Whenver I refresh the lounge I see the time since a specific post was posted. Kinda cool. I quickly glanced at the source and didn't see any JS code for it so I wondered if it was done server-side and if it was, could it be moved to client-side? I would imagine it could save some processing on the server. (Especially, with as much as I hit refresh).
Of course if it is done on the client, I just didn't see it (not ilke I looked to hard).

It would be nice to have the bookmarked count displayed (perhaps near the viewed count) for articles that have been bookmarked by at least 1 user.
Would also be nice to have a section specific (i.e. MFC/C++, C#, ASP.NET, .NET and VB.NET) "most bookmarked" articles table displayed at the home page.
Thanks!

It would be great if the alt text of Question Time links displayed the author's name. Thanks!

I think that having a category for SharePoint would be cool. Right now people post SharePoint articles in some random category like C# or .NET, but it would be nice to have a central list of SharePoint articles.

I think it'd be best if an article can be included in multiple categories, or perhaps for authors to put 'tags' into their articles, like 'SharePoint', 'C#', 'ASP.Net'.
Therefore we can expand this categories easily.
Not sure whether this has been done or not.

It would be nice to be emailed when a particular article changes. If we see something that looks really cool, then we could put a watch on the article.

There are times when people may want to break an article into shorter parts rather than one totally huge file, almost like chapters in a book. Because such articles will be related, they would often link to one another. Such articles may be posted at the same time.
My suggestion is to support a permalink feature so that when the article gets edited and moved, it does not break links that might be in other pages. This could also be used in the outside world so that permalinks could be used rather than pointing directly to the article.

How about posting the number of results returned from a search, so you know how many pages you might be looking at?

By default, the News/Info tab is selected instead of the first. Is there a reason for that? Also, instead of "latest threads" below it, could you change it to "latest whatever" based on the icon, please. I know the icon descriptions are at the bottom, but it would be easier to see the text description with the summary.

Helps reduce reposting the same news item/link I guess.

Then maybe the summary needs to contain only links that don't appear on that page?

Some people use 10 posts/page (I used to in India), others use 25 or 50. So it's hard to decide what a page is (though it can be shown on a per-user basis - too much extra load though). I like it better this way.

Hope this is isn't redundant. When I click on the Results link to the VB .NET article competition for June the survey is displayed instead of the results. Do I now have to participate in the survey before I can see the results? Since I have an article in the competition, I prefer not to vote.
Thanks ... George

Since the update of the design, the "updated" date isn't shown anymore on article pages (The "posted" date ist still there.)

I suppose there's a lot of considerations to be made for such a feature. After all, we really don't need 3431 different snippets on how ::CreateFile() works.
How about a Wiki, with predefined sections and subsections? I for one would love that.

How about a sticky thread in the Lounge about the site changes. It might stop the tens of threads that are being started on the subject,
