No matter how many times you vote for your article, you only get one score for it. Why should you not be allowed to say that you think your article is good? Surely you wouldn't post something that you thought was worth less than a 5.

Exactly! Everyone thinks there article should be 5ed. But this is not necessarily the case. And a loose article getting 5ed by it's author makes the rating bad.
Off the topic: I could not rate any article I read. The stars doesn't get activated. Is this because I'm new?

Hi,
I'm a technical blog author, I'd like to have an email notification when my articles are available in CodeProject, in order to format the article and/or upload the source code to the article.
I had recently bad votes just because source code was not available for download, if I had a notification when the article was immediately available this would not have happened.
BTW, I'm having a lot of problems trying to upload the source code (timeouts). Yesterday it took my almost 1 hour to upload a zip file with less than 1MB 
Best regards,
Rui

Seems like this article is:
0. Hardly an article.
1. Just direct calls to a library that is not his (most of the files in the source code are library files).
Audio Capture using port Audio[^]
Does this count as plagiarism? Probably not, but it's hardly an article, there's no substance in the code or the writing.

There are a few options;
1) Vote and rate the article, leave feedback to help the author develop
2) Don't vote, but leave feedback to help the author develop
3) Report
If you suspect that there is plagiarism, then Report and post a message to site bugs with a link to the original that you think is being pagiarised.
In this instance, the author released 4 articles on the same day, all loosly based around the same subject, and none of them really up to the mark. http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/MemberArticles.aspx?amid=46507[^]
In this case, I have left feedback in each of them, and also suggested he consolidate them into 1 article and flesh it out with discussion and code snippets.
Hopefully, nature will take its course and either the hamsters will intervene, or the voting masses/comments will get the message across.

Could be added as a Tip/Trick with a "fair title" like: "A Note on using the 'XXX' library facilities for Audio Capture" ?

I have tried a couple of times to re-sign up to receive them, but I do not seem to get them any longer. They do not appear to be caught by the company SPAM filter either. Is there something I can do to get them delivered?
I know I can go to the Insider furum, but that is so much less convenient  than getting them delivered to me. 
Thanks!
Don

We've been thrown onto an extortion blacklist we're still trying to get ourselves off. Could be your company is simply blocking rather than moving to a spam directory.
Are you still not getting the emails?

Chris,
I am not gettign them yet. Then again my company does use blacklist filters provided by third parties, so that is probably the issue.
Thanks!

THere used to be a lot of traffic on the usual groups that has died and IMO there is a big hole here that can be filled by CP.
Want to increase membership?
Then create a group for drivers and get people on to CP.
I guess you will probably ignore this post like you did the last one, it is your loss though.
==============================
Nothing to say.

Not even a please.
The Hardware and Devices[^] forum should cover what you need, at least until the level of posts reaches a point where a dedicated forum is justified.

Why should I say 'please'? I am offering the benefit of 12 years of experience in the kernel in a dedicated forum to CodeProject users. You should be saying 'please' to me.
Hardware and devices is soo uch about buying hardware, not about programming in the kernel.
The C / C++ forum picks up most driver questions, though in fact it doesnt fit there well either, hence suggesting a seperate one.
You might get traffic, there used to be a lot on the groups, if they find out that CP is offering a dedicated forum.

Nothing to say.

If you look on the home page, in the "Articles needing approval" section, you'll see an article with just a single dash as the title. The link points to here[^], but if you click it the page never loads (on IE8 anyway).

Is the server running on the time zone indicated?

You had the "Are you currently in Daylight Saving Time?" checkbox checked. I've unchecked it.

Oh thanks. Can't the server find out the "Daylight Saving Time" automatically?

Daylight Saving time is a state-by-state and year-by-year thing and we simply don't have accurate data at hand to keep track of it based on members' locations. We can do some client-side stuff, though, so I'll add a note to do some magic and auto-update members' timezones based on that.

In the bottom of the forums, we have a page navigater which looks like this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Next >>
Could we just have that in the top of the forum too? It's a small pain to scroll to the bottom of the page to go to the next page. Especially when you're working on your mini laptop.

There are First Prev Next links at the top, just above the first message on the right.

Yes I saw them... since we already have used that space it would be great to have the pages too. Not a big issue though
