you're denying me the benefit of your unfathomable avuncularity?

I am only avuncular when the plane ticket is provided.

|

Hmm[^], I can get a couple of TV's at that price.
PS: it was avuncular, not avioncular.

Ken and our team have had an email chat about this so I thought I'd post Dave's explanation so others could see:
The ability to limit showing geographically is by design and is stipulated by the employer at the time of posting. The feature was actually added after launch at the request of the employers.
The problem was that employers were being literally inundated with responses from developers who wanted employment visa sponsorship and it was badly degrading the signal to noise ratio for the employers.
We fully (truly) understand your point but in the end this is what the employers wanted.

Perhaps you can temporarily modify your profile so that it shows you from a different location, then check out the job listings and they will hopefully appear with your updated location. When you're done searching, you can go back to your profile to reflect your true location. Just a suggestion... not sure if you can change your location in your profile or if it is determined by IP address or something.

I was trying to search a question using the search box below the CodeProject banner in Q&A forum.
The result list was huge and by default sorted according to vote (high votes first).
I wanted the recent posts first so clicked the 'New' tab. But the filter was gone. I also tried playing with the URL (adding tab=new query-string to the searched url) but without any success.
Is the option not at all available or I missed something?

No that option isn't available yet on the QA list page. Though you can do this at the general search page here[^].

Thanks a lot!

The new search system now includes this functionality.

Thanks a lot!

When you go to the list of questions, the "Last Activity" line is being appended to the line the shows who posted the question. Shouldn't it be on its own line?

It's been there for (at least) a couple of days now. I guess it's intentional and has been introduced to reduce the page scroll length.

Which makes no sense since all of the questions can't fit on a single page anyway...

It's been done on purpose, but quite frankly I think I'm just going to toss it all and just post the date the question was asked. Alternatively I could just post the time that something - anything - happened to a question. This would allow "bumping" which I'm not a fan of, but I know many are.
Thoughts?

I think that bumping would be a very bad idea. It's bad enough people reposting to keep questions at the top, but bumping would lead to absoluate chaos.

We could change two of the tabs in list to:
[Latest] [Last activity]
(insted of Latest New)
I'd probably make Last Activity the defaulton the premise that long time readers, if they are sick of seeing churn, will just click "Latest" and from then on always simply see the Latest posted.
I'd then adjust what was shown in the date summary.
Thoughts?

That could work, or you could have an option to sort by Latest or Last Activity. I think I'd rather see this just so as not to add more and more tabs to the interface.
|
|
|
|

The "custom" tab has that.
We could, I guess, simply remove all tabs...

Limit it so that a question can only get a single bump in an N hour period, and M total bumps?

I cant seem to find my watched articles. the watched items page does not show anything and the bookmarks page says i dont have any bookmarks.
Update: I did some jQuery that hides all the articles i never visited. then i bookmarked all the ones I did visit. I think I pretty much got back what I had. I'm still missing some that i cant find though.

Maybe Diaboli In Machina is mounting a sneak attack on you? Why do you need CP to watch any articles? Don't you omnisciently watch them all?

I was posting a reply, and noticed that the advert on the top right of the page hadn't loaded. When I opened the image in a new window, I got a 404.
The image was located here, and the advert pointed here
