That has got to be one of the most excellent answers I've seen in awhile. Very in depth and (even for me) simple to understand. Your analysis of how the OP's original code was causing problems was truly icing on the cake. Good work.

Thanks for the kind words.
It's too bad the OP hasn't been back to mark it as the answer - yet.

John, this is the perfect answer, just one addition. When using Tryparse() the second argument should be an “out” argument and the integer variables have to be initialized/in order to use the “out” key word./
I tried to add this as a comment to your answer, but it will not allow me for some reason /server problem it says/.

Thanks. I just plain forgot that. It's fixed now.

yep.

nope. that would be true for a ref keyword, out stuff is output only, it promises the caller a value will be assigned no matter what (barring fatal exceptions such as stack overflow).

When using Ctrl+Arrow on the first page, it goes directly to the second thread even though the first thread is not open to read.

Is already known as CP task #755; I reported it seven months ago here[^].

Yes, but it needed independent verification.

you got it. I'm very independent.

In the "What is 'The Code Project'?" page, you have postedeach without a space in the Articles section.
Also, why is it called Guide to The Code Project in the page?

I know that the The Code Project Discussion Boards[^] (yes, I added an extra the) code is available for download. I'm curious if there are other things, such as your custom log parser, that are also available somewhere? Why isn't that page linked in the "What is 'The Code Project'?" page?
Have a need for that since I'm not too happy with some of the other freely available one.

As far as I know the code in the article was redesigned and rewritten (in fact CP moved to ASP.NET several years ago if you remember). So I don't think any of CP's current codebase is available to download.

If you are, and you are fine with the StackoverFlow model, then their code is available for download. I don't know what license it's under though.

Will have to try it out, especially if it supports embedding photos.
The CP page was updated in 2010. Is that minor updates or the latest up to that point?

The last real update was in Aug 2001. The March 2010 update did nothing but change a few tags to be more html compliant. Like <b> to <strong>. It is just a minor formatting edit although it's not marked as one.

As pointed out, that version is ancient. I bug Maunder about breaking out a new version every few months (consider yourself bugged ) because I want to use it as the basis of a project of my own. The issue is that it's too dependent on the rest of the CP site framework to trivially fork out a standalone version, and various users (myself included) keep providing a steady stream of bug reports/feature requests that take priority.

Somedays I really think I should just rewrite the lot.

You know what they say. 3rd time's the charm, and if you explicitly make the forum engine independent of the rest of he site from the start you'll be able to publish it as an article as soon as it's done.

I deleted few and then left it. Thought, would be better to nuke the user directly as it looked to me that the user is currently active.
