I can't wait. I can't imagine all the improvements it's going to enable. Just the few updates you were able to make have made a great site even better.
I was going to say it would be cool if you posted more about what you were doing with the site, and then I remembered your blog. I haden't checked it out since before the first database updates. I appreciate the mention.  It was good to see every thing you are doing to keep the site running. It might help people understand better if you can think of some way to give it a higher profile on the site.
I hate to bring it up, but on the way to reply to this, I did a search on the lounge and no results are being returned right now for any search terms that I try.
Keep up the great work.

I would like to see more white space between page elements - particularly the navigation bar and message board views. Just a couple of pixels would make the site seem a lot less busy and confusing.
Thanks for the great site!!!

Is there a printer friendly version of the articles?

Yes - look at the left hand nav bar in the articles.

Hello All.
Please help me!
I have VS.NET 2003 installed and I have problem with it. When I compile project it causes windows crash to BSOD! It fails during the compilation and I get no message. Only, that some application caused problems and windows is immediately halted to prevent system damage.
My HW config:
Intel P4 (2.4GHZ), MainBoard D865PERL, 512MB RAM
DVD LG 4167B,
TV Tuner WinFast TV2000XP expert
I think it can be caused either TV tuner driver or DVD LG. I had tried uninstall DVD-RAM driver and also reinstall VS.NET but without results.
heartfel thanks for any help.

Since Chris (probably) did not like my previous idea[^]
When,
A message that I posted is rated.
Article that I posted is rated.
ofcource the email notification will also contain who rated it!
So I have slight modification to that,
The member will be eligible for email notification only if he is a silver or gold member, this way CP will be sure that email notification is send only to regular CPian and so it will have less impact on the mail server.

Look, i understand the desire to know who gave you a rating. But turn it around - how many low votes would you be willing to give out, if the author of whatever you were rating would get a notification that you'd down-voted him. It's almost *asking* for revenge votes.
If you want to be polite, then leave comments on posts/articles telling the author why you think it needs improvement. But be careful about thinking there is a way to force others to be polite also - it won't happen, but it probably will skew the system in odd and unpredictable ways.

didnt think of that.
I was providing a solution for many questions posted here before about knowing who had rated what.

I think the rating system is a little um "over-rated".
A good article sticks out a mile, with or without a good rating. I'd much rather authors listened to the written feedback given rather than relying on the numbers system. How many of those 1s given are where somebody thought 1 was the top mark and 5 was the low mark?
Constructive written feedback is the only true way to help an author judge the quality of their work. The more written comments there are will also help readers to judge how good an article is.
We need to try and find a way to encourage discussion on the article rather than using a numbered voting system. After all, I don't do a code-review and give my work-mate a 1 or a 5, I tell him where he is wrong or what bits of code I like.

Just kind of came to my mind as a time saver...
Provide a button on the message preview window that allows you to post right after previewing.

The preview window opens up in a new window, so putting a button over there will not really save anytime.
You can click on post message button without dismissing the preview window and latter close the preview window at your own leasure time.
Plus think in this way,
Chris has to probably add more code to do that work which we can easily do and in the process make the CP slower than before.

For some time now I have noticed that this site seems to be exceptionaly slow at times. Take now for example Sunday afternoon (UK time) it is probably not very heavily loaded and yet clicking on any article will probably not result in it being loaded in under 15 minutes (thats right - minutes !). The page almost always comes through in the end but why the huge delay ?
The behaviour does not appear to be browser dependent - I have tried Opera 8.5, Firefox 1.05, IE7.
It also does not seem to be ISP specific as I have connected from a number of different ISPs with the same result.
Can this problem be sorted, because the site is practically unusable at the moment.

We have high load times (especially in the morning, US time, but 15 mins on a Sunday afternoon seems strange. Our scripts would have timed out long before 15 mins, so all I can suggest is there's a network issue somewhere between us and you. Try doing a tracert to www.codeproject.com and let me know what you see.

Not sure if this has been asked before. How about a knowledge base that has some really vanilla type explanations. For example "How to Connect to a database with ASP.NET, C#, VB.NET, or, how to consume a web service using ASP.NET, C# Windows App etc.

Why dont you create an article based on these basic questions, There are many of them related to VC++.

I almost missed this interesting article[^] because it was listed under C# cross-platform programming, and I filter articles to see only C++ ones.
Would it make sense to have a separate C++ cross-platform forum? Or at least pull the cross-platform programming out of C# section?
My programming blahblahblah blog. If you ever find anything useful here, please let me know to remove it.

the chat room should b classified in languages like vb,.net etc and user's should be classified in Questioner and Solvers or ineed help and helper
---this would be more helpfulland more over it should be a one on one chat!
|
|
|
|

Forums are better so that the question and solution are helpfull to others too.
Like me, i just read the posts and learn.
and remember, ppl who help others via CP forums are not getting paided to offer 1-2-1 help so they wont be online for you to help you on need basis and if they do on other messengers like yahoo, msn, etc, you have to be very polite in asking for their time to help you.

Hello guys,
I was wondering if it would not be better , that after modifying the post the yellow "new" icon appeared below it or the subject text would be changed for example , to smth like this "MFC question... [ modified ]",because I can never guess that somebody has modified the post until I view it.

I like the idea.
I try and modify the subject of the post manually, but I often forget.
