Some improvements for the site
-
Hi there. I think it would be nice if you add a java popup-window that is displayed when I hover over the article's link on the main page of the site, that way I could read a description of the article without having to open it led merely by my intuition, which is loosely based upon the article's title (and we know how vague that can be). Also adding the points article has accrued could be helpful. Thanks

My thoughts, too :)
If you try to write that in English, I might be able to understand more than a fraction of it. - Guffa

Currently working on C++/CLI in Action for Manning Publications. (*Sample chapter available online*)Okay Nishant, Java Script...and you should take it easy, not everybody here is a native English speaker. Actually, if you are not reading the content of the post and have no better comment than posting the question marks and smiley icons, they you might as well just take a hike.

Ignoring the Java - Javascript mixup, no one here likes popups. So for someone to suggest that the website should implement a popup seemed highly odd to me.

Currently working on C++/CLI in Action for Manning Publications. (*Sample chapter available online*)You still don't understand it...there are some cool small java scripts that would popup a small nice window with a text in it, something like a tooltip when you go over the links, so I never meant to suggest that we popup a real browser window, nobody likes that.

Even those are still annoying - though perhaps less so than a regular popup. There's a reason the website decided to allow people the option to turn off the Intellitxt ads. Anyway, just as you have the freedom to make a suggestion, I believe I have the freedom to comment on the suggestion. That's what's been done with other suggestions too. And I just don't like this particular suggestion of yours. Eventually, it's up to the people who run the website (Chris/Dave) to decide if they want to implement it or not. But this discussion is not meant to be personal - so please don't take it that way.

So suggestion it was...it is even under the Suggestions group! But okay, who cares, let's just forget about everything, and I will certainly not make any more suggestions.

You're allowed to suggest anything you want. Other users are equally free to say "i like it" or "I hate it". In this case, I'm with Nish. OPera does that sort of thing with it's tabs and doesn't provide a way to turn it off. I thought it was a bad idea when I first saw it, having been stuck with it for months, I now thing it's a horrificly loathsome idea.

Exactly...and my point was that he did not comment on it, unless you consider "Java???? Popup????" a valid comment. Maybe you should read the thread before involving into any kind of discussion. But anyways, he commented on that later on, and everything is cool.
