I'm sorry I never replied to this, but I just wanted to say this is the best-worded suggestion I've read in a long, long time.
In any case, the suggestion is in our system and we're now planning Job Board 2.0: Lazy-ass.NET version.
'cause it just makes sense...cheers,

I think it would be cool if when voting we could have the option to be anonymous or not. If we choose not to be anonymous a new symbol appears that users can hover the pointer over and see the list of voters who chose to not be anonymous.
Doing this we can share our vote if we choose and thereby build stronger relationships with peers or let them know we didn't agree or whatever. Yet we still preserve that innate ability to vote and remain private. The default of course for this is to be "anonymous" and the voter simply clicks the "public" option or whatever and that's how it goes.
I think it'd be nifty.

I disagree.
Allowing anonymous voting would promote voting abuse - again.

I don't think he's suggesting anonymous voting, I think he's suggesting the opposite: explicitely allowing members to see what your vote was.
Currently only articles force you to give up any voting info. We could make it so that messages, catalog items, anything votable would have a link that showed who voted what for those who choose to make public their votes.

Exactly. I just gave someone a 5 and rarely do I 5. I want them to know it was me who gave them a 5. When I give someone a 1 which rarely do I do. I want them to know it was me. But if it's some stupid troll that we are voting to block the post then *NO* they don't need to know who I am.
YES FOR LOUNGE VOTING ONLY!

I saw an ad in the header a couple of days ago that I'd like to follow up on today - but today is Ironspeed and Quest day. Is there anyway a repositor of all the switchable ads could be added - or is it there and I am too dumb to find it?

Clicking a link on my "Latest Messages" page, I got the wrong page of the right forum, i.e. due to one or more new messages added in that forum, my message just moved to the next page. Clicking NEXT showed the right page with the message already open though.
Seems like a bug, since the message links contain a forum ID and a message ID.

Weird. Is it repeatable?
Our system knows where messages are and deliberately tries to display the message in the forum with buffer messages above and below (if possible).

I've had this happen too.
I think that it happens when a new post arrives, just as the message is about to display. The page sort of does a double refresh and your message slides off into the next page. It all happens too quickly to be sure though, it just looks like that is what is happening.

I am not sure, I did not try a second time.
Next time it happens, I'll give it a better look. If it requires me going to call a message that happens to be at the bottom of a page AND someone adding a message to that forum then chances are slim for it to occur.

I had the same issue yesterday. I just pressed Next, and the message I should have seen was the first one on the next page. I assumed it was some sort of caching issue, and I just caught the system as a message was added earlier.
You'll now want me to remember which one it was... erm...

I've seen this too. I think it is a sheer timing coincidence. It is not always repeatable, even if clicked the same link twice. I never tried it trying to click the same link back to back, but remember clicking the same link another time.

Hi Chris,
It has happened again. I'm at my first "Latest Messages" page, and click to reach one of my messages,
this opens a page in the correct forum, but the message I want is the very first on the NEXT page.
I close the tab, try again, same thing; over and over.
I have a screen shot of the page I got; if you want it ask for +CodeProject_C_Discussion_Boards_Mozilla_Firefox_20090328_195505.jpg
As it is repeatable, I now think it most likely is an of-by-1 bug.
[ADDED]
I then added one message to the first page, and tried again.
The right page came up and a lot had moved, my message now shows as number 7, the thread it belongs to is not even the first thread, there are two and a half threads above it.
The screenshot is available as +CodeProject_C_Discussion_Boards_Mozilla_Firefox_20090328_200203.jpg
I then removed the one message I added to the first page.
Things went back to what they were: link brings the wrong page, message wanted is the first on the next page.
I would think that should be sufficient to eradicate the beast

The "naming conflict"[^] for numeric IDs looks a bit silly, doesn't it?
I suggest "numeric IDs don't deserve a friendly name".
And I still haven't figured out why they exist in the first place.

Because after a certain point it becomes difficult to find a unique name.

with 26 or so letters I can make as many names as you can with 10 digits; and they could be shorter on average. They might look stranger, that can be solved by including a sufficient number of vowels.
FWIW: when a poster has been too lazy to come up with a name, I may well be inclined to skip his message.

Unless Chris ever gets an adserve that monitors user intelligence and changes what it charges based what it measures that's an untterly irrelevant observation.

I see.
There are ways to make that easier.
e.g. Google's gmail asks for first name, last name and desired mail address;
clicking the "check availability" button either confirms, or suggests available alternatives such as the variations your example includes. No need to try them one by one.

with 6+ million users, there is no way you going to get unique alias. I say give every one GUID alias

In real life we have a first name and last name, as well as a social security number. Should we do without our names and use the number everywhere?
Websites have a URL and an IP address, should we work without URLs?
When programming, our variables have names, I hope you use meaningful names, and not var5939128, var5939129, var5939130?
If I were called John Smith just like a thousand other members, I would prefer to call myself
John Smith 492 over Member 5939129.
