    Very similar to that, except that we have a 'position' field that requires sorting by a single column instead of the two columns that uses. Their idea is excellent though - I may adapt mine to use that instead since it would save on storage (or position field is large).

          When you have a clue, some suggestions on how to help alleviate the problem and a spell checker then I'll discuss the issue with you. FYI I did make some changes today that I hope will reduce the problem but until I get the time to rewrite the entire thing the best thing to do is write me a polite email and ask me to fix up whichever thread is playing up.

                  oh... don't give me that courtesy crap. You think u're doing anyone here a f*ckin favor? please... Your ads and microsoft sponsorship data is not renagading, but the forum isn't generating money, so let it stink. I think when there's a problem for this long, it needs to be pointed out, and there's no need to insult me for that.

                      Could it be that chris and his buddies can't do effective tree management? I am trying hard not to think that is the case, but that's the only way my thoughts are lining. Too many threads renagading.

                      What a thoroughly venal comment! I suggest that you demonstrate the proper way to do this by establishing your own site and providing content of equal quality without any minor glitches. Alternatively, in case you're of a mind to actually contribute something of worth, you might submit an article that illustrates a truly foolproof algorithm for properly handling simultaneous posts.

                            As you no doubt know being a software developer yourself, a large, complex codebase is difficult to make 100% bulletproof. Fortunately, even though this is a complicated technical matter, in your case there's a pretty straightforward fix to the problem that you can actually perform from the client side. Simply eliminate the text "www.CodeProject.com" from the address line of whatever browser you're using, and you'll find that the problem will be immediately resolved.

                              I personally think that the only thing you're trying hard at is being an asshole. You've been a member less than a month and you think you know enough about what goes on here to offer an opinion? Your statement pegged the dipshit meter, obviating your lack of anything resembling what would be universally recognized as a "clue".

                                Chris, I think the best response to all of these people is to stop making excuses and fix the problem. You've said you were a) looking at it, b) thinking about it, and c) tweaking it for many weeks. So now you're getting some dings. Poor Chris! Stop whining and fix it.

                                      While your response was short and to the point, I think mine was more descriptive and contained a certain amount of je ne sais quois.

                                          When you have a clue, some suggestions on how to help alleviate the problem and a spell checker then I'll discuss the issue with you. FYI I did make some changes today that I hope will reduce the problem but until I get the time to rewrite the entire thing the best thing to do is write me a polite email and ask me to fix up whichever thread is playing up. It's called courtesy. cheers, Chris Maunder Rub your belly and pat your head simultaneously. Sometimes that helps me make sense of things - Jon Sagara
