Just thought I'd point out that when a thread is removed from the forums and people had subscribed to it, there is no way to become unsubcribed at that point and the link in the "My Subscriptions" does nothing (which makes sense because it shouldn't go anywhere, but I believe confucius said that a link that doesn't work shouldn't exist). I think you might want to include a quick little unsubcribe icon in a new column in the "My Subscriptions" list anyway - this would make multiple unsubscriptions easier (since most people would likely do unsubscriptions in bulk when they enter "cleanup" mode).
I have a suggestion wich I hope you will be thinking over:
At this moment I'm working in Kathmandu, Nepal. I tried to download the r.a.d.controls suite Q1 2006, but it failed over and over again. Sometimes the connections are so bad, that the download stops and then I have to start again to download 116MB over a max. 56k internet connection. It takes for hours.
So, if there was like a Download Manager (like the one from Microsoft) then after the connection I could continue download the file I was currently downloading...
Maybe you have other suggestion or you could think about it. I hope to hear a response, so I'll wait for that before trying again. I have to pay for each MB, so it is going to be an expensive download :)
I just had to take a moment to share that I (finally) started digging into RadCallback over the past week and a half, and I couldn't be happier.
I've put it off for quite a while, but with Q12006 and some free time, I decided to dig in. I have since gone overboard with the new versions by replacing several image navigation systems with TabStrips, implented some toolbars with RadToolbar, and Ajaxified several areas of a large application for things like saving records and user management interfaces.
The interaction and compatabilty between controls from Telerik has been outstanding. Although I have read about the interaction many times over, I was so impressed to be able to see it first hand.
An example: I took an existing RadMenu that had a group for "selecting an option" where on Postback the leftimage would either be blank, or a checkbox to indicate which option was selected. The options on the RadMenu would initiate a postback.
I switched this up for those menu items by having them fire a callback using a generic callback control instead of posting back. I know it is trivial for those of us that use RadControls, but I still can't believe how easy it was to just add the RadMenu to the controls to update and everything simply worked. The data on the screen was updated and the RadMenu now had the correct checkmark images in the right place.
Anyway, I'm sure this all second nature for those of you using RadCallBack already, but I had to share my experiences with those who have not taken the plunge yet.
Yes, there are some issues with validation, but I think I've gotten around those pretty well at this point.
RadControls has gone from an excellent suite of controls to a simply amazing suite of controls. I don't think I could ever develop without them again!
The rotator on the telerik homepage is no longer displaying correctly in FireFox 1.5 (though it looks okay in FireFox 1.0.5). The problem appeared after the site update for the Q1 release. The "What's NEW" text and button bar cover up the promotional images, floating up to the level of the "About us" title in the left margin.
If you cannot reproduce, I'll be happy to send a screen shot.
