At the top of each article is a rating based upon the voting for an article. Another nice metric would be how many users have bookmarked the article too. Additionally you could also have a page that lists articles by this metric.
Although maybe other people don't use bookmarks like I do.

The CP forums are one of the best I've come accross, but I do have a couple of comments:
- would be great if there was a shortcut key to open the next post
- clicking a post moves it to the top of the screen. Having the page jump around like that is irritating. Would be great to have an option to turn that off.
- Sometimes in a thread with many posts you can't easily see who a certain post is replying to.

Go to the homepage, and at the bottom left you'll find a link to the newsletter archives.

dear chris
thanks for reply,what i was saying that click some button and it save newsletter content in some fileformat like doc pdf etc but i just realize tht format of archive is good,simple ctrl+c and ctrl+v would be enuff .
however there would be demant of others users too to go beyong MS products and cover other languages too,i wish it could happen on CP cos the quality of stuff available here,i didnt find anywhere else plus differen forums,simply awesome.
how about introducing python?its supported by MS.net too now?

Is it possible to show old articles (links) on homepage without updating them? Otherwise there is no chance for these articles to reappear. Just like in NewsPaper websites old news reappears. i think you get me.

i've a good idea "I think"
why you don't make the old message on this board be news (by moving it to the top of the messages board) when some one reply to the question or something like that...

It will bury new questions and the OP will get an email to say they have a reply anyway - assuming they've turned on that feature.

the problem is ....when you OP get the reply email...he should go back to the posted message on the board....
so....
what if the message posted more than three days...
so, he sould go back and jump from first page of the datagrid (the message board) by clicking next to find his message (considering there's multiple replys and he want to reply to someone)

Each reply email contains the url of the reply, one click takes you to the reply and one more click gets you simple access to the entire thread.
Or am I misunderstanding your point?

The link in the email takes you directly to the message posted. It opens the correct page on the message board and opens the correct message for you. One click does it all - What more do you want?

the question of knowing who votes for a post, giving feedback to the owner of the post has been asked to much time, this is not my request here (even if i wish it could be done).
my question is : what can we do when some one make a big effort to kill me over the site.
i explain. since the 3 days i'm back at CP, i've be voting about 9 times to '1', all of these were anonymous of course.
so i told myself : maybe someone don't like me, or don't like my answers (but that weird as they're not to the same recipient), or also that someone couldn't used to the fact that i'm been nominated in the most helpful people of the year 2005...
for all these points, i certainly will never know, and never be able to do anything against it, but i hope the policies can change consequently, and the ones who did this can be alerted too.
thank you

It's curious that your votes have all been for replies on the VC++ forum! But don't worry to much about that Tox, we know you are a good community guy and that you help out a lot. That's why you are a Code Project MVP

I agree with Nish. You help out quite a bit, and I nod my head quite a bit when I read your answers. Just ignore the dorks that do the dasterdly deeds. You're better than they, anyway.

I wouldn't let the voting bother you too much,
In the programming forum there are four kinds of voters,
* The ones who vote you a high mark for giving a correct or useful answer
* The ones who vote you down for giving a useless or incorrect answer
* The people who vote answers down because they were looking for easy answers to questions they couldn't be arsed thinking about and when you challenge them to think by asking for more information or providing an indirect answer that upsets them.
* Trolls who like to give low votes to high-profile members because it makes them feel good to belittle valued members of the community.
Your recent (and much deserved) placement in the helpful people hall of fame, probably upset one of the tiny minds and are post-stalking you.

Never before saw the term "post-stalking." I like it.
