Would that be too much to ask for?

One thread starts mid stream at the top of the soapbox ahead of any new threads, then the start of the thread is positioned in the correct place.

Wouldn't it be better to separate those two from each other? Besides some common syntax they are really totally different and posters seem alyways to forget to also post which one they are referring to.

I would say get rid of the classic VB stuff altogether.

With classic you mean non .Net Visual Basic?
If there would be no classic VB forum the problem would be they would nevertheless post in the VB.Net forum...  .
So the 'Classic VB' forum should be there but treated as a garbage bin

There'll be appliction written using classic VB for decades to come - Why get rid for a forum for it? If don't like VB so my solution is to simply not look in the VB thread. I think the seperation would be a good idead as has been done with C++.

Thats exactly the reason why I want them separated

That's what he wants to do, but the problem with it is that the users don't mention if it is about VB or VB.NET so you first have to read (or start reading) before you know you should not read it ...

Hello,
Add upload ability for users who dont want post article, but add a small sample project at their question.
By the way, there is somewhere in the WWW to upload some small project and made a link here ?
Thanks

If I see a question on a forum with a "small sample project" attached I'd ignore it. It is difficult enough to help people as it is without wading through tonnes of source code to try and find their problem. It is much better training for them that they can detect where the problem lies in the first place and present it well than be told to change line 1437 of xyz.vb in order to get their program to work.
In order to help people I already wade through poor descriptions of problems that frequetly lack the error message, what the code is supposed to do, what happens, where the problem is, and so on; poor language skills (and I do try and make allowances for people whose first language is not English); the entire file posted (despite the Code Project forum warning the poster that the post is excessive in size); and many other things that make it more difficult for the person trying to help actually help.

I have seen many problems with the message board trees. For example the following[^] comment I made looks like it has children (replies): this is not the case, these replies belong to another entry in this thread but when I added mine it hijacked them. If you look at the times the messages were posted you can see something weird is going on. I've seen complaints about this in the past (I think). This can break the flow of the conversation and could even result in someones comments being missinterpreted.
So my suggestion is this:
Can you fix this?

The thread reads this way to me as below. Is the order correct??
1) You (Stephen) replied the OP (ppatel567).
[Quote]"This is called a Forward Declaration ..."[/Quote]
2) ppatel567 answered you that he hadn't got the point after having read your explanations.
[Quote]"I still dont get it "[/Quote]
3) grigsoft suggested ppatel567 that he is not obligated to use forward declarations, and should avoid using it if he hadn't understand it well.
[Quote]"Well, you don't have to use it anyway ... it can be avoided."[/Quote]
4) You (Stephen) questioned why to avoid.
[Quote]"Why would you want to avoid it? "[/Quote]

No. The reply to my post actually predate my post as can be seem from the post dates. It is not a reply to my message.

It seems that when I post a message, the rendered sig is not using the font size I specified. If I hit refresh, it fixes it.

I would like to suggest code project to add Delphi and Delphi.Net as they are great products and there exist a good number of members who can enjoy your site.
