Is that "cool" tree control with indents for thread posts really worth it ?
You bet it is. I'm on a modem at home and I love the fact that I can get a whole page of messages and read several, all with only one page load. I remember the time before that feature was implemented, and having one page load for every... single... post... I... wanted... to read... was unbearable. Switch your viewing mode to "Normal" and see for yourself.

Why not give articles that have won a competition a special Bi-Line as to what is so good about them, so some of us aspiring authors have something to strive for.

I'm not quite sure how the article process here works (having not written one myself), but I think it would be in the interests of sanity and the quality of the site to prevent articles this poor from getting onto the main sections of the site and into the RSS feed (where upon, I get annoyed and end up writing suggestions like this one):
http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/AspNetEXButton.asp[^]
Therefore I suggest some sort of queue - which is still visible to all users of the site (this is important), but articles are not sectioned or placed on the main page until either an editor has taken a shufty at it (not necessarily edited it), or the article has been voted to some suitable score, say 2.5 (as an article might have good content or ideas, but be poorly written or explained). Articles would not count towards a users article count until they were out of the queue. Anything that consistently got voted poorly could be booted automatically after a period of time. articles that consistently got voted averagely or well could be automatically added to the main site.
The link to the queue could either be a separate tab on the main page, or a link in the sidebar.
At any rate, what I'm interested in is improving the S/N ratio or articles on the site (which is already good, but things this poor shouldn't even see light of day)

... a Design Discussions forum, where people can discuss design decisions? People can use the General Discussions or even the Collaboration/Testing forum, but I feel that alot more people would use a forum that's specifically for it, rather than a general forum.

...a poll on the forums people wish to have. Let's make a list, starting with:
Design and Architecture
WinForms
WebForms
Hardware

Good idea! You might want to make that a real poll, like the "best articles" polls.
I think all of the topics would make good forums, but especially the Design and Hardware topics.

Hi All,
Most of the problems i'm facing in my current project relate to winforms and i find it confusing as to which forum i should post my questions to - i'm posting my problems on either vs.net issues, c# forum or else the ado.net forum.
I think it would be more convenient to have a winforms forum covering all aspects of windows application developent using winforms.

How about a new control section that allows submissions with controls that match those in XP.
For example the control panel menu (the right side, not the task pane on the left), or letterbox (widescreen) mode (login screen).
I have code that duplicates both of these XP only things (I haven't submitted them yet).

Controls such as these can go either in their relevant sections (list, edit etc) or in the 'Misc controls' section.

Hi - Why don we have a ... kind of - BEST ANSWERER OF MONTH - Put his name on main page - or put kind of his interview (just for fun)... I don want this to show-off one's abilities... but I think it would be fun - and will encourage ppl to answer more.
Answering should not be number of posts excatly, attach some points-ratio gained as well as...
Being web developer, I know it will require more programming, but life could be easy if there is good DB design and code style.
Do think about it.
Good Day;

I think people have been asking for this feature for a long time, and I think Chris should add it as an option to the user's profile.
Allow threads to be ordered based on the datetime of the latest posts or replies.
In other words, if someone just replied to a thread and I have this feature turned on, I should now see that thread appear at the top of all the other threads. As long as this is an optional feature, it should not be a problem for people have become accustomed to the current behavior.
Thanks Chris!

I'm sure there is a design/architecture reason for these problems
Why do I get a notification email when I post something to my own message board?
Why does it say 'Personal Page for Member 11599' rather than 'Personal Page for Michael P Butler"
Just curious

Because not everyone has entered their name, and because people continually change their name and I was lazy when I wrote the tie-in code that links profiles with messages. My dirty secret is out
