This started as a serious thread... I meant the suggestion... seriously!

And next we'll need a banking forum, a how-to-get-along-with-my-boss forum, a bikers forum... Please, Luis, may we keep CodeProject a place for programming? Tech stuff is tech stuff, and business is business, don't mix it.

We already have a Visual Basic forum, a Java forum... 
Seriously, all banking, boss-related, marketing, and so on. There's this[^] site, which sometimes has good discussions. But given the amount of experience here at CodeProject, and that some of us are successful business owners (no, not him[^]), a general business-related forum would be a great help for others managing their own software related business.

Taking business and financial advice from the internet seems like a bad idea to me and most likely if you are doing that you shouldn't be in the business! I would also think that code project would need to put up a disclaimar so they don't get sued for bad advice such as using your life savings to buy stock in a company that then tanks and you lose it all or taking buisness advice that ends up being illegal!

I didn't mean general business advice. It would be me mostly a "Software Business" forum, where there would be questions related to the business side of programming. Maybe topics from project management, people, or a bit or marketing; but only topics related to a software company. There are many business owners here that could contribute a lot, and many people starting going on their own that could benefit.
About the disclaimer, it's very easy. Something like "The CodeProject is no responsible for the opinions posted by people in the forums." I guess that would cover your concern, wouldn't it?

When you modify an existing message the page goes back to the forum view. Whilst the message is selected as the active one, there is no page anchor in the URL to scroll it into view. Is this left off for a reason, or just an oversight? If it is possible it would be handy to have.

It seems our exchange server is choking. We'll be taking out the back for a good talking to tonight.

Cool. The CodeProject forums are so much harder to keep track of without reply notifications. Perhaps you need to invest in a RSS server too.

I get notifications about 50% of the time so I just check back on a regular basis if the thread is important to me. Otherwise, I just post the comment and go on about my business.

CP 'MessageBoards' link has a dynamic dropdown menu enlisting all the Forums. However in forums.asp, each of the forum caption has a brief tooltip (Title).
In the dropdown menu, I think it has been missed out. For new users, it would be useful. Is'nt it?

Inspired by this thread[^], could CP offer the newsletter as an RSS feed. Most of the content is available in some RSS form but it would be nice to have one weekly feed that brought the newsletter information together.

Why is VS.NET IDE issues located under Non-programming Forums, whereas Hardware is not?
It seems to me that the IDE is more software-related than hardware.

Because the hardware forum is for hardware problems, which consists of software problems, hardware problems and hardware programming problems, too.
VS.NET IDE is only about working with the IDE software, and not about programming with it.
Don't try it, just do it!

I have suggestion: do something with the code snippet in articles so that they can be collapsed or expanded (just like posts in the forums).
That way the article writer can optionally show a lot of code without getting a huge article!
Maybe the person who writes the article can set a tag to 'hidden' or 'shown'.
Something like this:
...blabla article
<pre state="shown" lang="vb.net">
...code and stuff that is shown at start, but can be hidden by the reader
</pre>
<pre state="hidden" lang="cs">
...code that is hidden, but can also be shown
</pre>
<pre state="alwaysshown" lang="cpp">
...code that is always shown, and can not be hidden
</pre>
more article blabla...
If the snippet is hidden, you couldshow the first line of the snippet, and a button next to it with a 'Sho whole snippet' text
It would be cool if you get a tooltip with the first 10 lines of the snippet, if you hover over the hidden snippet.
Just fantasizing...

Hi all,
I was looking on the site for an excellent article from Marc Clifton titled What is a Framework and so I've tried to search through the search bar. The answer was
No results found (Execution of a full-text operation failed. A clause of the query contained only ignored words. )
So I went to the mithic Google and typed:
www.codeproject.com: "what is a framework""
Got it!!! Even first in the list.....
Please Note : This is not a critic. It's only a suggestion to explore into search engine related issues that could make www.codeproject.com even a better service!!!
Have fun!

Hi:
Whenever someone replies to a thread, CodeProject sends out a mail to the predecessor or the originator of the thread that some reply has been posted to their question. Good.
Just observed a few quirks in the same:
(*) The message is being sent from <forums@codeproject.com>
(*) There was a small opening statement in the message which reads like this:
*** DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE ***
This message has been sent from an unattended email box. The actual
reply address can be found below.
Just thought instead of having the above, the email can be directly sent using the address of current message poster itself in FROM. Or at least as 'Reply-To' so that the above two things may not be required.
Of course, this will incur some SMTP configuration overhead for CP SysAdmins. Now they have to be sure that CP SMTP sends out mail only from their SubNet since any addresses needs to be accepted and at the same time not succumbing to spam (aka) junk mail.
I think, though it involves a bit of configurational complexities, this should be more user-friendly.

To be honest, I'm not happy with my email address being included in the reply notification - so faking the header would not please me at all.

Good grief no! I cannot think how much stupid mail I would get if this were implemented. At the moment the only mail that I get is from people who are inteligent enough to manage to read at least some instructions. I would hate to receive mail from all those who can't read a simple bit of information such as this.

Lately, I haven't been able to login when using firefox. I don't believe I have any settings in my browser that would cause this.
Any ideas?

Though I'm able to login using firefox (v1.0.4).. Firefox has problems with cookies and sessions.. for instance, "Squirrel-mail webmail sites" log you out all the time.. "Taking back the web" eh? 
What are your settings?
IE is actually a better browser, both rendering and keeping state.
