Things i'd like, but haven't gotten around to adding yet:
Add new forum posts to forum after replying.
The downside of using behind-the-scenes posting is that you miss out on seeing all the other replies and new threads posted whilst you were pondering your own words. Would be nice to get these without having to reload the whole page...Better preference / signature management
Currently a total hack, with each instance of CodeProject having its own set of preferences and sigs loaded.Additional editing options, convenience functions...
Including things like David Stone's CPhog+Midas project, a Markdown option, templates, etc...Automatic timestamp for modified posts- Page-level indication of pending and failed posts
Shortcut keys on the post/modify/reply form
Current plan:
Ctrl+Shift+C Wrap selection in Ctrl+Shift+< Insert a <Ctrl+Shift+> Insert a >Ctrl+Shift+& Insert a &Ctrl+Shift+L Create a linkCtrl+Shift+^ Create a link w/ clickety tail ([^])Ctrl+Shift++ SuperscriptCtrl+Shift+- SubscriptCtrl+Q Quote selected text (or format selected text as a quotation, if selection is in the editor)
Ctrl+E Insert emoticon
Ctrl+B BoldCtrl+I ItalicCtrl+U UnderlineCtrl+S StrikethroughCtrl+L Create a link[^]Ctrl+Enter Submit your postEsc Closes the post editor or Closes the preview, if previewing
Ctrl+Shift+P Preview your postCtrl+Shift+S Submit your post
Make linkification work with https:// addressesKeyboard navigation in forum
Current plan:
Ctrl+Right Arrow Moves to the next postCtrl+Left Arrow Moves to the previous postCtrl+Up Arrow Moves to the previous thread headerCtrl+Down Arrow Moves to the next thread headerAlt+R Reply to the current post
Alt+M Modify the current postAlt+N Create a new threadCtrl+Q Reply to the current post, quoting the entire post
- Escape HTML in selection function
- Thread-by-thread refresh
Feel free to reply with your own suggestions...

I don't know if this falls under 3) or not:
How about a checkbox (or something else, small enough not to annoy those who don't want this) which controls the visibility of a formatting toolbar like the one in the "original" reply form? With formatting toolbar I mean the "small, big, pre, code, etc" toolbar.

The smiley dropdown does not have the hidden icon, i.e the beer mug, dancing bob, etc. I wish, they were there too.

They are hidden for a purpose. Making them public will make them...disappear...

huh?
I think the hidden icons were available in Micheal Dunn's CP toolbar, nothing secret there.

hello,
For some reason the Signature dont work for me, I have to enter the sig every time i use CPHog to reply a post.
Since u said its a hack, i thought i could embed my sigs in the scritps itself so that i can ensure 100% that my sigs will be always available.
But i wanted to know the format of the sigs stored in var aSigSet = new Array();
thanks.

They are just strings. So,
aSigSet = ["This is <b>my</b> sig."];
currentSig=0;
Would work to force a single signature. Before you do that, try one thing please: make sure signature "-" is selected and the Random checkbox is unchecked. Make sure CP is open in only one window or tab. Enter a signature. Reload CP. See if it sticks.

Each message has its own ID in the page, right? Would it be possible to go through all the messages in the downloaded page after doing the post, and add all the new ones dynamically? Complex, I know, but cool 
I like the shortcut keys, although I wouldn't use keyboard navigation.
One thing that really annoys me about the forums is the way the scrolling is done when you select a post. As I'm getting further down the page, I like scrolling down so the message I'm reading is somewhere around the middle of the screen. However, as soon as I select the next message, the pages jumps back up, so that the message is now at the bottom of the screen, which means I have to scroll down to be able to select the next message. It would be nice if the forums only scrolled if the message didn't fit on the screen.

How do you accomplish this?
I have some ideas...

Add the ability to view or go to the root of a message and the parent as well. Some threads are huge and I need to check what the parent or original message is without going back. That might be more of a CM/CP change.

