Bugs and Suggestions

How about putting all the ads on a separate page so we can see them when we want to, and not have them cluttering the screen the rest of the time. Trying to read these forums with a brightly-colored, animated ad at the left is like trying to read a book with someone flashing a light in your left eye. Good design principles (you'd never read a book that way) should never be trumped by greed.

But back to the point. Would you allow someone to flash a lamp at your side while you were trying to read? I think not. So why should we - as a society of technology "users" - accept animated advertisments on our screens, our televisions, etc?

Me too. But with 3,000,000 members, it shouldn't take $20 a month. A buck a year from each user would probably be sufficient. I know I could maintain a site like this if I had $3 million a year to work with, and I know I'd pay a buck a year not to have to look at the ads.

hat does that say about them? Or about the service? Or about the way the CodeProject people are always bragging about the number of "double-opt-in" members. If those members won't pay a buck a year to subscribe, what does their "membership" really mean?

It's better when problems are fixed without adding anything, and especially when they can be solved by deleting something.
