There is the SmallText style. Is that enough? Or would you prefer a specific Caption style?

Hi Chris,
Which do you suggest to keep in spirit with the Code Project look and feel?

If it makes sense to have a specific caption style then I'll add it. If you use SmallText instead then it saves me a whole 5 minutes

I vote to make Chris work for it.

There is now a "Caption" class in the style sheet.

Neither is Mobile development.

the newsletter says:
"It is also article voting time so please visit the homepage for the voting pages and give those authors who helped you last month a little pat on the back."
This sounds like a nice idea. Too bad I can't locate this "homepage for the voting pages" place, so I can't visit it. Oh well.

Go to the homepage (http://www.codeproject.com[^]) and you will see, right near the top, a list of links to click on to vote for the articles.

sorry. I still don't see it. Could it be because I use Firefox?
At the top of the page I see The Code Project logo at left, a banner ad at right. Immediately below that I see:
Home MFC/C++ C# ASP.NET .NET VB.NET All Topics
...on the left side, and:
Help! Articles Message Boards StoreFront Lounge
...on the right side. Nowhere do I see "Vote" or "Voting"...
I can't use search to find the voting page because it's not an Author or an Article.
There are no options in the Articles dropdown that are obvious choices, either -- I see:
Latest; Most Popular (could that be it? didn't see it at that page); Search (couldn't find it there); Site Directory (nor there); ...
I can't find any reference to voting for favorites, although I see "most popular"... does that just mean "highest average rating"? most page views?
I just wanted to "pat on the back" 2 authors who helped me. It may be really easy, but not for me, unless it's just based on the "rate this article" (which I did).
If I ever get the answer I s'pose I'm bound to feel stupid, but obviously I'm used to that by now

Read down a bit further. Below "Welcome to The Code Project", below "Join CodeProject Today", you'll see: Current Surveys. Click on any of the links in that box...

It could be because you have the observational skills of a two-slice toaster.
Seriously, it really is kinda hard to see - it's Labeled "Current Surveys" (which is NOT the best naming they could have come up with), and it's right above the "Feature Article" block (which is somehow easier to see - go figure).

After reporting a post as spam or abuse, I think we should be still able to give it a rating (usually to vote 1 for spam or stupid messages like this[^]). We aren't able to vote for a post which we've reported as spam/abuse.

Why vote for it? This will just give the spammer what they want. The "report" button is there to notify the moderators of problem posts, which should in turn lead to the post being removed (not that this happens often).

Generally people opt to vote 1 (I tell this because when we see such spam posts, there are tens of 1 votes, graying down the post) and they don't mark it as spam because they aren't able to do it together. So my suggestion would be that marking a post as spam or abuse must be isolated from giving it a rating.

A lesser vote should decrease or gray out the post and hence spams would eventutally subsede from the view.

Were you trying to tell subside? My concern is that even if I vote a spam message a 1, I still would like to report to an admin about the same by clicking on the "report spam" link, which we are not able to do now. Getting it now?

Reporting a post automatically gives it a 1 vote too.

I highly appreciate your site and regularly experiment code from the articles. A question arises: why don't you suggest a specific rule to document code so it can be much easy to understand and reuse? It should be nice if a doc (chm?) were associated to every revised article code.
