OK CP regulars, let me in on the secret
-
Okay...so...now that I've recovered from my sleep deprivation... I've seen it numerous times - a thread is started, and deep within that thread someone mentions [insert regular CP member here], and that person somehow sees that message and responds. You can't possibly be sitting on the forum, hitting F5 every once in a while, and reading through all the new messages, can you? Is there some sort of notification or IM style tool I'm missing? Or do you just have a LOT of friggin spare time on your hands? I tried "watching" the lounge but that didn't do anything...I didn't get any emails of new threads...so what's the point of that? You know what would be really cool - an MSN Alerts implementation for CodeProject. I love how I can get notifications in an MSN message instead of my email if I'm logged in.
the Internet warns me each time my name pops up. Doesn't it do that for you? did you forget to renew your subscription? :)

We're all actually bots. You maybe the only human left. Don't worry, the hamsters will fix that, very, very soon ... just wait there. :-\

Well getting a notification on the chat client that my office approves off would be great. Anyways, for now my addiction helps a lot. I use Ctrl + F5 only and only with CP. CP is the best ever addiction I have ever had.

You can probably just use F5; most browsers, CTRL+F5 will bypass the cache, and make loading considerably slower...

And that is what the point is. I wan't to see the latest CP page every time I refresh.

An F5 will still show you all the latest posts. Ctrl+F5 will bypass the cache entirely (loading all those things that hasn't changed as well).

I don't know if those are hallucinations or what, but F5 does not works for me. I see a post and after an F5, it just vanishes. That has firmed my belief that I get to see a cached copy of the page instead of a fresh one. BTW I feel that auto refresh rate of 15 mins that CP offers is far too high than what I would like.

Liar. I happen to know that you have a hardwire link into your brain from the lounge. That's the only way you can get such a high post count.

How on earth do you get anything done? The constant "context switching" in my brain every 5 minutes would totally destroy my productivity. I'd become a useless forum reading blob that spits out 10 lines of code an hour :laugh: If I force myself to concentrate it usually takes me about 10 minutes to really get going, and then I can just keep going indefinitely until I get distracted by something and lose focus. As wonderful as CP is, I think someone should do a study as to the productivity impact CP forums have lol.

Holy crap! One shy of 62,000 posts?? Not that your 16,000 posts isn't rediculous either ;P Do you guys ever actually get anything done?
