Roger Allen21-Nov-01 7:39 Roger Allen 21-Nov-01 7:39  I was just looking up my membership level, and I am shown as Bronze level while someone else who has the same number of articals (2);same join day (6th June 2000), but less messages posted has silver level? Do a search on "roger" And compare Wes Rogers with myself? Whats the discrepincy here? I am sure I should be silver level by now.... Membership status calculated as follows: 1-4 articles posted = Bronze. 5-14 articles = Silver. 15-24 articles = Gold. 25+ articles = Platinum. Each 500 messages posted, and each year of membership elevates you 1 level up to a maximum of Gold. Posting a single message automatically guarantees you Bronze membership.

I think it would be nice if CP has a file upload area. You can limit the file size to a max of 300 KB per file and a total max of 10 MB for all the files. Files can be deleted 24/48 hours after upload. Thus we can post links to the files easily.

You covered the main problems Chris would have replied about. Nice thinking! Now David can upload all those BOB pron movies he has made. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa Do you Sonork?

I can keep tabs on what's uploaded via articles, but an image upload area may produce a ton of uploads that I wouldn't have time to track, and in the end CodeProject would be responsible for what was posted (so if someone uploaded illegal/offensive stuff then we get in trouble). The other issue is that deleting the images/files after 24hrs will result in lots of discussion board messages with broken links (which means more angry mail in my intray). Even so - I'll have a think about it becuase it *is* a cool idea. cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject) Re: File upload area Nish Nishant23-Nov-01 19:08 Nish Nishant 23-Nov-01 19:08  Perhaps you can give an upload username/passwd to some of the nicer members who you can trust .

I think it would make the article a lot easier to navigate. Just a thought ... -- Andrew Re: Book chapters Chris Maunder15-Nov-01 12:28 Chris Maunder 15-Nov-01 12:28  Good idea. I'm kinda treading water at the moment just trying to keep up with getting articles up there in the first place, so something like this may take a bit to get done. cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject) Re: Book chapters Paul Watson16-Nov-01 0:22 Paul Watson 16-Nov-01 0:22  Love the idea, but why don't the authors put in their own TOC? As you already know it is really simply to create a TOC in HTML and CP could have a few simple CSS styles and guidelines which people use to create their TOCs. Maybe, havent checked your HTML TOC Generator out yet, have as part of the Article submission wizard a button which runs the HTG against the article and generates it right there. Could even do it using a JavaScript function on the client side (good for Chris's servers). Cool idea Andrew regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa Do you Sonork?

But for other articles it's a good point . Paul Watson wrote: have as part of the Article submission wizard a button which runs the HTG against the article and generates it right there Nice idea - this is something I could work on if Chris wishes - the whole thing is a C# class so it would be easy to do, presuming .NET was installed on the server (Chris?) Thanks ! -- Andrew. Remembering current message in a discussion board Mike Morearty13-Nov-01 20:16 Mike Morearty 13-Nov-01 20:16  I love love LOVE the Javascript-based discussion-board software you're using throughout CodeProject. Makes it super-quick and easy to read through discussion threads. However, one of the problems with such solutions, of course, is that if I navigate away from the discussion page to any other page, and then navigate back to the discussion page (with the Back or Forward buttons), the page doesn't remember which message was open when I left. Plain HTML-based discussion boards don't have this problem (but then again, plain HTML-based discussion boards suck.) For IE 5 and above, there's a solution: the saveHistory behavior. This allows you CodeProject guys, with almost no effort on your part, to have the browser re-open whatever message was open when they left the page. For a sample of what I'm talking about, see http://www.morearty.com/history.htm -- this is a little sample I whipped up. You can move the blue box around the page; then navigate away from the page; then, when you navigate back to the page, the blue box will be where you last left it, instead of having been repositioned back to its starting position. You could probably pretty easily apply the same behavior to the HTML you use for your message threads.

Nice one! cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject) Ad problem? Roger Allen9-Nov-01 4:39 Roger Allen 9-Nov-01 4:39  I seem to have an intermittent problem when accessing CP threads. Every so often when I expand a message after about 2 secs, IE switches to a "This page cannot be found" or equivalent It seems that the page is trying to switch to a different ad which is not found. Basically this makes the board practiacally unreadable as you only have 2 seconds to read that post.. Is anybosy else affected by this or is it just me? Roger Allen the man Re: Ad problem? Nish Nishant9-Nov-01 4:45 Nish Nishant 9-Nov-01 4:45  Yup its happnd to me a few times I think its somethin to do with bandwidth When my connection gets slow, this happens quite often and when I hit the back-button it has gotta load the entire page Nish Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain www.busterboy.org Nish is a BIG fan of Goran Ivanisevic Re: Ad problem? Rassman9-Nov-01 4:56 Rassman 9-Nov-01 4:56  Stop your browser from stopping on errors (Tools-Options-Advanced). Disable script debugging and notification on errors (loads of Ads are error prone). Ok so you run the risk of missing 'Lucy Linda wants to see you at her very own site' adverts, but thats a price we must pay. We do it for the joy of seeing the users struggle.
