Forgot the exclamation mark! I knew it was something...
As far as I know, these are left as easter eggs for the (dedicated | people with too much time) to find out.
Thanks for fixing this uber bug! (ok, it was me...)

Well done. I'm not even going to ask how you got all those.
But you know I'm just going to have to add more now

Hi,
Maybe what I'm suggesting can already be done, but I just have not been able to find out how. If so, sorry - but maybe then the suggestion would be to make the subscription process more obvious. Clicking the Set Options button at the top of the replies just takes me to the top of the article, which seems a bit odd...
As an example: I would like to subscribe to the responses to Leslie Sanford's C# MIDI Toolkit, so that I get all new messages sent to me (as if I was getting a reply to something I posted there).
Great work you guys do!
all the best,
James Ingram

This has been on our TODO forever. The issue is the number of emails that would need to be generated could quickly overwhelm our servers.
I want it though. I'll try and bump it up in the priority queue.

Thanks for the reply, and for bumping it. It would be very useful.

It is possible that some articles may not display properly on mobile devices, because of the formatting or images they use.
In these cases, it should be possible for an author/editor to mark the article as may not view properly on mobile device. The viewer could then be asked, Do you want to download the article files?, without having to view the article.
|

What if I allowed members to edit anyone's article, and once an edit was done the member could then accept or reject the edit. If they don't respond within X days (30, 60, 360?) then it gets opened up to the community on whether the update should be accepted.
That way if something doesn't render on mobile then we can have the community take a stab at creating a version that does.

I don't mind if anyone wants to edit any of my articles, as long as the original article isn't touched, and stays at the same web page url. Maybe there should be a mobile.codeproject.com for these retrofitted articles.
I assume you're being serious. Sometimes I have a hard time with humor.
|

I'm being very serious. There would have to be a 'do not touch my article' or a 'create derived versions only' flag, but think of all the orphaned articles we have lying around...

Yes, in that case, I agree. Are you thinking about letting individuals adopt an article, and it then becomes theirs? Or does it become an "open" article permanently?
|
|
|
|
|
That's up to what the community feels works best.

There are some questions that come up in the Lounge on a recurring basis, frequently starting with the words, What tool do you use...
I suggest that you contact these vendors, requesting a discount for CodeProject members (via entering a special discount code at checkout). These are just some of my favorite tools, I'm sure others can give you more ideas. - Snagit - the best screen capture utility available; great for authors
- Acronis TrueImage - the best backup tool for both files and entire drives.
- HTML-Kit Tools - another great tool for authors, this is the paid version of HTML-Kit.

I reckon it would be great if those posting their stuff in the Catalog would add promotion codes.

Come on - let's be having access to "Test forum. Unique key: D4574C12-E0AE-4db9-847A-8FD4F2402492" which has suddenly appeared in the forums listing.
"WPF has many lovers. It's a veritable porn star!" - Josh Smith As Braveheart once said, "You can take our freedom but you'll never take our Hobnobs!" - Martin Hughes.

You'r late. There already is a "Kilroy was here" message.
Wait two or three days and we'll have another new forum, or another new name for an old one.

I have a suggestion which might have been suggested previously.
I've recently started using my "smart" phone to connect to CP so that I can get the fix when I need it. But, even with a browser like Opera mini, the issue is when clicking on the different posts, the whole page gets reloaded.
Why couldn't this be re-done in Javascript? As is, the page already downloads all of the content.

Hi Chris,
the forum navigation pane says "Bold indicates new messages since 13:25 16 Mar '09"
however local time is only 11:52 so there is a difference of 1.5 hours in the wrong direction.
Some forum names are bold, and very few messages are marked "NEW" although this is my first CP visit in many hours.
BTW: my settings still include Daylight Savings Time checked (which I feel is wrong since we haven't changed the clock yet, that will happen end of march), as you suggested before (due to an article showing "16-MAR") while it was 15-MAR nearing midnight here in Belgium.
[ADDED] When I uncheck the DLST the "Bold indicates new messages since..." value decreases by one hour, however it still is in the future.[/ADDED]

If you're still thinking about breaking articles up (for display purposes) into multiple pages, I was wondering if it would help to define a custom HTML tag - say, <PAGE> - to allow authors/editors to indicate preferred break points? That way the scripts might do a better job of pagination.
|
|
|
|
|
Great minds 
I was thinking a <pagebreak /> tag or something. I was also thinking of adding a pagination control that members would be able to use to select better page breaks. I still want to have paged articles as an option (especially for when I'm browsing on mobile) but the thought of trying to write a script to automatically break free-form HTML into a 'standard page length' is disheartening.
