I think the dire need of the hour is to combat the following menace which growing like anything currently.
1) Cross Posts
2) Multiple Posts
A few of the old CPians take the pain of replying it with a message "Cross Post (Ignore)" for the benefit of other CPians to other save other CPians falling prey to these tricksters. I just thought if there could be some option where geographically distributed moderators can make a 'Lock Post'/'Disable Post'. Once the post is locked/disabled, it can only gather votes to die out or save itself in case of wrong categorization.

I second that.
Once flagged as a cross/multiple post, it should be impossible to reply any more,
or to modify the post. Voting and delete-by-owner should be the only remaining options.
There is no need to reward the cross/multiposter with a link to his original post...

What about those that genuinely post a Question in the C# forum only to be advised it would be better answered in the ASP.NET or SQL forums?
A genuine mistake and this locking makes them look bad.

OK, so give the owner a button to move the entire thread to the appropriate forum?
Maybe a better alternative: provide a "new link" button next to the "new message" button,
so a poster can post once, and can add a link in a second forum if he really feels the need.
A link would:
- not accept any text or replies where the link is
- when clicked, navigate to the original post
Anything, as long as it saves us from all these "wrong forum", "multiple post",
"cross-post but answering anyway" replies scattered all over the place.

I don't know if it's wise to make cross-posting so easy. :P
I can imagine this being seriously abused. I think the "move thread" option is much a much safer idea.

Of course the "new link" button would flag the cross-post as such, allowing everyone
to ignore it right away if they choose. I know I would.

Hi guys,
Since there are many articles about WPF, WCF, and few WF, now I think CodeProject forum really needs new categories about WPF, WCF and WF.
Also I think these technologies won't fit into Vista category, since they are specific to .NET 3.0 and 3.5.
Any suggestions are welcome!
Best regards,
Eriawan K.

Thanks.
Is it possible to have a feed (RSS) for each section? What I love to do is that I wanna feed some sections (e.g. Web development, ASP.NET, C#, Lounge and etc) in my iGoogle..
Thanks and Regards,

Hi
Does any one know Why we cant attach a file with our messages? is it possible or not?
Thanks

Because that would start taking up the bandwidth and storage space of CP.
And there's people out there that would abuse this sort of thing. Besides, there's free file hosts, like stashbox and some other places.

How about an auto spell check on all my posts to replace 'teh' with 'the' as I am tired of having to modify nearly every post I make as I find yet another 'teh' in there.

Or at least like Windows Live, it must indicate the erring words with little underlines, the right click of which can display suggestions. A little AJAX is that required for the implementation of the same.

Yesterday is a canceled check. Tomorrow is a promissory note. Today is the ready cash. USE IT.

You could just be a little more careful to type the, instead of teh.
And anyway, the CP members can be your spell check
