How are those voting change suggestions coming along these days? The ones you made a while ago.
I fear that your suggestion will fall by the wayside, as all good suggestions do.
Oh well. I do like your suggestion, however.

Well, if Chris would only listen to some of my brilliant suggestions for this website, he’d probably be sipping a gold-dusted mojito on a beach on his personal summer island waiting for his family to arrive in their private jet so they could all go for an evening cruise in their luxury cruise boat.

He's too busy doing that right now to have time to implement any of your suggestions.

Not sure what you mean by a child forum. You mean a separate forum called something like "Lounge - Jokes"?
The lounge is for technical, geek discussions, and I don't see that bad nerd jokes should be excluded.

Well, don't you follow the threads there these days then? I see lawyer/blonde/pub/drink/race-stereotype jokes there but no traces of nerd-humor (good or bad).

No, I meant a child forum (you'd have to add a new feature I guess). So for instance you break the Lounge down into Lounge-Main and Lounge-Jokes (just using examples here). So someone could either view Lounge-Main or Lounge-Jokes individually or click on the parent forum (Lounge) which will show all the posts from all the child forums. Makes sense?

Saw a 24 vote in my list (first one) and clicked on it. The message came up but the voting info (links (1-5), text, and score) didn't show. Weird!
Must have been caching since it's back. Also forgot you can't vote on your own, but the score wasn't showing and now it is. Never mind!

Why is it that some emoticons have spaces around them, while others do not? The java one does not.

The person who wrote the code spaced out?

Seeing that I'm not sure where to put these suggestions, may I suggest the following individuals?
Paul DiLascia (anyone who's ever done MFC knows what a godsend he is).
Steve McConnell (needs no introduction)
Charles "the god of Windows" Petzold
Don Box - all round luminary, and once proud owner of the registration plate "IUnknwn"

I've passed these on to Terry.

I did wonder about adding Jeff Atwood to the list.

And also Josh Smith[^] with his iOS shift could be an interesting interview.

Hi,
I would find it a really useful feature if answers, comments and replies to my content were presented in a notifications view. I may be missing an existing feature? But it would make offering help and advice to many people more manageable if I was presented with a list of responses to my site activities.

|

Use the menu drop down below your name at the top right of the screen; you can then get a list of all your questions, answers and comments.

The Tags list gives .NET V1.0, V1.1, V2.0, V3.0 and V3.5 - but not V4.0 or V4.5
While 4.5 is only at RC status, 4.0 has been out for a few years now...

I've noticed over the last couple of months that the GridView questions in the asp.net discussion has really increased in frequency.
I've concluded to myself that the GridView must be the most complex subject in the Microsoft's arsenal of controls, and that a whole website could be dedicated to the subject.
I've never used the GridView Control personally, and often wonder why folks have so much trouble with it.
Anyways, I can many advantages to isolating the Gridview questions, such a targeted marketing, and faster better question response.

New forum for Gridview related questions? No.
This article[^] answers most(atleast some) of questions. I suggested them to include more things[^] but those authors still busy.
Also you could find more articles related to Gridview.

I tried adding some tags to the Ignored filter. Now paging in the list of questions is very slow and about 50% of the time, it will just say "Sorry, no entries found" - hitting Refresh normally updates to display a full page with questions.
Is this a bug or have I added too many tags (currently nine)?
I tried going back 30 pages in this forum to see if there were any discussions about this, but I did not see anything.

I have seen similar issues in other forums/article lists/etc. on this site, so I think it is a general filter system issue.
I do get the no entries found sometimes, and I also got the 'Abort, Retry, Fail' message once while filtering (But that was because the site had gone down.)
public class SysAdmin : Employee
{
public override void DoWork(IWorkItem workItem)
{
if (workItem.User.Type == UserType.NoLearn){
throw new NoIWillNotFixYourComputerException(new Luser(workItem.User));
}else{
base.DoWork(workItem);
}
}
}
