent ramblings to complete strangers... I don't recommend that last; I haven't tried it but for some reason it just popped into my head as something that might be fun to do sometime. If you do try it, let me know how it works out...
