I think you got the wrong menu. We need the one to other forums! (Like the menu in the Lounge)
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Wrong... you don't need anything. You just want it, but it is/was not needed at all.
I actually liked more the previous version without it. You could click on "community" and go back to the lounge, "Ask a question" and go to the active QA List and for the rest just 1 sec more opening the dropdown menus on the top.
Now the B&S Forum looks like too small and the layout get messed up in long threads

Hi mates,
dind't quite know where to ask, but since several days i don't get the notifications left of my username. Is this a bug or did i somehow change that in my profile settings?
I liked that i could see who answered to one of my messages.
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

When you are writing it, if you try to set up a title such as:
List<T> - What's that all about?
As soon as you exit the "title text" area, the HTML tags are swallowed, and the title appears to be:
List - What's that all about?
So, you sigh, go back to it and change the text to:
List<T> - What's that all about?
And now the title looks right on the authoring page.
List<T> - What's that all about?
But then you go to the preview page, and the title shows the HTML encode characters:
List<T> - What's that all about?
It's not a big problem, but it could confuse a noob...particularly since most of them don't seem to find the "Preview" button anyway...

I remember the same in QA (I can't find the report...) when HTLM like tags are only seen when you are inside the question, but in the list it vanished...
(Does it mean you back to serious work?)
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

A debugging session took me into the MS reference sources, and showed me something I should have known, but didn't - so I started a quick article on why it matters. (The title has changed already, and the article itself is in "pause" mode waiting a couple of days for me to review it before I hit the "publish" button)

I really like the way the forums are (under normal layout settings) however when there is a post I clearly have no interest in (such as the CCC or the MQOTD or ...) I skip these posts.
But the reply's are still there, taking up space.
Would it be possible to have a sort off collapse button (next to the pin button or so) that collapses the thread?
I know there is the 'Thread view' layout but I don't really like that one 
Added bonus would be if a posts gets collapsed other posts (or reply's) get added to the bottom of the page to reach the 'per page' count again. (that might not be possible but ...)
Nothing major, a nice to have but I can live without it

A feature that I like in Facebook is the ability to stop seeing top level messages from certain people. If we could "block" certain posters, this would be handy.

Would be handy as well.
But just because I don't want to see the ccc en such doesn't mean I don't want to see other posts by that member.
Hence the 'as well' part .

Hi Tom, I find this a bit confusing: yes, the replies are there in the sense that your browser has loaded them (I assume they are not "lazy-loaded"), but if you are using the Thread-View, you don't have to see them.

From what I understood from his post (and if I may) - I think he means a "Collapse" button on a parent message which will collapse all its children while using the Normal layout. So even if the children are already rendered, they will simply be collapsed.
If you prefer to see the messages along with their replies (as in the Normal layout - which I believe most of us do), the problem with the Thread view is that you still have to navigate to a separate page in order to see the children messages.
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

While I would give the premise "100% of 'us' believe the way we prefer things defines 'normal'," 100 to 1 odds as reality, I wonder about what the percentage of Lounge-lizards using thread-view might be.
In "Normal" view what I observe is the thread-start visible, and replies showing title-only ... originally.
cheers, Bill

Exactly, and the OP's suggestion is to be able to collapse those "title-only" replies.
This would be quite handy IMHO if one does not intend to read the replies at all given the parent thread (and of course the number of replies (as they still take up some space even in the "title-only" view) for a decently popular thread).
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

You'r probably not the only one, I'v been told before that I'm not always clear in my explanations
It's basically as Agent_007 said.
I prefer (by far) to use the 'normal' layout setting.
But under that setting the reply's are always visible and taking up space, I don't mind this as a default but would like to have the option to collapse (or hide) those reply's for the posts I choose.
Anyway Agant_007 probably said it better so'll refer to his reply

So I'm probably not doing something correctly, but I'm a noob here. Verified my account, searched, posted a Q, searched some more... Every question I try to open from my search results only opens a page listing the latest Q's (in C#) under 'how to answer a question.'
What am I missing. Can't be firefox, can't find a 'contact us' anywhere. This seems to be the only place I can ask. Why won't search results open, same or different tab? Dumbfounded.
Thank you,
Mac

.... top of this forum(Like in lounge). Include this page[^] in that thread. I remember there's a thread in past.
Too many 'Delete my post' threads here recently.

You mean you want an FAQ sticky thread? I'd prefer not. I'll add an FAQ entry to the forum abstract instead.
