In the article attributes (eg. for advanced search), Perl is a language but PHP is a "technology". They both seem like languages to me - am I missing something important here?

Well it's tricky. It's a framework in the same way ASP and ASP.NET is a framework, but it's also a language. For consistency I put PHP in the same list as ASP and ASP.NET instead of putting it in the Language box.

At the moment the following general information is shown for each article on the site:
Posted: Date
Updated: Date
Views: ##,###
Would it be possible to add a few other statistics similar to other websites such as: # of people who bookmarked article and # of people watching the article (through the 'My CodeProject' panel). It may add another level of quality statistics alongside of the current rating system.

That could be helpful. The author then can gauge the success of his/her article based on the views and downloads together.

bookmark stats are on the TODO, as are downloads.
downloads are proving tricky due to the amount of old data. We need to find a week to sit down, put all the logs together and run our parser

I have found goldmember[^]. The guy has been member for two months, he has only one crappy article, no posts and his status is gold. No wonder why this article[^] was approved.
Mostly, when you see programmers, they aren't doing anything. One of the attractive things about programmers is that you cannot tell whether or not they are working simply by looking at them. Very often they're sitting there seemingly drinking coffee and gossiping, or just staring into space. What the programmer is trying to do is get a handle on all the individual and unrelated ideas that are scampering around in his head. (Charles M Strauss)

Now the stats say 0 messages and 0 articles, and still gold

The post about helping Rex, can we move it to the lounge? Pesonally I think it's important enough.
Thanks.

Why not just start your own thread in the Lounge?

When you use the calendar icon to change a date on the Search page, and then select a month besides the current one, no day is selected. If you then click on something else, the data field is left blank.
My suggestion: when another month is selected, automatically select day 1, since that is probably what is intended.
|
|
|
|
|
This goes against what many calendar selectors do, which is allow you to browse back months or years without actually committing. If you decide not to go ahead then your original selection is unmodified.
However, our current calendar control bites and we're replacing it.

Please change the Relevancy/Date option in Search page to just Date. The way it works now, you might as well rename it Relevancy/Random, because the result list makes no sense from a date standpoint.
At least add a Date Only sort order, if you want to keep the current option.

This may be something you already have on your TODO list.
Here is an article[^] that got three 1 votes while waiting to be approved. The reason for the votes, as far as I can tell, had to do with formating errors made by the author. He/she made corrections and the article was approved. It looks much better, and I'd be willing to bet that the three voters might reconsider their votes if they were to see the article now.
So my suggestion is to reset the votes when an article gets approved or prohibit voting in the first place.

Hence the option for revoting by members.

I'd bet the chances that those members will revote are pretty small.

Actually, I'd suggest notifying the voters by email when an article is approved, is updated or what ever.
|
|
|
|

I was thinking of something similar, but that could lead to some users being completely overwhelmed with emails becuase they would receive notifications from all articles that they voted on. However, their could be the option of only sending emails if someone voted 1 or 2 for that article. Either way, I think the email may be more of hassle than anything else. Possibly a minor notification in 'My CodeProject' would be sufficient.

Of course Chris would aggregate them all in a single daily mail message.

Because I expect a human editor to reformat articles, I don't vote based on format, grammar, and spelling.
But editing won't fix problems with content, or the lack thereof, and I don't want to have to remember which artcles I want to vote on after posting.
Yes, I report many as substandard, but there are also many that aren't quite that bad.
Each user has his own standards.
I wouldn't mind a message asking me to review my vote.
On the other hand, if gold+ members' articles don't go through the approval process, they won't benefit from this.
I, personally, would like a kind of peer-review process, involving only gold+ members.
