I just took a look at the "Visual Studio 2010" article and realized it's exactly the sort of thing CP should be striving for more of. There isn't enough of this kind of forward thinking going on these days and C.P. is probably an ideal place to have it happen since there isn't as much of an agenda being pursued here as at corporate or other sites.
I think it would be really nice to see a dedicated area to future concepts articles rather than lumping it in with "General". A no holds barred showcase of sorts for people with interesting new ideas that might be considered sacreligious anywhere else. Things that may or may not be a complete working program or maybe just some screenshots, diagrams or "papers" with no code just text.
We're often too focused on the present and we're allowing large corporations to set the future agenda, in the old days it was us developers that set the agenda by coming up with cool new things on our own that eventually became adopted as their merits were seen.
I'd also like to see some contests to incubate ideas with a theme from the future or a potential requirement for something from the future. Not just another button control, something that is really out there at the edges.
Start with a question in the lounge of what programmers think will be the features in future applications (say in 2020) and then use some of those posts general thoughts as themes for submissions or contests.
We need to remember that the future doesn't just have to come at us with surprises, we make the future right now.

Hi,
I hope this is the appropriate forum for this kind of post.
I just submitted an article (<http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/stringtable.asp) and I noticed that the article submit wizard consistently break my HTML on this kind of construct:
<SPAN style="....">Text</SPAN>
-> The closing tag disappears !
I wanted to use colors in words of a couple of sentences to illustrate an issue. The problem is that the color of the text is not restored properly due to the missing span closing tags.
Look for the word 'brown' in the article : there should be one word in brown and _one_ in red.
I realize there are a couple of predefined styles that should be used such as for code snippets and identifier names. I do use them. But I also need this custom coloring at one place in my article.
Can anyone suggest a way to work around this problem.
TIA !
Serge.

I checked the article and you have:
The quick <SPAN style="COLOR: #808000">brown <SPAN style="COLOR: #ff0000">fox jumped over the lazy dog</SPAN></SPAN>
Use the "Design" mode in the editor (right hand button, buttom row at the top of the editor) and manually change the HTML to:
<P>The quick <SPAN style="COLOR: #808000">brown</SPAN> <SPAN style="COLOR: #ff0000">fox</SPAN>
jumped over the lazy dog
cheers,

Chris,
I've tried that a couple of times already. Tried again just now. But the closing tags keep being rejected to the end of the table row as soon as I save the changes ! 
(As opposed to what I initially wrote, these closing tags are not completely deleted, they are actually moved).
Serge.

That won't help. I had the same problem a while ago.
You can type 100% correct tags, and after submitting the text they are moved around.

Is there a page that lists all the prize winner articles chronologically?
P.S. - Is there such a thing as chronorandomly?

I think a DirectX forum would be a nice addition to CP.

I thought I saw a place to suggest survey question but I can't seem to find it now so I suppose this will work. I'd like to see a survey on Team Foundation. I.e. Do you plan on using Team Foundation Survices in .net 2.0?
1) Absolutly
2) Tried to look at but could never get it installed
3) Havn't looked at it yet
4) No Way
Thanks!

It would be very useful - any chance? Or is there one already and I've just missed it?

There are lots.
Look on the front page - there's a little [RSS] link above the list of recently updated articles. This changes based on the category tab selected above.
Look on individual users' bio pages - if they post to their personal forum blog, then those posts are available through the [RSS] link there.
