Am I just looking for the holy grail?

Are you laughing because my story about being on the phone with a girl seems completely implausible? Or are you laughing because boredom is the only thing that can defeat my procrastination abilities? ;P

Obviously, we need some sort of combined David Wulff / David Stone to produce a slick forum system written in C# w/ LINQ and an AJAX-heavy UI w/ plenty of keyboard shortcuts and RTE.
---- Scripts i’ve known... CPhog 1.0.0.0 - make CP better. Forum Bookmark 0.2.5 - bookmark forum posts on Pensieve Print forum 0.1.2 - printer-friendly forums Expand all 1.0 - Expand all messages In-place Delete 1.0 - AJAX-style post delete Syntax 0.1 - Syntax highlighting for code blocks in the forums

Ugh. Do you ever use those RTEs? I always turn it off in WordPress installations and in GMail. Haven't used an RTE that felt natural and didn't get in the way of my uber, leet, superior Web-Bling 2.0 HTML skillz. Then again, I'd edit Word documents at the markup level if I could... :~ regards, Paul Watson Ireland FeedHenry needs you
eh, stop bugging me about it, give it a couple of days, see what happens.

I have a small site with a blog-like feature on the front page. It is unique in that each post contains the exact same table structure, the only difference being the number of rows. So, I am able to use a template to insert the table for me, and then I just add contents to the table like I would in a Word doc. It (the editor) has an image picker that allows me to upload pictures straight to the server. It saves me a bunch of time vs hand editing and uploading pics via FTP. For any situation other than that, though, I'd have to go with a plain text box and HTML or BBCode. Jon Sagara When I grow up, I'm changing my name to Joe Kickass! My Site | My Blog | My Articles

Morgan City
Hey I didn't know you spent time down in the bayou. Hell, that's even further south the Thibodaux. :laugh: Jeremy Falcon
I went there to play in a rock & roll band after I quit my first semester of college in '76. We gigged in Morgan City, Thibodaux, Houma, all those big nationally known hot spots. We drove up to New Orleans to party in the Quarter, but didn't play there. My memory of the girls there is that they were amazingly binary. Either they were drop dead ugly or there was something almost magical about them (I naturally gravitated towards the latter). There was no in between. And yeah, Morgan City is about as far south as you can go without being eaten alive by dragons. Or shot by drunk off shore oil workers, but that's a story for another time... ;) Author of The Career Programmer and Unite the Tribes

The first indication of trouble is usually when my sentences begin with, "All I wanted to do was..." I like the CP threaded forum approach. I find it much more intuitive to follow the train of thought than in the more common monolithic style of discussion board. For years now I've used David Wulff's excellent forum software. However, as I live in a C# / .NET world with my sites these days, I'd really like to find something similar to CP / Battle Axe Forums in a .NET / C# (and free) model. There seems to be a ton of stuff out there. Much of it is ambitiously priced. Those that are free are rarely C# / .NET. And the few that are use the monolithic format rather than the threaded method favored by CP. How freakin' hard can this be? Is there truly no forum code out there that meets this criteria? It's far too tempting to just sit down and code something myself. Fortunately, I don't have that kind of time. Any ideas, or am I just looking for a holy grail that doesn't exist?

They're still busy guarding that stupid cup. However, I don't think they would sully their otherwise checkered reputations by working for Microsoft (or for the benefit of a Microsoft product).

Storming the Micosoft compound wouldn't really do anything to increase their "warrior standing". Most of the idiots at MS are running around secretly listening to their Apple iPods, and probably wouldn't even hear the attack coming. Add to that the fact that probably 99.9% of the MS staff aren't exactly in fighting trim, much less carrying around their broadswords, and the KT would look like nothing more than schoolyard bullies. I think they've chosen "wisely". :) Note: The only worse choice I could think of is if the KT attacked France. Most of the KT kills would be a sword to the back, and that's only if they could catch the retreating French. The only reason the French would be able to survive is that they can run faster simply because they're not wearing all that chainmail garbage (or carrying weapons).

:laugh: Reminds me of an old Gary Larson cartoon. Couple of knights up on the castle walls. One of them yells, "Genghis Kahn, Genghis Kahn!" The second one wheels around in a panic as the first one laughs and says, "Made you look!"
