GeneralRe: Download linkmemberPrikarna1 May '12 - 4:35 
Oh, I am really sorry, this is my mistake, it seems now work as I expected (my second articles: Simple URB (USB Request Block) Monitor). The problem is I couldn't create a download link for the zip file I uploaded (upload file is just fine). But now it work.
I'll go check and fix it to the other one.
Thank you.
SuggestionModest proposal: hide posts (and subsequent comments) removed from Lounge ?memberBillWoodruff30 Apr '12 - 12:54 
My "drag scrollbar" finger, and my press "down arrow" finger, are getting cramps from scrolling past all the recent comments deleted from one recent Lounge poster, and their copious reply-comments, and then having to click to get to the next Lounge page only to find more scrolling required.
 
Could it be possible to have a little "graphic hickey" appear on the "page with folded top-left corner icon of whatever flavor" of a thread-start Lounge post that would collapse the whole damn thing and all subsequent discussion ?
 
Or an option to hide "removed threads and all comments" on a UI wide basis ?
 
By the way, I find myself puzzled by the variety of the thread and comments "page with top-left corner folded" icons: some have a kind of "document like" icon, some have an icon with a "smiley" overlayed, but I can see no pattern in how these icons are related to either votes on the thread-start or comments, or any internal comment. Clicking on any of them does nothing special: normally if I see a "variant icon" I expect a click to to trigger something.
 
I am sure Luc Patyn will respond to this shortly kindly explaining to me how I have, again, missed understanding a CP basic feature; so, thanks in advance Luc ! Smile | :)
 
best, Bill
"Humans are amphibians ... half spirit and half animal ... as spirits they belong to the eternal world, but as animals they inhabit time. This means that while their spirit can be directed to an eternal object, their bodies, passions, and imaginations are in continual change, for to be in time, means to change. Their nearest approach to constancy, therefore, is undulation: the repeated return to a level from which they repeatedly fall back, a series of troughs and peaks.” C.S. Lewis

Those icons relate to the message type selected when you create a message, so the smiley, for instance, is the joke icon. You can select these types from the list of radio buttons above the title when you create or edit the message.

I haven't seen anything like this, but I think it would be useful.
 
Pete O'Hanlon already covered the icons (In case you missed that message, like some of my friends would D'Oh! | :doh: )

Hi Bill, I'm afraid I can't improve on Pete's answer, and sorry for the delay, as I was out for the day; first of May is a one-day tournament I don't wanna miss. Anyway, happy scrolling.
 
Smile | :)
 
PS: I have chosen the "Answer" icon here, and FYI
1. I don't always agree with the default message type CP offers
2. the message type has impact on the rep points one gets
3. the message type can be changed afterwards, however the rep stuff seems to ignore that.

So essentially you're after a "collapse thread" (or just "hide thread") button?
 
(and the meanings of the message type icons are shown at the bottom of the forums)
cheers,

SuggestionImproving the artcles search enginememberMazen el Senih30 Apr '12 - 3:31 
Hi, It would be a lot better if the search engine provided with the Google mechanism for multiple words.
There is always hope ..!

As far as I can tell, it does have this support. For instance, this[^] is what I get when searching for WPF datagrid.

AnswerRe: Improving the artcles search enginememberMazen el Senih30 Apr '12 - 4:09 
Well ,In fact it would be better if it contains key words like:
InTitle:"Understanding SynchronizationContext: Part II"
 

to find this article:
Understanding SynchronizationContext: Part II[^]
 
and query for [Understanding SynchronizationContext: Part II] resulted this :
this[^]
 
regards
There is always hope ..!

GeneralRe: Improving the artcles search engineprotectorPete O'Hanlon30 Apr '12 - 4:41 
I just typed in "Understanding SynchronizationContext: Part II" (including the quotes), and got the article back that I would expect. What am I missing?
