My "drag scrollbar" finger, and my press "down arrow" finger, are getting cramps from scrolling past all the recent comments deleted from one recent Lounge poster, and their copious reply-comments, and then having to click to get to the next Lounge page only to find more scrolling required.
Could it be possible to have a little "graphic hickey" appear on the "page with folded top-left corner icon of whatever flavor" of a thread-start Lounge post that would collapse the whole damn thing and all subsequent discussion ?
Or an option to hide "removed threads and all comments" on a UI wide basis ?
By the way, I find myself puzzled by the variety of the thread and comments "page with top-left corner folded" icons: some have a kind of "document like" icon, some have an icon with a "smiley" overlayed, but I can see no pattern in how these icons are related to either votes on the thread-start or comments, or any internal comment. Clicking on any of them does nothing special: normally if I see a "variant icon" I expect a click to to trigger something.
I am sure Luc Patyn will respond to this shortly kindly explaining to me how I have, again, missed understanding a CP basic feature; so, thanks in advance Luc ! 
best, Bill
"Humans are amphibians ... half spirit and half animal ... as spirits they belong to the eternal world, but as animals they inhabit time. This means that while their spirit can be directed to an eternal object, their bodies, passions, and imaginations are in continual change, for to be in time, means to change. Their nearest approach to constancy, therefore, is undulation: the repeated return to a level from which they repeatedly fall back, a series of troughs and peaks.” C.S. Lewis

Those icons relate to the message type selected when you create a message, so the smiley, for instance, is the joke icon. You can select these types from the list of radio buttons above the title when you create or edit the message.

I haven't seen anything like this, but I think it would be useful.
Pete O'Hanlon already covered the icons (In case you missed that message, like some of my friends would  )

Hi Bill, I'm afraid I can't improve on Pete's answer, and sorry for the delay, as I was out for the day; first of May is a one-day tournament I don't wanna miss. Anyway, happy scrolling.
PS: I have chosen the "Answer" icon here, and FYI
1. I don't always agree with the default message type CP offers
2. the message type has impact on the rep points one gets
3. the message type can be changed afterwards, however the rep stuff seems to ignore that.

So essentially you're after a "collapse thread" (or just "hide thread") button?
(and the meanings of the message type icons are shown at the bottom of the forums)

Hi, It would be a lot better if the search engine provided with the Google mechanism for multiple words.
There is always hope ..!
|
|
|
|
|
As far as I can tell, it does have this support. For instance, this[^] is what I get when searching for WPF datagrid.
|
|
|
|
|
Well ,In fact it would be better if it contains key words like:
InTitle:"Understanding SynchronizationContext: Part II"
to find this article:
Understanding SynchronizationContext: Part II[^]
and query for [Understanding SynchronizationContext: Part II] resulted this :
this[^]
regards
There is always hope ..!
|
|
|
|

I just typed in "Understanding SynchronizationContext: Part II" (including the quotes), and got the article back that I would expect. What am I missing?
|
|
|
|
|
Oh actually I didn't know that the quotes are used in that search box ?!!
my mistake , sorry 
and thank you for your time Pete !
I really appreciate it .
best regards
There is always hope ..!

Every time when I press F5 page get refreshed and getting new values of the views count.
Here is the sequence.
9420,9427,9418,9419,9440
It is not always that views count gets increased.

If you notice at the bottom left of the page, there is something like: 'Web2','Web3','Web4', etc. These are various code project servers from where the response of the current page was received.
Every time you refresh, different servers might be returning the result. All the servers are not always in sync. Hence different values.

Hi Site Admins,
Just now I noticed that, you have added "FB" and "G+" as the alternate login method in CP. That's really great but you forgot to include Twitter and OpenID there. Are you going to plan those in near future?
BTW, what will happen when I already logged-in and want to add those accounts in CP, so that, I can login directly here using any of the account. There should be some option in the profile page.

We'll add more soon, and we'll also add the ability to associate other accounts from within CodeProject.

Unfortunately I can't find anything that sticks out. Any idea what you were doing when it changed? Between pageviews or logins?

1. Generally, I keep my CP logged in all the time.
2. This was what I tried: I went into settings, changed it to Paste as HTML, saved it.
3. Went to Q&A - looked at few questions. Answered few.
4. Found my paste is again being encoded. Checked and found that my settings are back to default first option of paste.
I just repeated step 2, 3 and found step 4! 
PS: I am on Firefox 11. Did Cntrl+F5 few times. Also, logged out and logged in last time when I did the change.

Is working stable from at least couple of weeks. And it’s fast! Thanks!
Before it was hit and miss situation in IE 8 and Chrome (“high load” error most of the time).

Great. However, we're going to revamp it entirely because it's still not as fast and stable as we want, and still prone to load issues.

Just tried to post a response in The Lounge and I got this message.
Now, I admit that I had used gotten in that response but shirley you have not 'improved' the naughty words filter to that extent!
Incidentally I am unable to cancel the unposted message.
The message I was trying to reply to had been deleted which was the cause of the difficulty.
However the inability to cancel would seem to me to be a bug(ish)

Offering support for someone being so blatantly reckless and abusive goes against my better nature, but I'll make an exception due to the fact that I've just managed to make a up of coffee that actually includes coffee.
My guess is the message you are trying to reply to has been deleted. The bug is the code that provides the error message is checking existence of the message as part of it's check for permissions to do the action, so the message is, well, bugish.
