I think a great idea for navigating the forums would be a page that links to the threads you are currently participating in.

This would enable quick access to your conversations. It could have links for, say, the 10 most recent threads.

Yes that would be good.

A bit similar, I'd be also interested in the full list of threads I have started, i.e. all top-level forum messages I created over time (and I would look at them chronologically). Adding the option "top level forum messages" to the search page would do that in fact.

Come to think of it, you can do that already if you have a non-trivial word ("difficult") that always shows up in your signature:
- use the search page
- search for that particular word
- specify forum messages
- check "just my stuff"
- sort by "date created desc"

And then you can turn it into a "saved query" (haven't done that for a long time).

There's also the "My messages" page that can be of help.

I have been getting the Daily News for years to my email. At the top of the email is the "View on-line at" and a link to the Web version of the page. Because of the email package I use and my usage patterns of leaving them for a day or two, I ALWAYS click on the link and not bother with the rest of the email.

Recently; today for example, I received the email:

Subjet: Re: CodeProject | Daily News - It's an OOP world... is it? ...still?

and there is no link anywhere on the page for viewing on-line.
Is this a bug, feature or ???

Someone posted the exact same thing 5 posts below. They are implementing a new newsletter thingammyjig, and that feature won't be available for a while.

I would like either one point added to, or one point subtracted from my Editor Points.
I currently have an odd number, and as there are 2 points awarded for an edit, it means I can never get to a nice round number.
My OCD and Aspies is distraught.

Help my mental processes please!

If you stop looking at your points, your pain goes away. It's a simple solution, and will free you from so much mockery.

It is simply the knowing that it is wrong that is annoying.

Like when I watch TV and the volume is at 19, that annoys me.
15 is ok, 20, 25, 30... they are all ok, but if it is 31 that is wrong.

That happens with me too. Do they have a medical term to describe this disorder? I'm afraid it's not OCD.

Obsessive–compulsive personality disorder[^] sounds like it - or "being an anal-retentive" - which is what led me there.

Brilliant, now I'm annoyed by the fact that you have an "impossible" score, and I don't have the comfort of having asparagusness Smile | :)

Why is even "better" than odd, just out of interest?

Being is that you are an accountant, does it bother you if you have to write out a dollar amount for $35.17 or do you just round up? Smile | :)

...yes, I know you don't go by dollars but by British pounds. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

When I go to a restaurant, I always vary my tip amount so that I have an even total value.

if the bill is over 30 bucks and the service was descent or better, then I leave 2 dollars for every 10 dollars...rounding up on the bill.

edit - anything under I leave 15% of bill total. Weird way of doing it, I know.

And just in case you were wondering where this titbit of information came from looky here[^]. D'Oh! | :doh:

That is only if you consider 5 and odd number, I personally find 5 a number that quite alright.

He didn't mention anything about odd numbers, just round ones. So I suspect 3 is better than 4, but 0 would be perfect. In other words he wants his score to be reset to 0 (or maybe 00, for double pleasure Poke tongue | ;-P

)