How about just keeping threads whole (not allowing partial threads on a page)?

How would that work if you have too darn many like we normally do in the soapbox?

Well, there's the easy way, which is simply to load the entire thread. Practical and technical limitations mean this only works for threads less than 50 posts in length.
Then there's the hard way, which loads posts in the background, and adds them to the page as you ask for them. This will take a bit more time to get right...

How about some button to convert <, > and & to HTML entities in selected text. Would make posting C++ code easier...

I just noticed that if rating a post fails, you can't attempt to re-rate the post as the text becomes a red error text instead of the voting links. Any chance you could keep the voting links there even if it fails?

Hey, what about a "Cancel" button, when we will reply one post then I wish not more. Actually has the "Post Message" and "Preview"
BTW, Nice job!

So anyway, i'm trying this unofficial little contest to get some creative spirits active. The idea is, ![Green Alien | [Alien]](/script/Forums/Images/alien.gif) spends a lot of time on the road (what with visiting the desks of 1 Million+ CPians and all), and thus must get to visit a lot of interesting sites. Being the sort of curious alien tourist that he is, he's bound to stick around some of them long enough to get photographed - so let's see 'em!
Rules are:
- Photos must be your own work.
- Photos must be tasteful.
- Photos must be print quality - if they aren't large enough to get a good print off of, you're just another nut with a bad camera.
- Photos must show a recognizable Bob in an interesting location - no matter how many StarDock applets you've downloaded, your desktop is *not* an interesting location.
Current entries are:
Skiiing Bob - Colin Davies
Bob and Monkey - Nick Seng
Bob and Elk - Chris Losinger
Bob and cast of ER - Mike Mullikin
Bob on a Boat - Chris Losinger
Bob on Cape Lookout - Chris Losinger
Bob in Cape Town - Paul Watson (more of a "started the whole idea" image than a entry, but 's cool... )
Bob Amongst the Angels - K(arl)
Cattle Bob - Michael A. Barnhart
Bob in Atlanta - PJ Arends
Bob in Berlin - Arnd H.
Bob at the Valley of the Kings - Nick Rowan
Bob Sandboarding - Nick Rowan
Bob in London at Buckingham Palace - Steve Mayfield
Bob in Paris climbing the Eiffel Tower - Steve Mayfield
Bob in Amsterdam at the Rembrandt museum - Steve Mayfield
Bob in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia with one of his favorite non alcoholic drinks - Steve Mayfield
Bob and his Spaceship...err, in Montreal at the Olympic stadium - Steve Mayfield
Bob Golfing - David Wulff
Best shot wins An Improbable Prize (!!!!). Judges consist of: Me. An advisory panel to the judges consists of: Everyone who votes on posted images/links to images/colorful descriptions of images that can presumably be found somewhere/etc. All entries must be postmarked no earlier than 1/1/2001All entrants must be certifiably human. Bob, Bob's family, Bob's handlers, mutilated cattle, and the strange light in the sky are barred from entry. This contest claims no affiliation with The Code Project, The Code Project Staff, Shadowy Backers of The Code Project, or the word "contest". All names, dates, and faces Copyright by their respective owners. All facts are fiction, all lemons sublime.
You're one microscopic cog
in his catastrophic plan...

Ok here's the pic of Bob sandboarding[^] down the minedumps.
And here's the other one of him at the Valley of the Kings [^] (Not my photo though...)
The man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone he can blame it on.
If you tell a man there are 300 billion stars in the universe, he'll believe you. But if you tell him a bench has just been painted, he'll have to touch it to be sure.

's cool. Though Losinger brought it up first in the SB AFAIR. I just responded that I had done something similar for the postcard thing.
Good idea Shog. So A3 prints and above only ok?

I'm sorry to push you in the back, (thanks to your courtesy to remind us this non-contest exists), but, I would like to know, finally, who is the winner? Did Mr. Losinger get his prize?
