This is already possible with articles. At the bottom of each article is a line of icons for the various social networking type sites. It then becomes "viewer responsibility" to promote the article on one of those sites.
I think something similar could be applied to forum posts as well.

I can do this but worry about the render time if we have these links on each message

I agree regarding render time concerns and was only pointing out that it is possible, not saying you should.  Personally, I think the fact that the message includes the "permalink" link is good enough and if someone wants to push the thread to one of the social aggregator sites, they have to do it manually.

Hi ya
I have just created an article, and now when going to the section "My Articles" of my profile, then it is no where to be seen.
Also when using the direct link to the article, and then clicks on the nearest category, then on the category page it displays a red box that says wrong filter (Even though I'm not using a filter):
"The article you came from is not displayed in this section's Table of Contents. You need to expand your filter attributes in order to have the article you just saw be displayed in the table of Contents."
Also the URL anchor to the nearest category in article is wrong:
List Controls
It should be:
List Controls
Best regards
-Rolf

Hint: For improved responsiveness use Internet Explorer 4 or above or a Gecko-based browser (FireFox, Safari etc) or Opera 9 or above. Ensure Javascript is enabled and choose 'Normal' from the Layout dropdown and hit 'Set Options'.
No dynamic layout. Ouch.
[Edit: nevermind. Switching to Thread view and then back to Normal seems to have fixed it. Weird.]

I posted this[^] almost a month ago but I think it got lost in the shuffle.
It seems that more and more people are cross-posting, double-posting, or posting to the wrong forum. The message thread here[^] brings up a good point about off-topic posts (posts that don't belong in that forum), and the one here[^] supports part of this request.
It would be great if certain members (perhaps CP MVPs), had the ability to move posts from one forum to another or otherwise perform some basic maintenance/moderation on posts. This would cut down on the amount of noise in the forums.
I propose the following categories/actions (top-level posts only):Off-Topic: The post is off-topic to the forum (and only the forum). I don't think this should apply to off-topic responses of an on-topic post, perhaps another message type would be appropriate for those?
Duplicate: The post is a duplicate of another message in the same forum. When marking a post as a duplicate, a link to the original/other post should (must?) be provided.
Cross-Post: The post is a duplicate of another message in a different forum. When marking a post as a cross-post, a link to the original/other post should (must?) be provided. I do think there is a difference between an "off-topic" post and one that is just posted in the wrong forum. For those that are just in the wrong forum, we should be able to move them to the right one.
In all cases, the post subject should be pre-pended with the appropriate designation and the post should be effectively hiden unless a filter was specifically set to show them. Of course, when a post is moved or otherwise categorized a reason should (must?) be provided and an email sent to the original poster. This would move/categorize the post and all responses to that post.

Perhaps you could reply to my same suggestion even farther back in the mists of time once you've had a good think about it.

How about a link to the post? I went through the last 30 pages in this forum and didn't see it...

Wrong link Chris. That's the link to my original post on this topic, not the post John was referring to.

Thanks! They are, indeed, similar requests. Hopefuly Chris and company will get some time in the very near future to give this some much needed thought and implement a good solution.

I don't know if you have yet considered this.
It would be very helpful to have an RSS feed for the Job Board.

Chris,
Thank you for fixing the problem I reported earlier. Now I can see my Chinese name displayed correctly at the page top next to "My Settings", at least it is displayed correctly the first time I open CodeProject.com in the browser.
Yes, it won't display correctly when I click any link to go to a different page. For example, if I click "Lounge", my name will change from "Xiangyang Liu 刘向阳" to "Xiangyang Liu ???". If I go back to home page again, my name will still be displayed wrong. Unless I close the browser and start a new one, then my name will be correct the first time CodeProject.com is opened.
I wouldn't bother you for tiny things like this, however, this bug is too funny. I named it the "second time and up" bug.
Hope you find it funny, too.
