You could save one mouse click by showing an extra field : Last Message Posted on 11/15/2009
But I am against showing the Last Activity Time since that is definitely a privacy issue there.

I realize that I may be speaking for just a few abandoned, orphan programmers here, but it would be GREAT if this site included a category and/or filter for articles that used only Win32 API calls instead of MFC, ATL, .NET or other things like that. Believe it or not, there are still people out here who write in C (not C++, C# or any of those new fangled languages, although we might need to mix in some FORTRAN from time to time).
There are precious few resources available for folks like me and I think that The Code Project would be a great (and logical) place to find "plain" Win32 API example code. If I'm alone, well, so be it -- just ignore me. If I'm not, then maybe, with enough support, the folks running this site might help us out by creating the necessary categories, filters, and whatnot for articles that use C, only the Win32 API, GDI, etc.

I still write some code at this level on occasion, but if I had a question I would use the C/C++/MFC++ forum to post it. Most developers who use C++ and/or MFC will have enough knowledge to answer the sort of question you allude to.

I was thinking more about the library of articles and code examples. When searching for articles, there is no option to filter for "pure" Win32 API, so we C programmers can only try to glean what we know from other examples and work backwards to the APIs themselves. A very simple example of Win32 API articles would be those found at http://www.winapizone.net/tutorials/winapi/[^].
I won't try to plead my case any more than this, I just figured it wouldn't hurt to post the suggestion to see if there was anyone else interested in the same thing. If not, I'm no worse off than I am already... <smile>

My apologies, I did not read the title properly. Yes, I agree your request is quite reasonable, and I'm sure would help others, especially beginners in C or Windows programming.

Why is this message even displayed? So what if I don't live in a particular area ... should that stop me from seeing what jobs are out there?
while (e) { Coyote(); }

Because when a job is displayed to viewers outside the area the employer is interested in, the employer receives dozens, if not hundreds of applications from areas they really, really aren't interested in.
As an employer this is incredibly frustrating. Finding a job can be hard, but finding a great - or even suitable - employee can be just as hard. Employers often don't have the luxury of time and so need to narrow down applicants as best they can.

Just curious - how is the article rating determined?
I thought it was the average of votes but the math doesn't seem to work out...?
|
|
|
|
|
different members have different "status" (see their personal page), which gives their votes a different weight: none=1, bronze=1, silver=2, gold=4, platinum=?

Huh, neat - thanks for explaining.

Thanks! My very favorite part of that is the note:

Whenever I am posting something, it redirects to second page (even if it is the top most post). There, I cannot see page numbers in the bottom to traverse. Is it Chrome? Or some stupid setting I have made?

of course it is. Why don't you use a decent and popular browser, such as FireFox, or even IE7?

I am using it for quite a while now. And I sort of like it. It is quick and clean (no toolbars etc). I use FF as well. But it seems quite slow when compared to chrome.

I suggest you check presumed CP anomalies with at least one of { FF3, IE7 } as these are the most popular browsers, and Chris is bound to develop for and test with those first. Of course CP is meant to work well with a couple other browsers too.

IE7 - same behaviour.
FF - not checked yet.

Yeah I'm having some weird behaviour as well - also using Chrome.
Never had a problem before, but now when I reply to a post (say the most recent post), when the screen refreshes the post that I have replied to has gone to the top (so that you cannot see it).
You have to refresh the Lounge, and all is back to normal.
If that makes any sense at all I'll be happy.
[EDIT]
Same thing seems to be happening in this forum as well

Just did the same thing to me in the Back Room. Using the latest FireFox.
EDIT: And in this forum too... Looks like a server-side bug, not a javascript problem.

Sorry for not getting back to you guys earlier.
This is a bug. We'll fix it.

I noticed this Quick Answers question in the "latest" tab. However, when I posted an answer to it, it was no longer in the latest tab. Even when I hit CTRL+F5 to refresh the page, it still isn't there. The latest activity shown in the list was 47 minutes ago (this question).
I can still see the question via the user's QA list, but it isn't showing up in the "Latest" list.
You doing some upgrades or something that're throwing the system out of wack?

Nevermind, I had a filter selected (C#), so it wasn't showing up. Damn that filter.

I mentioned it last night, but it happened again this morning. I got a message from CSS in the lounge, and when I when to reply from the email, the page display was "Msgs to -1 of 985,145 (Total in Forum: 985,145)" - probably because his message was automatically removed (an insult to DD, just for a change). Not a problem, but it looks a little silly!

there are some messages you'd better not try and reply to.

I wasn't going to reply to it - I just wanted to know which one he was being rude about!
