This[^] CP ad has a bad/incorrect aspect ratio, causing it to be illegible (stretched too tall). See this[^] screenshot.

I posted an article about the registry and I put it under Windows 2000/XP and unselected all programming languages. But when reading the article, the header says that it's category is C++. Can this be fixed?
My article is: http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/CommonRegSettings.asp
Thanks!

The short answer is: not yet.
The long answer is: The current taxonomy is antiquated and is being overhauled. Unfortunately we've got 15,000 articles so the overhaul is causing us some serious heartburn and, of course, some delays.
The executive brief: We're ditching the current categories and will make it more sane.

I've noticed at another forum site that their notification software sends out only one notification for a single thread until you visit the thread again.
The notification email contains this at the bottom:
"There may be other replies also, but you will not receive any more notifications until you visit the forum again."
I think this is a really good idea for three reasons:
1) It will cut down on cp's bandwidth
2) When I get a notification I go and read the whole thread anyway so there's no point in notifying me again if I've just visited. Sometimes I'll post something brilliant or stupid or controversial, take off for the day, come back and there are like 32 emails sitting in my inbox notifying me of every reply needlessly.
3) It might take a load off the C.P. email server and whatever does the notification processing.

I don't know how but two people seemed to think this means you would get no notifications, again, this just means you would get 1 notification even if there were 100 replies, UNTIL YOU READ ANY OF THE REPLIES IN THE THREAD, then it resets and you will get another notification if someone posts something else.
The whole idea is to get only 1 notification when you need it instead of endless notifications whether you need them or not.

I don't really like the sound of that. I like to receive confirmation of the replies i get.

Um..what part of what I wrote led you to believe you would not get email confirmations? I must have typed something wrong because that is not at all what I'm talking about.

Why not just uncheck "Notify me by e-mail if someone answers this message". I guess it helps to get a notification rather than coming back to check if someone has answered to the reply/question I have posted, especially if its going to be in the programming forums.

|
|
|
Um..what? I've re-read what I posted and I can't understand where you're coming from, this has to do with how notifications are sent, not whether you get one or not.

Reading your other responses, I think I get what you want. I just got it confused with something else.

WOuld this notification message be sent out every night, or how long does it wait until it sends you the batch notification? Say you post a message and 3 people respond to it with the hour. The system send you a notification that night? What if you don't visit the message? What happens the next night when 0 people respond? Or 3 more people respond?
I'm just trying to nail down the logic, that's all.

It sends you a notification immediately when someone replies. Then no more notifications no matter how many reply until you have visited that thread. After which it resets and does the same thing over again.
An improvement might be to make a digest of all the replies to date that are unread in that single notification.

I personally prefer CPs system over the other forums, I like having notifications sent regardless of whether I visit the forum or not because sometimes it's just nice to know that someone has replied to the message, you can get the jist of it without having to visit CP.
Which probably saves more bandwidth because if the email doesn't require a reply and I don't want to reply then I don't have to visit and download all the ad pictures etc, plus the Gmail interface is faster (even over broadband) than CP's pages.
I also tend to forget to visit all the threads I'm interested in or have replied to. I'm a member of some Land Rover forums and they do what you're suggesting and I keep wishing that they were as good as CP's forums

Those are good points, maybe a digest of all the replies in one message might be more appropriate.

I could go for that.
Actually, an RSS feed of "replies to your posts" would be even more convenient (though potentially much more bandwidth-intensive).

To be honest that's what Gmail does since most times they have the same subject line it groups all the replies together in a long list and only shows one message in the inbox (with the number of messages in the conversation in brackets).

I like the current system better. And because the notification includes a preview of the message, I can actually decide if I need to open CP to reply to that message or if I can just delete it.
And for big threads where I've posted multiple times, I wouldn't want to search the entire thread to see where else someone has replied to me.
If at all your suggestion is implemented, I do hope it's made optional so people can decide to use the current mechanism if they want to.

Yeah I guess it depends on what you prefer, but I find it a much cleaner and saner way to handle notifications instead of bombarding me with emails that I don't need. I always go online to read the messages, I never read the email because they are often cut off or out of context in my brain anyway so I see the content in the email and the multiple emails to be entirely useless.

It would be nice if it was easier to insert code snippets in posts without using the “Ignore HTML tags in this message (good for code snippets)” option. When placing code in <pre> or <code> tags there are still problems with angle brackets and their contents, blank lines and smiley faces. Perhaps some script could be made which escapes the contents and does whatever else is needed in these tags.
