Latest Article Filter also applied to Q&A
-
If I click on the Startpage (just plain http://www.codeproject.com/[^]) in the Latest Article section on the filter for C# this gives a nicely filtered list of articles and tips. If I now switch over to http://www.codeproject.com/script/Answers/List.aspx?tab=active[^] a filter gets applied: "C#, C#3.5, C#5, C#1.0, C#2.0, C#3.0, C#4.0". Even if there was a filter previously set for Q&A questions. Ist this an intended "feature"? As far as I can see the filters aren't connected to each other directly. (That means, I can reset the filter in the Q&A manually and am able to see all questions again, but the "Latest articles" list is still filtered by what I originally selected there (e.g. "C#")). And is there a way to "prevent" the site from overwriting the Q&A filter? Also an interesting side effect: If you select "C++" in the article and follow the quick link to the C# questions in the Q&A you get no results because "Sorry, no entries were found matching tags C#, C++, C++/CLI, C, VC6, VC7, VC7.1, VC8.0, VC9.0, VC10.0, VC11.0, VC12.0" :) A better way in my opinion would be to separate those filters from each other. But those preselection isn't really bad for Q&A either. So a quick way to find only e.g. Android questions would also be nice. Why not change the list with the 5 most used tags under the "quick answers" menu to a menu that contains those predefined filters. In addition I'd suggest that if you open the Q&A page through those direct links the custom filter should not be applied (except the "Ignored" tags)
