So when you first come you see the message, but when you hit update (I'm assuming on the forum's top bar) things are normal?
Can you try just hitting Ctrl+F5 when you see the message? It could be that Chrome is holding a cached copy of the page. It's more aggressive than other browsers with caching.

I found the issue and am just doing final testing on the fix.

This threw me off. I'm using Chrome* and am receiving an error that I need to use Internet Explorer 4+ or Firefox, and turn on Javascript (Javascript is not disabled in my Chrome). Is Chrome actually not supported, or is this a bug?
*UserAgent: "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.99 Safari/533.4"

There seems to be no issue in Chrome. I am personally using it for my net surfing and ofcourse I am using it for CodeProject too. Check your browser version and the JavaScript too.

So, in one of the answers in the Quick Answers forum (specifically the answer from MASTER at http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/92502/How-do-I-find-the-number-of-files-in-a-drive-in-Vi.aspx[^]) he was typing VB and the formatting treated the / as an escape character. As in:
Function CountFiles(Optional ByVal dri As String = "C:\", Optional ByVal subDir As Boolean = True) As Integer
Something in the formatting isn't right here. It appears to be treating the "\" as an escape character in this instance.
(and I know he didn't specify a language in that thread, but I did...my code is:
<pre lang="vbnet">Function CountFiles(Optional ByVal dri As String = "C:\", Optional ByVal subDir As Boolean = True) As Integer</pre>

Has the Daily News, or whatever the thing that was at the bottom of the homepage with links to other sites with tech-ish news, gone away? Has it moved?

Look under Features / News in the top green menu

Ah, much better format than the old Daily News.
Thanks Chris.

High-level members should have the ability to add questions and answers to the corresponding FAQ, For example, there could be FAQs for C#, C++, C++/MFC, ASP, etc. These FAQs would essentially be wikis, but you have to achieve a certain level before you can contribute.
FAQs would be a great benefit to the site and to people who come here for answers. By saying "See C# FAQ #38", you would be pointing to an answer that hopefully gets better and more complete as time goes by.
Each forum (and Q&A, of course) would have the notice "Because of your level, you can add to or edit the FAQ for this forum", along with some button, etc.
FAQs should be searchable (using the new Hans Dietrich Search Algorithm, and should be presented as a rolled-up list of questions, for faster scanning.

This was the original plan for the programming forums about 5 years. The Good answer / bad answer / mark as answer system was put in place so I could etract the top questions and answers. This turned out to be suboptimal and so I started work 2 years ago on the Live FAQ, which would be a question and answer system that would be wiki-like and would focus on matching good answers and good questions. We then renamed it to Quick Answers.
So: why not have a button within a Quick Answer (or Tip n Trick) entry which says "Add this to the FAQ". Only questions and accepted answers would be added to the FAQ, and we could then view the FAQ filtered by whatever tags you wanted, allowing us to easily produce a C++, an MFC, a VBSCript, or whatever FAQ.

What about regular programming forums?

Is it possible to do a "is contained in" search instead of the current "is an exact match" search?
Example: searching for "fxdetect" finds nothing. Searching for "xfxdetect" finds the article.
Or maybe make this a checkbox option next to the search box.

Not in SQL Server. However, we're going to be ditching SQL Server full text and move to something more sensible, after which the answer will be "yes"

That is the best news ever regarding CP. True search is badly needed.
suggestion: cover the site itself also, i.e. the FAQ, and all the pages explaining how things work and are supposed to be used around here.
|
|
|
|
|
Just a thought: Can we use Google search result for that specific term, and then parse them, and show them in proper CP like formatting ?

Hi,
I find it very problematic to move the mouse and click on each thread to view it.
I am a keyboard friendly user and would like to have something like 'Tab'-'Tab' to work for me, to navigate over the threads on page.
Does code-project already has something such for KB-users in place. If not, WTF!

There is a somewhat cryptic sentence at the bottom of pages with forum, regarding CTRL/ARROW combinations. They work great. Try CTRL/ARROW_DOWN.

OK, I'll bite.
How would you suggest we make it non-cryptic?

Thank you for biting.
The first time I ever noticed the CTRL/ARROW sentence, was under an article with no messages attached yet. That made it really cryptic, as there were no messages, and one can hardly see a forum is possible there at all (the "New Message" widget is too subtle a hint).
My suggestions therefore are:
1. add a sentence on top of the article page, stating a forum exists or could be started at the bottom.
2. for articles (and forums), when no messages are present yet, add a sentence at the bottom stating a forum is possible, all it takes is clicking "New Message" (instead of the current CTRL/ARROW sentence)
3. for articles and forums, and only when there are messages (plural!), show the CTRL/ARROW sentence.

I tried to wrap the code in this question[^] within <pre></pre> tags but it just shows the tags instead of interpreting them.
It's time for a new signature.

Looks like Sandeep fixed it
My guess is that the checkbox for 'ignore html in text' was checked.
