Hello,

I use forums.asp.net a lot, and one of the things I really like about that forum is the ability to select all of the topics that have been unanswered by anyone (not including the original submitter).  This is a really nice feature, and my suggestion.

Thanks.

It is our pleasure to announce the immediate availability of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q3 2008 SP1 (Version number 2008.3.1125).

Happy Coding!
Telerik Team.

Been a Telerik user for a couple years now and I find the forums are a great place for information and troubleshooting.  I have solved the majority of my problems/questions by visiting the forums.

My main complaint is they are unbelievably slow most of the time especially when changing pages on a forum.  A click and wait of 9-12 seconds is pretty regular for me.  I have tried multiple computers, browsers and OS's and it's the same.  It's been this way for the entire time I've been a member.

YSlow for Firefox shows the bulk of the time is waiting for the page itself.

Is it just me or are others having issues?

On your product demo pages for ASP.NET AJAX controls it would be very handy to have a link going to the specific forum for the control you're viewing.

Hello,
If you guys in Telerik use CSS Sprites in Forum for product Images you can reduce at least 110 requests and make a good performance improvment.

Hello Telerik,

I currently work for the University of Southern California as a Sr. Web Developer.  I had the privilege of meeting your awesome team at Devconnections 2008 in Las Vegas.  You guys are the best AJAX controls for .NET out there.  You integrate elegance with cutting edge functionality.

Using your controls we were able to create a simple yet effective CMS system.  We utilize almost all of your controls and by doing so we have cut production time by 50%.  Here is a short list of some of our production sites:

http://housing.usc.edu/
http://hospitality.usc.edu/
http://thelot.usc.edu/

Along with these sites we have several internal internet applications and a few more websites that are in our pipeline.

You guys rock!

The new forum design seems to have a major issue with my Firefox v3.0.4 browser. In creating a new thread, I'm able to only change the title edit box but complely unable to type anything into the message edit box. Not even the buttons on the top of the edit box: Bold, Italic, Spell Checker are working. The only way I'm able to type this is to load the page in IE, which is incredibly annoying. Could you please help fix this issue ASAP? Thanks.

Hello,
I found a very good article series about ASP.NET Membership and one them Implementing Logging In As Another User.
Read it in Examining ASP.NET 2.0's Membership, Roles, and Profile - Part 13

In the new forums (which I have learned are actually the old forums, just re-skinned and wrapped for use in Sitefinity), I can see that there is a difference between an unread thread and one that I have read because the title of the thread is bolder.  In the past there was a little icon to denote a thread with an unread post.  I don't mind this change, it just takes a little getting used to.  However, what I can't see anymore is a way to find out which posts within a thread I have read and which ones I have not.  Again, there used to be a little icon next to an unread post within a thread, and as far as I can tell there is no difference between read / unread posts within a thread anymore.
