1) When you click on the advanced search link why hide the advanced search options behind a Show Advanced Search link? That seems like something Vista would do. 
2) On the advanced search panel can you add a button to auto-expand the Language, Platform, Technology, Audience lists to reduce the amount of scrolling required when reading the available options?
3) I think the majority of the web refers to "Message Boards" as "Forums" now. On this[^] page you now call them discussion boards

1. Because it was a request, and because 99% of our users just want a sinmple search.
2. Not sure what you mean. If we auto-expand won't that mean more scrolling? Me == confused.
3. Does using 'Message Boards' confuse people or make it unclear what we have?

I'm reading up on ASP.NET & MVP and stumbled upon a blog entry which references an article here on CP. However, the article has apparently been moved and the link now results in a page not found. It would be helpful if the bottom of the page not found contained search results based on the url. The offending link is:
http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/ModelViewPresenter.asp
The next thing I did was to search for the page name (ModelViewPresenter) and got zero results yet the article still contains the same page name just at a different location.
So the next thing I did was paste the author's name (McCafferty) into search and it gave me 10+ articles that mention his name but none of his own articles.
I finally had to type in model view presenter to get the results I wanted.

I see many articles are listed twice in the RSS. Currently deleted articles are also showing in feeds It would be good if deleted articles are removed from RSS.

HAve added a bug report. Thanks for pointing this out.

Hi Navaneeth, I haven't noticed any articles being listed twice in the article RSS feed. Let us know if you come across this problem again or if you have more info on it.
But it is possible for deleted articles to appear in the feed. The reason this happens is that our feed is cached for 20 min. So if an article was cached but then got deleted within this time span you could get redirected to a non-existent article.

It's changing my HTML, even though I marked the check box that says I know what I'm doing.
And the last article I posted STILL isn't showing up anywhere except my profile.

Can you send me a sample (email me) what you'd like to post (and what it's changing - this will save me time).
Sorry about this John. Clearly I've broken something when I reworked the article permission system to allow you to allow others to edit your article (and can you guess what this feature willbe useful for?)

On my latest article (the one that doesn't show up), I have a gray box centered on the page. I included "text-align:left;" to the style tag for the div, and it keeps getting removed. This makes all of the text centered in the box.

No worries. The site is comprised of thousands of lines of code, and I know how hard it is to test everything in a source base this large. The difference between CodeProject and other sites is that you guys jump right on the stuff that's broken, and pretty much cater to our every whim. 
I'm actually a little puzzled about the "who can edit" thing (and if I remember correctly, "Platinum members" isn't in the list ).

I took that to mean "Bronze and above", "Silver and above", etc.

This is correct. I need to update the wording and add some explanation to the FAQ.
I also left out Platinum on purpose. There are too few and I don't want new authors specifying Platinum members and then hassling them when their articles aren't immediately edited and tidied up.

Speaking of Platinum, when are you going to add the new Plutonium level?

After Kryptonite level. Soon.

I'm not sure that letting site users actually edit other people's articles is such a good idea. Given the nature of the (now) bulk of the user base, I see lots of abuse being perpetrated in the future.

Somwhere along the way, the old CSS style for the <h3> tag got changed.

It used to make the text black/bold, but now it's the same as <h2>.
I need to apologize - I complained about a lot of stuff and didn't give enough info.

Yu might be thinking of H4. H3 has always been orange.

I just posted an article "Getting Started in F# - A Windows Forms Application" and noted that there is no F# section. It looks like the article went to Forth.NET by mistake. Perhaps someone can put it in the right place and maybe add an F# section.
Also, on the submission page, I noted that there was no selection as to Skill Level, even though it's listed as item 2 under the instructions. If that's needed, the Skill Level for the article is Beginner (or equivalent).

I've added the F# sub-section. Thanks for pointing this out!
(As soon as we have enough articles we'll create a full F# section)
