Is this so?
So that means a person with Gold status can publish a article without having to be approved?
Meaning if I where to write an article (in a couple months after I'm gold) that is my first article it become's public without having to be approved?

Heum, the angel in me now says get to writing that article so at the very least your first one is moderated.
The devil says wait till you hit gold 
Who to listen to???

Even a 'Gold' one will be nuked if it's crap. Going through moderation just means it gets nuked without public humiliation!
I'm sure yours will be fine - you've been here 3 1/2 years so you should know what you're doing, so what are you waiting for... get writing - NOW!

The pre-approval votes and messages get deleted when/if the article gets approved. Personally, I don't like that.
There's a lot not to like about the whole process.

I was checking the latest articles web slice (around 20:30 GMT) and found that there was an article by me in it. The web slice showed an article named Linq To Object query by Eslam Afifi. I didn't write any articles at all but I did reply to a message with the same name[^] in the LINQ forum. It's also the most recent post I made before this one. I refreshed the web slice but it was still showing the article. When I clicked the link in the web slice it redirected to the page unavailable error page. The same behavior confirmed by a friend in a different location who has just subscribed to the web slice just to confirm the bug. Before posting this (around 21:00 GMT), I checked the web slice again and it doesn't show the article anymore. I also uploaded a screenshot of it here[^].

Does it take into account geographical location? It says
Congratulations.Based on your profile, 218 of our employer partners have expressed an interest in hearing more about you.
Is this the number of employers who have actually expressed an interest in the CPian, or is it CP that's been doing the matching?
Because the 5 offers in the email were all US-based, and I checked the listings for the first time and there aren't any in India.
BTW, USD 300 is about Rs. 15,000, and
1. I'm sure HRs/recruiters are not looking at CP
2. The techies who might post about an opening are not likely to earn that much as a referral benefit, so it would be a net loss to them
So, just a suggestion, you might want to lower your rates, although there are too many variables involved. For example, lowering India prices would likely invite howls of protest, and lowering prices across the board might severely eat into your margins, etc.
Cheers,
Vikram. (Cracked not one CCC, but two!)

This[^] is an unedited article so it will probably be picked up when edited, but all the messages are appearing in bold - looks like he hasn't closed a tag (better than earlier when the whole article was bold!)

Everything from the licence section downwards is showing as bold for me including all it's forum messages.

I think bold tag can be allowed but the editor should autoclose every open tag when document ends. It is nice to have feature.

Hi,
I found no answer if the FAQ, so here's one question:
I'd like to keep informed of the new ASP.Net articles.
RSS would be perfect for that.
Is there currently any way getting a RSS feed of ASP.Net articles only?
Regards,
Fred

Go on the ASP.NET page http://www.codeproject.com/?cat=4, and the subscribe to the 10 last updates (at the bottom of the page).

Thanks a lot
One suggestion : add a page with a listing of all feeds?

I have seen one somewhere, but can't seem to find it for the moment.
The stuff[^] page has some summaries about feed.

Why? If I'm on pageLast and want to see the first part of an older thread I want to stay on pageOldLast instead of going back to 1.

Because when you change the date filter you also change the number of items that will be returned and hence the paging. It's very difficult to try and position you where you were because "where you were" may no longer exist in your new list.

Going from page 5 of 5 to page 5 of 12 (even if the messages on old page 5 ended up spread across new pages 5-7) seems obvious to me. Going from page 4 of 5 to page 3 of 3 (shorter range) also seems fairly intuitive.

But what if you're on page 5 of 12, you reset the options and there are now 7 pages? We could keep you at page 5 but the results could very well bare no relation to what you were viewing.

I still think it's less confusing than going back to page 1.

I've disabled the checkbox for getting notification when someone answers one of my message in the forums, but it does not seem to work (I still get the notifications).
It looks like the setting is not recordedm despite of my hitting the save my settings button.

As far as I understand it, the one in my settings is used to preset the one in your reply box.
So for new messages you shouldn't get it anymore, for old one's (before you changed it) you still will.
I think

Your profile setting is currently only used to preset the values when you are creating a post - it's not retroactive on previous posts.

Two issues actually:
1. It does not work for new posts either.
2. Although I unchecked the checkbox in "my settings", it keeps showing up as checked.
