Chris,
There have been plenty of complaints over the days/months/years regarding the 500 errors seen here on CP. I am not going to pretend like I know what causes these errors, but I am going to assume that better servers might/would help with this. I'm thinking if you can get everyone (or just some) CPians to donate $1 to you, you would have plenty of money to purchase what you need (this based off the current user base of 2million).
I think everyone can afford $1 and a stamp ...
Just a thought.

A CP Supporter status purchase[^] is a good way to give something back to the community. Slightly more expensive than your $1 suggestion but a small price to pay for a professional resource that makes my programming life better and easier.

I've attempted to talk my company into purchasing from CP before, but to no avail; and I, myself, cannot afford any of this ... plus, I have a company laptop on which I have developer studio, so no real need. Although I admit, if I were in a position to do as much (e.g., single with no kids), I would have no excuse and would gladly purchase everything ... if for no other reason than to have the cool icon next to my name.
I'm already asking for a Bob coffee mug for Christmas this year; as if my wife isn't already trying to figure out why she married me ... now I'm asking her for a coffee cup with an alien on it.

We've ordered new hardware and we're hoping it will be here soon. I'd rather not go the route of donations because, to be honest, it would create more problems than it would solve.

I'm praying that you are just waiting for ASP.Net 2.0 to go live to drop a shiny new well performing site on the servers.

If it makes you feel any better know that every spare second I have (plus many seconds that should have been spent elsewhere) have been spent working on the 2.0 version.

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!!!

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.
