'Vis supported' means "The company will sponsor a visa application for you"?
We can add that...

So, what happened to my years and years of bookmarks stored here? They are all gone. Even the ones that I just put there a few days ago.
Not sure WHEN it happened as it has been a while since I last accessed them.
|
|
|
|
|
As far as I can see your hundreds (wow) of bookmarks are still there.
Suggestions on how to make them more manageable for you would be good.

Hmmm, now I can see them... I was getting an error yesterday that the site could not find any data for me...
Strange...
As far as suggestions go, it might be good to allow us to build a small tree or set fo groups to categorize them at some point... But then we could just use our own favorites list in IE to do that and save you all the work

Use an already existing infrastructure when we can rewrite large chunks of it instead? Never!

Maybe MS has an application block to do that
Microsoft.Enterprise.Application.Block.To.Handle.Faves.The.Way.users.Want.dll

Yeah, but it's buggy and requires you to write lots of plumbing code.

As soon as I try to visit the CodeProject on my mobile phone the browser resets.

Interesting.
It looks like ASP.NET is automatically deciding that your phone can only handle WAP/WML. Is this the case?

I don't know the answer to that question. I know that in general the phone can browse the internet fine but has trouble with the CodeProject. The sites I mainly use on it are Google, Wikipedia and so on.

All sites or just certain sites? Does it show sites the same as they appear in a normal browser or do you see a stripped down, mobile version?
Methinks I'll have to do some surgery on the .browser files.

I've noticed no troubles so far apart from with the CodeProject. Can you suggest a site for me to test with?

Anything. Pick a site, any site. Try a few common ones.

Job Board:
Would it be possible to setup email alerts if a job is posted in the vicinity of a zipcode or state. Ex: I live in Michigan, US and I would like to be notified of job postings in my area or state. This could be a voluntary program that is set in the 'My Settings', and I believe it would a desirable feature of people posting jobs on this site.
General Site Suggestion:
On the homepage of CodeProject their is a list of 3-4 forums on the right-hand side of the site. Would it be possible to have customizable to other forums. The forums that I most dwell in are VB, C#, .NET, Windows Forms, etc, and I would not mind having those appear on the homepage. The ones listed their now do, at times, have a catchy title, but for the most part I do not visit those forums.

1. This is something we've been planning for v2.0
2. We've added the ability to 'Watch' forums (click the eye glasses icon on a forum) and you will then see the latest 5 messages in your 'My CodeProject' page. I know this isn't quite what you're asking, but is it close?

1. You are one step ahead of everything
2. It is a start. The main issue that I am thinking about: When I first get to the CodeProject website, I want to be able to instantly know whether their is something that I can assist with in the other forums. One option with how the site is currently configured: have the ability to show the 'My CodeProject' when an already logged in member vists www.codeproject.com (could be an option in 'My Settings'). Or just have the ability to customize the forums listed on the main page, which was my first suggestion.
Overall you are constantly making great improvements to the site and whatever you go with I am sure will make the site better. I am just throwing ideas at you so that you can use or discard them as you wish.

Thomas Stockwell

Hey Chris and co. Why aren't the truly interesting and thought provoking posts in the discussion boards here as easily findable for a wider audience as blog posts on even the most mindless of blogs?
I mean there's no way to Digg them or promote them to a wider audience (whatever the kids are calling it these days).
For example, Jeff Atwood or Joel Spolsky say something and you can find links to it all over the internet, it sparks conversation and debate.
I've rarely ever seen a widespread (beyond CodeProject) discussion about something posted in these discussion boards. CodeProject seems quite insular that way.
Sometimes there are some very interesting things discussed here that would be of wider interest but no one sees or hears about them.
Is it a technical impossibility with the forums or...?

It's definitely technical possible. Part of the issue is that Joel et al has his own site and is the focus. We have thousands of amazing developers which means no specific focus on any single one.
However, I would love suggestions on how best to highlight a thread. We could list those most bookmarked, or those voted highest, or we could record every click on every post (I can hear Dmitry recoiling in horror) and then highlight the posts most clicked.
But what would truly define a good post? And where should it be displayed?

I wasn't suggesting a post be *moved* to somewhere else, though I guess that's a separate possibility.
A lot of the discussion in CodeProject forums is quite insular and restricted to this site but would be of wider appeal to people on the internet at large; one way to get people to take note is to be able to flag a post like you see at the bottom of blog posts to Reddit or Yahoo Buzz or Digg or StumbleUpon...whatever is appropriate.
I guess what I'm suggesting is that the top of a thread, the initial post be submittable to those sites as one way to resolve the issue though perhaps what we really need is some kind of town hall forum type area where there is a topic at hand and people discuss it but since that's already what you get in the forums....ahhh I don't know, I just know that there is a lot of interesting stuff discussed that remains within this "gated community".

Chris, see my response here[^]. I think leaving it up to the reader of the thread to promote it on one of the social networking sites in the same way as articles. I don't think this needs to be (or should be) an automated thing at all.

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.
