Yep, I second that.

Given the "popularity" (I hate cryptic crosswords) of Dave's Cryptic Crossword clues, you ought to buy him a copy of this[^] and get him to do a cryptic crossword for the weekly news.
We also need logic puzzles, suduko, lateral thinking problems and other fun stuff to provide a diversion.

This[^] articles shows a "Modify" link on top and I can continue editing it even though I am not the author of that article.

That's a new feature. When submitting an article you can choose who can edit your article: Bronze, silver, Gold, Editor or Admin

Ohh Thanks. Thats a cool feature

If an article is updated within a week of its last update, the "Updated" field in the article's header is not changed. This could be a problem if a reader goes by the header for the last update date, since many articles do not include detailed update history.
[update: I think this problem also affects the author's article page.]

This is by deaign. It stops people updating their article every day in order to have their article hog the homepage. We don't (currently) store enough historical information to easily have the system show the correct latest update but only show on the homepage the first update that happened in the last week.

I'm not talking about the homepage. I'm talking about the article's header on the article page.

All the info comes from the same source so it's the same problem.

The combined C++/.NET top-level filter is far too wide - it encompassess too many articles. Someone working in C/C++/MFC doesn't want to wade through C#/.NET articles (and vice-versa).
I'm not suggesting that codeproject.com be split into mfc.codeproject.com and csharp.codeproject.com. However, having the top-level filters correspond to the physical structure of the website impedes the search process and reduces CP's utility (imho).
Please consider splitting the C++/.NET filter into C,C++,Win32,MFC and .NET. Of course, the exact names you choose may differ.
Thanks,

What do you think of the current arrangement now?

Thanks, this definitely helps.
If I may make one more request: it would help if the default attribute filter used by the advanced article search is seeded by the viewer's current top level mode (MFC/C++, .NET, etc). IOW, if I'm focusing on .NET, I shouldn't have to uncheck the C and C++ boxes in the attribute filter's "Language" list. Thanks!

Chris,
When you have absolutely noting better to do would you please add another category to answer classification?
There seems to be plenty of "I am a guru, who are you posting this question?" type participants who cannot help themselves to chastise the poster ( or postee??) with comments like - ever heard of Google? ... is that your course assignment?? … it took me 5 minutes to find it in…....
Something like "and the preacher said" category?

take it with a grain of salt.
1- posts in the Soapbox should not count in the post count.
2- topics should have an expiration date ( 1, 2 days max)
3- There should be a post-flood timer (30 secs, and increasing in time : 30 sec, 40sec, 50sec, ... )
4- There should be a Soapbox-free day once in a while (to let people cool-down)

I prefer to let the Soapbox be what the Soapbox is. It's deliberately the septic tank of the site and you know what happens when a septic tank is blocked up and unusable...

Yeah, septic tank is a nice Maunderian euphemism for the actual word the original quoter (Shog9) used

The soapbox is appears to be the third biggest board?

Better yet. If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
