0) The drop-down calendar controls start at 2006. Why doesn't it start at 1999 (or 2000)? I have to manually type in the date to get results.
1) It seems to me that the search function should handle absences of required data. If no text is specified in the "search for" field, it should return all messages within the specified date range. If no date has been specified, it should default to the most recent 30 day span.
2) Since a user must be specified, I think it would be better to have the field displayed under the search text field, but above the dates.
3) A search that potentially returns a lot of results usually ends with an error message claiming the search timed out - this happens almost immediately after clicking the Search button. Instead of presenting an error, why don't you just limit search results to the 100 most recent items and add a note at the top of the returned results reminding the user to refine his dates/search text, or forum selection.
4) There is no help on the search page about how to manually type in the date. I dropped the date control down and selected the 1st of the current month to see how you wanted it.
5) Provide a method to return more results (in case the max of 100 was reached and there are more that could be returned).
I had another thing, but my wife started talking and I had to devote 100% of my attention to the discussion, and I subsequently forgot what I was going to say here.

0) The calendar control is being replaced
1) Added to TODO
2) I'll think about it.
3) We need to fix that bug. But if a search has no matches then it should return no results, not an essentially random set of results. Regardless of how many big notices we put stating "These results are just to give you something to look at and have nothing to do with your search request" we'll get lots of "your search returns results that have nothing to do with me search terms" emails
4) Interesting. I'll fix.
5) Not sure what you mean. It returns as many results as are there.

5) If the search takes too long (presumably because there are a lot of results), the user gets n error saying the search timed out.

It seems that if HTML code is pasted into the text editor, all of the < and > are converted to text representations. Is this something that could be fixed? IE7.

There's an option at the bottom of the screen called "Auto-encode HTML when pasting?". Uncheck it if you want to leave your < and > alone.

Any chance of adding a "My Bookmarks" option to the Search dropdown?
I'm at 10 pages and counting and I'm sure people have way more than me. It'd be nice to filter the search down to something I know I have bookmarked, but that doesn't always come up in a standard search.

I posted an article on Sunday, however I can only go to the article by entering the URL.
I can't find it by searching.
I can't find it under Database - ADO.NET (It's category)
My Profile still says I have zero submitted articles.
This is the first time I'm submitting an article. I'm I missing something?
Thanks,
Sunny

The article you posted is in the "composing" status, which means, you are still working on it.
In your profile you see number of articles, that are publicly available.
The fact, that you do not see your article in yor own list of articles is a bug  , and will be fixed after next release (hopefully tonight).
Sorry for the inconvinience.
Sincerely,
Elina

How do I change the status to "published" status?
Is it the "Mark this article as updated" checkbox?
Thanks,
Sunny

Sunny,
The only way currently to do that, is by email to our editors.
This would be changed soon, sorry fo inconvinience again.

Shows your article as updated. This is not related to publishing status.
Your article became "composing" when you were in the Submission wizard, step 3.
There is a checkbox, saying "Work in Progress - do not make public".
You left that checkbox checked, and this left your article is in the composing status.
Sincerely,
Elina

Hi Sunny,
Your article's status is now "pending" meaning it is being reviewed by Code Project users prior to submission.

Hello,
From my observation number of times a specific article has been bookmarked is more than number of votes it has. I suggest that when someone bookmarks an article, there is a prompt asking if the user would like to vote for the article. The reason for this is to increase number of people that vote for an article. People usually don't vote for an article because they are just lazy or forget about it. On the other hand, when someone bookmarks an article it means that he/she is interested in it. So codeproject can encourage someone to vote for an article.
What do you think?

I'm of two minds about this.
1. Yes, excellent idea since if you bookmark it, you probably like it
2. No, because often people bookmark before they read and we specifically have the voting buttons at the bottom of the article to ensure members have at least scanned the article before voting.

I lean slightly to (2). If I want to vote, I will. I'm tired enough of all the damn questions that Vista asks, I don't want more.

In that case prompt can say something like this: "You have just bookmarked an article. Would you like to read and vote for the article?"
