Placing of 'The Code Project discussion boards '
-
Probably, placing the 'The Code Project discussion boards ' over the left pane or right pane (or combination of both) can provide a familiar navigation(like Windows XP - Windows Explorer )

Truly lovely. That should provide a more visually compelling experience for the user and as well a lesser learning curve for newbies, thus minimizing the haphazard wrong forum-posts and cross (and multi) posts at least to a significant percentage.

Hi, I like it the way it is, it does not waste too much space on the horizontal scale, allowing for a wide view of (articles and) discussion forums. If it has to offer the suggested way, please make it user selectable. One suggestion on the ordering and grouping of the discussion forums: I would prefer them to be arranged more logically, something like
- programming topics
.NET Framework
each of the languages (and please separate VB and VB.NET, and rename the two
C++ ones including the terms managed and unmanaged)
ATL
COM
SQL/ADO.NET- technology & tools
Windows Forms
Graphics
General Discussions
Visual Studio
Operating Systems
Vista
hardware
math & algo - leisure
soapbox
lounge
This I hope would result in fewer wrong-forum-posts. :) -- tags added at 19:35 Thursday 23rd August, 2007

this weeks tips: - make Visual display line numbers: Tools/Options/TextEditor/... - show exceptions with ToString() to see all information - before you ask a question here, search CodeProject, then Google
- technology & tools

A slight page redesign may be needed to fit the elements into the screen real estate though. :) But I feel the effort would be worthy investigating considering the seamlessly familiar user experience and also the minimum learning curve involved for a newbie. :) Weighing the pros of the proposal, I feel the suggestion to be an Active Contestant for the 'Feature Request' position. What do you say?
