Comments below articles

573 byte By Edward Evans at 2007-11-17 14:17:56
Would be nice if there was a link (maybe on the comments text itself) that would bring up a page of all the comments in a tree order so that it would be easier to see if there are any new replies to comments that were left by someone else. Currently one has to follow each of the comment replies to...

GoUpOneLevel

198 byte By navi at 2007-11-17 14:17:57
Can you add GoUpOneLevel hyperlinks to all web-pages within dev-archive (at the beginning and end of each page). Sometimes, the back button gets disabled and its a pain to get back up to one level.

text on site is barely visible

883 byte By gstokes at 2007-11-17 14:17:58
A lot of this site sets a light grey background, but fails to set a text color. When the text color is left undefined, it could turn out to be anything, including white. The browser will draw text in whatever color the operating system is using for text.So a lot of the dev-archive pages wind up bei...

We cann't search a post by the auther's name. I think it will be very useful if we can do so, because some people are very good in a particular programming like, networking, controls, databases, and they mostly answers to those posts. So we can search by the authors post, and may be get al...

This would be a nice option. There have been several times that I didn't want to use the signature feature on a post or two, and it would be nice to have the option. :) It could be placed right by the "Email all replies to my real email address" checkbox as another option.<br/>- Troy

I bet you guys could gather enough info for a very informative salary survey. It would be great to see one broken down by region, skills/tools, and experience. Ideally, it would be run on the VC++, VB, and Java boards to be able to compare those too.

Given that 99% of for loops use i as an index variable into arrays, it makes virtually every post with an array look wrong & sometimes it is unab...
