I can have my browser scroll and move to the next/previous page, the messages I have read remain
in order though, so I will always recognize what I have seen before at a glance. And that is
what I insist on having, always and everywhere.
If in your proposal you have been reading messages on one page for say 5 minutes, and then ask for
the next page, what will you say when some, an indeterminate number of, messages, are from
the ones you just read, and those are not necessarily at the top of the new page, but all over
the place?
no thanks.
BTW: you are aware there is a "view unanswered questions button" on top of the pages?

While I agree with all of you comments, they all have a simliarity of assuming unasnswerd questions are bad. Is that true?
What about good questions that just don't get attention?

No, they aren't making that assumption at all. There are actually multiple issues here.
1. Posts should always be displayed in the same order, regardless of how many answers a post has.
2. Posts may be unanswered for several reasons:
a. The post is just junk and no one wants to give it any more attention.
b. The post doesn't make sense.
c. The post simply got missed.
3. In your proposal, not only would posts jump around based on the number of answers, but all posts without an answer would always be on the first page.
If the desire is to quickly see all of the posts with no answers, there is a "View unanswered questions" option for each forum which does exactly that. Yes, it requires an explicit choice by the reader but it keeps the flow of the forums consistent and moving forward with older posts falling to later pages as new ones are added.

On my dev machine I got script error "missing ')' ". I fired the debugger and behold noticed a missing ')' on the two functions ConfirmDelete() and ConfirmModify() in /script/forums/list.aspx
no harms, just annoying when running with script debugging turned on.

What to? The Bank of Code Project? Hand over all your money to Chris so he can afford to feed the hamsters.

I have marked few articles today and I can't see them in my bookmarks list. Event my previously marked bookmarks are not there.
When I click on My Bookmarks link, it shows me, "Sorry! We could not find the information for your request."
What am I missing here.

I like the "Normal" thread layout in the forum but would like to view more than 50 posts per page. 100 maybe.
Any way to do this? I'm not bothered if the page takes longer to load - I always end up pressing Next anyway which takes even longer.
Ta.

The forums have been doing this a lot today, especially between 10AM and 2PM (UK time).

If you've en watching the session count you might have noticed load has jumped fairly dramatically (20% - 30% in the last couple of weeks). This is the reason.
We have ordered a new box of newer, faster, better, stronger hampsters - they should be arriving next week. We'll also then be able to turn on our SQL farm which will be very excitement.

You're calling in the Six Million Dollar Hampster? Sweet.

I can always loan you a hamster. OK, ours likes to run on the outside of the wheel (jammed up against the cage) getting its little hamster jollies, but boy can it run.

Yeah, it's Tuesday. 
Actually, I had very little trouble last Tuesday; that message only showed for article message forums.
But I just came over here now because I got it in the C# forum. The Lounge was OK.

Dear CodeProject Admins,
As a foreign developer who wants to work overseas,
I pay attention to every job postings here.
Of course I know there's little job opportunity
that I can get Visa sponsor, but if I can figure out
a certain job is 'Visa supported' then it will be
very helpful. [Smile]
You know, I see a job which seems to fit with my
career experiences and skill level, then I read the
job qualifications and... find out there's no mention whether
I also can apply or not... It's somewhat frustrating.
I know CodeProject is not a Job site, but to most of us
the Job postings in here is much trustworthy then others
in job specific sites.
So, what I am suggesting is,
I think you can provide a 'Category' or option for
specifying whether a new job is 'Visa supported or not'...
What do you think? [Wink]

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