It would be really useful if the article stats were shown on the member's articles pages.

One of my articles has been on the receiving end of some 1 votes. The annoying part about this is that they didn't have the decency to explain why they felt that the article/code was so poor. So I'd like to suggest that it should be made compulsory to leave a comment when giving an article a 1 rating even if it is just to say "I gave you a 1 as I think your a tosser"

My guess about some possible reasons for someone to do this (in general):
* Author annoyed the voting member with some comment in the past, and this is a simple case of revenge.
* Voter has a competing article in the same category and wants to vote the author down to lower their rating. Possibly related to ensuring their article or other articles they prefer instead to make it into the monthly article competition.
* Voter thinks the rating is too high. They likely don't think the article is a 1. They just want to knock down the rating for no particular reason at all.
Basically, I am saying that some people have an agenda when voting. They have some kind of bias. For example, I think some people will vote for an author higher, if they have something in common with the author (e.g., nationality).
I'd like to see membership levels granted solely on the basis of article and message count, not length of membership. And restrict voting to members who have contributed something - messages and/or articles. People with 0/0 should not be allowed to vote.
I'd also like to see a volunteer panel of CodeProject members/staff that ensures an unbiased component to the rating of any article.

The general consensus on this is that forcing people to comment on a "1" vote will mean you will have lots of:
1 - asdfsdfg
comments.

Although it certainly would not hurt to display some text to them when they do vote a 1 to the effect of "It is most helpful to the author if you post a comment explaining how the article could be improved" with an easy link or something so it's optional but reminded to them.
"A preoccupation with the next world pretty clearly signals an inability to cope credibly with this one."

What's the possibility of allowing authors to update their own articles themselves, even after they have been edited/moved by CodeProject staff? Much like how unedited article submissions work right now.
It just seems like this would be a quicker way of getting the latest fixes out to members, as I suspect the typical update is something simple like a replacement zip file with bug fixes/minor features, and no changes to article text except for maybe the history section. The updated article could still go into a queue for eventual review by the editors.

After an update, the article should be marked "changed", or it could go back to "unedited contributions" until the next review.

LATELY (within the last week) after I post a reply to a message in a forum, and then have moved on to reading some other messages, about 1 minute or so later, I am ..POOFED.. back to the message I had just posted as a reply. VERY annoying 
Is this some crap IE bug on my end  or something you changed at your end 
Thanks.

Hi,
Whenever we click a ZIP or EXE downloadable files from CP, it asks for a logon. Good. But after logon, it just opens up the same article page. It would be great, if it opens the article page and additionally emits a small Window.ONLoad JavaScript to start downloading the zip/exe which has been clicked also.
It would just mean passing one more additional querystring and a small JavaScript trick.
This, I hope, would make CP more user-friendly and would reduce a superflous click required to start the download. Is'nt it?

In Discussion forums, a different quirk is encountered. It allows to login, but instead of coming back to the user_reply.asp, it goes to CP Homepage.
We need to click back button twice and refresh the page to get the user_reply.asp with logged on credentials refreshed.

Hi,
I observed a small quirk/discrepancy in CodeProject logon page. Before the page loads, if type I the username and tab it and then type the password and before I finish typing my password if the page load completes, the window.onLoad shuffles the control back to the username field.
I think if the textbox username is not empty, this focus need not be done. Otherwise, one would find having the password being keyed on into the username and one would et 'Please enter password' message validation.

I've got used to the new set and rather like it. I've a suggestion to make - how about changing the admin message icon to red?
Wouldn't that stand out better?

It was my suggestion looong loong back. When messages are deleted (in old case) the messages in the thread misaligned and they look wrong/bad. for example if the person deleted the root message of the thread.

Is the Preview mode on the message forums broken again? Several weeks ago I commented on it, and there was a "bug" that got fixed. Apparently, it is back.
Preview is my most favorite method of browsing through the forums, so I don't have to open every message just to see the "Right, I agree" comments.
Thanks,
Dave

Any chance we might get one soon? Seems to me it's an area that's sorely lacking here. You can ask in the language-specific forums, but many multimedia questions are a lot more general, and should not be confined to a language-specific forum.
The multimedia forum could cover video, audio, 3D, and maybe even 2D graphics.

when I write a new post, I will ad a subject, then TAB to the text area and start typing ...
but now, with the new icons, I cannot do that anymore, when I TAB, it goes to the first icon, so, no biggie, I TAB again, expecting to go to the text area, but alas, it goes to the second icon.
is it possible to either remove the top icons from the TAB order of the page, or put them in a group ( like it's done in "normal" windows applications ? )
Thanks.

What about a link that says... post since last visit.

2. The internet traffic is monitored. So, having an application that contacts the server every 'n' minutes will be a problem in long run.

When you follow your own tip on your search page, it gives an invalid syntax.
For example, using your sample... "Grid Control" NOT MFC
yields:
No results found (Syntax error occurred near 'Control""'. Expected ''''' in search condition '""Grid Control"" AND NOT "MFC"'.)
