I'd add lots of jazzy statistic UI - graphs, charts showing number of users per location, at various hours, points scored, questions answered, the works!
Some new heat-maps maybe?
At a low priority, maybe theme support?
I spend hours every day on CP and could do with a new skin once in a while.

Ok.
But can we have some more statistics, please?
It would be fun.

Seeing as you are fishing for UI ideas :
1. The ability to sort Q&A answers (especially Chronologically).
2. Having a personal "snippets" library. I have a pretty much standard response for people who haven't written a question sufficiently clearly to give and answer, or for people who have obviously not read or ignore the ask-a-question guidance. I type these by hand, but know others cut-and-paste from Word, being able to use these from the UI would be useful.
[edit]
Ignore point 1. Just seen the tab!

An usable mobile version. The current one is utterly unusable.

That's a strong word. I use the current Mobile version all the time for viewing articles and the lounge.
Specifics, Nish! You're a developer. You know what it's like trying to get users to provide you with something you can go on

Sorry Chris, the reason I did not go into the details was that I assumed it was low priority (the mobile version).
Here are my major peeves with the mobile version:
1) In the forums, if I tap and zoom to make the text large enough to read, the DIV or P or whatever container is used expands so that there is horizontal scrolling (and a lot of it too). This happens only in the forums, the article pages work correctly.
2) The mobile version of forums should expand all posts by default. It's very hard to expand a post right now because you have to tap/zoom, and then click on the post to expand it. And to do this for each post is tiring.
3) Any non-Lounge forum has a bug in the mobile version where if you click on a post to expand it, the post expands, and then the entire page refreshes. (does not happen in the Lounge, but happens in all other forums)
4) The drop-down top menus do not work on mobile devices (iPhone and WP 7). So in mobile mode, a different sort of menu-system may need to be used.
5) Bigger Next/Prev buttons would be nice so we don't have to tap and zoom.
There are the big ones, there may be other smaller ones I have encountered but I don't remember them all now.

I'd make it purple, with lots of spots of various sizes. Barring that, it would be nice to have a button which, when I click it before posting, guarantees that my post will be inserted, no matter how many others are in front of me in the queue.

I was just thining, posts about kernel dev end up in two forums, C, C++ and devices and HW.
Neither are really perfect for kernel stuff, C, C++ is nostly apps, and HW and Devices is mostly questions about issues with printers or disk drives.
So how about a dedicated kernel forum?
This isnt a bad idea really, the tradional NGs have almost died under a deluge of spam, and the usual posters there have disapeared. OSR was touted to have talen over, but I havent seen the kind of traffic there the old forums got, so perhaps having a dedicated kernel forum on CP would attract all the old posters to comp.kernel and microsoft.development.kernel?
==============================
Nothing to say.

Hi there,
Just wanted to let the amazing maintainers of the site know that for the past 2 daily newsletters, the "View Online" link has been incorrect. Both yesterday and today, the link in the email has been "http://www.codeproject.com/script/Mailouts/View.aspx?mlid=0".
Cheers!

Our apologies for that. We're (slowly, painfully) moving to a new newsletter sending system that is flexible, insanely fast, easy to use, makes us a cup of coffee in the morning but can't yet provide an online viewable version.
We're hoping that in the next week or so we'll have that piece of the puzzle done.

If I go to edit the comment of the OP and I highlight their comment to copy it (to paste it into the original question) and I press Ctrl +C it goes to debug mode in Chrome.
I repeated this 3 times with the same results.
However, if I right click and copy, it works as expected.
Thanks.
[edit]
Crazy thing is NOW I can't replicate. check it[^]

So have I. Can you replicate this?
I think it may be new...not sure.

Please remove e.g. from tag. This is not correct tag name
|
|
|
|
|
What tag? Is there a tag called "e.g."? If so, it's a Latin term "exempli gratia" that means "for the sake of example", or more commonly "for example".
|
|
|
|
|
Yes there is listitem as "e.g." in tag which we have specified during submitting the question.
As this is not a proper tag my suggestion is to remove that
