When you will revisit this, it may help to look at sites that use such things
I have seen this on PhpBB and MyBB.

I've seen those forums many times.
The issue with sorting by date is that there's a risk that a single thread can take over a forum. People see a thread, add a comment, and it pops to the top. Someone then sees the thread first and comments on it and keeps it at the top. As the most visible thread it's also the one most likely to get a comment, and hence most likely to stay at the top. Eventually you have a 20 page thread that effectively blocks the rest of the forum.

It is why theses forums show only 1 line per thread and when you click on a thread, it switch to another page where the full thread is displayed in 1 page.
Otherwise, I agree with you, it would be a problem with actual presentation.

I have just added a new blog post to my professional profile but it isn't showing. It appears to have been added as it shows up in my activity.
My profile page is here here[^] and the post was entitled "Agile Purism"

I have noticed, since the move, that I'll see that I have replies to posts but when I click on the red number, nothing happens or I'll get to the list of replies, click on one and it goes nowhere.
I have also noticed (it just happened) that I wrote a response, clicked on Post Message and it did not appear. (Still not there after about 5 minutes).

The moderation queue is acting up again.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

This is probably the spam filter still adjusting. I do apologise: we've retrained it, it has lots of data to go in, it seemed to be working fine but it's gone off target again.
I've asked Matthew to dig in and see what's happening.

I responded to the Code Project question "Return Value From Excel Macro to VB.net Application" yesterday but the response was deleted as spam. Can you please either let me know what was wrong with it or put it back up? It was just additional technical info about an old, but still relevant, question.
I hope you still have the thread but, if you need me to try to reproduce the wording, please let me know.
I tried to send you this question a few minutes ago but, because of a technical problem with my computer, I don't think you got it. However, if you did and this is a duplicate, I'm sorry.
Thank you.

The answer is at Return Value From Excel Macro to VB.net Application.[^]
It reads:
Quote: I've seen this fail when the macro is in ThisWorkbook. Also, I read a post on another forum from someone who had the same problem. The macro ran OK but returned Nothing, although it should have returned a Boolean. The fix (provided by the other guy, whose name I forget) was to put the macro in a module.
I'm assuming it was closed due to it being not an answer and more of a comment.
cheers

Maybe, but trying to follow the instructions in the original answer cost me an hour, because they don't work in the case I described.
However, it doesn't really matter to me anymore. I thought (and think) that my comment might save someone else the time and frustration I went through, but if you're happy with the existing answer, then so am I.

Tried to Rollback with no success. This has been discussed too many times. It would be nice to have reopen button available to 'some' of the Members.

I am new member number 11754090 --- User Name 11719662 --- Email {removed /ja}. I joined "CodeProject" yesterday (June 9, 2015) not knowing what your organization was all about. I have a Parcing problem with some PDF data and thought you folks might be able to help me solve my problem.
I think I should not continue to be a member of CodeProject I am 88 years old and not a person who can be a good member of your group. I am just too old for you. Please remove me from
CodeProject membership.
Good luck In your work. Sounds interesting.
Sorry - I couldn't see any other way to cancel my membership.
