Bugs and Suggestions

The notifications currently show the date the events occurred. However, I would think it would be much more useful to display the amount of time that has passed since the event occurred (e.g., "18 seconds" or "50 minutes"). Otherwise, it can be hard to tell based on subject lines (yes, I know I can click items to expand them and see the message, but that takes more time) if I've seen the message yet.

Looks like the hover element at the top of each page does show the delta time, but the notifications page shows the date. We're nerds... we don't even know what to do with dates. Smile | :)

Ha. New rule: when referring to somebody, you have to call them an "unfortuate acronym". Example:

...into cash!

It is like a rewards card. Every 10,000 CP points equals X Canadian dollars. Granted CG and a few others are probably millionaires by now, but still.

I mean - Canada[^] is the richest country now right?

I am utterly delighted to see that it bites you too! And I thought OG and I were the only victims.
Pasting a link sometimes drops the last character of the URL.

Now you'll have to fix it! Poke tongue | ;-P

It seems like your full blog entry is not inside the <description> which means our aggregator thinks the post has too few words. Could you please ensure you have the full text option selected in your admin panel as well? (shown here: Code Project Technical Blog FAQ[^])

When starting a new message in the SB/S page, the suggestion icon is the default icon chosen. After realizing my second previous message was a question, I clicked edit to change it and the general icon appeared as default. That should not be. The same icon should remain until modified by the poster.

Just looked at a QA question to be presented with:

Closed because The post is not clear, or is incomplete and has not been phrased in a way that allows it to be fully understood.. Reported by Chris Maunder, Wes Aday on Wednesday, July 18, 2012 1:24 PM.

The upper case "T" should be lower case.

But I wouldn't hurry with this one unless we have a large OCD contingent! Laugh | :laugh:
