I would like to request the ability to assign an icon to each bookmark along with the ability to sort bookmarks by icon.
Everyone will want to tag their bookmarks differently. To keep it simple for CodeProject, icons can be stars of different colors. Each user will choose what each color means. One user might use yellow stars for "I tried this and it worked well" while another user might use yellow stars for "Looks good, but I need to learn (whatever) first" and another user might use yellow stars for "this would help me on my class project". One nybble would provide for 15 colors with 0 reserved for no star given (default). Since it would all be self-assigned, CodeProject would not have to decide upon useful labels or take requests for new ones.
Of course, stars will need ALT tags to accommodate users with limited or no color vision.

Specifically, I would like 'Has Homepage Defined' and 'Has Biography Defined', as all of the 'Hidden Spammers' have both of those. These two filters would help in finding these goons and getting rid of them.
Any thoughts?

They're currently not aligned, as in this picture: http://imgur.com/QMvhkD6[^] (magnified and red vertical line added for clarity)

The html doesn't look like they're intended to really be aligned in the first place, but this misalignment somehow bothers me.

+1: at zoom 100% it is barely visible but zooming in or out moves the checkbox alternatively left an right in a zig zag pattern! Also it isn't also horizontally aligned with the previous one.

It uses for alignment - how quaint!

Every so often I do something with the markdown specifically to see if anyone's watching.
Thank you.

First of all I think it's great that articles are divided into sections, and can be tagged, so people find what they're looking for faster.
Second, I think the system as it's currently implemented is great when sections are clearly defined, and tags are fairly static.
But, and I'm just thinking 'out loud' here...
In an ever changing landscape of technical solutions I think the current system is a bit limiting.
For example there's nothing about functional programming anywhere. Not in the sections and I can't find a tag for it either (unless I'm not looking good enough).
I have a post about PHP, but in the sections, under "Languages", there is no PHP to be found. Instead I have to look under "Web Development". That's not very clear, as I can do web development in C#, but that one's under "Languages". Having sections for languages may not be the best approach at all, since there's literally tons of them.
There's a ton of sections for Windows languages, frameworks and platforms, but one, maybe two, for Apple.
Why should C# and Windows get different treatments than Swift and Apple? It sends a message to programmers of the latter...
I realize that people don't write a lot about, let's say Scala or Clojure, on CodeProject, but if they do they're going to have lots of fun getting it in the 'correct' section with the 'correct' tags. And chances are their articles won't be read because they're not in the 'popular sections'. And maybe that's the reason we don't have many such articles?
And then there's a load of sections and tags that nobody uses.
The current list of sections and tags could be updated, but they'll probably be outdated next week.
Isn't it time for a more flexible system for sections and tags?
I'm thinking of a system where anyone can just type anything (kind of like WordPress, and probably other CMSs as well.).
It should be possible to look for articles based on (multi-word) tags and on sections. And perhaps we could have a fancy tag cloud with the most popular tags of last week, last month and all-time.
I believe editors are already editing sections and tags, so misspelled tags or sections can be edited.
I'm hoping for a system where a programmer of any platform can publish and have their article read.
Of course if I'm the only one interested in such articles and taxonomy I'll shut up now

Yes, the taxonomy is limited by design, and added new Chapters/Sections/Subsections is done after careful consideration.
That being said, Tags that are applied to articles are not limited to the official taxonomy and form what is generally termed as a folksonomy. This can be leverage on the Search Page[^]. You can filter on document types, rating, date ranges, authors, fields to search, ... You can even filter on the Chapter, Section or Subsection of the official taxonomy.
For example, searching for php returns 1001 articles at this time.
Also, if you find yourself searching for the same thing repeatedly, you can save your query for quick searching. For example, I have a search query saved for Chris' Forum posts, just in case he has promised something that is going to result in extra work for me

Oh wow, never noticed the saved query, that's awesome 
Thanks for the clarification.

Using an @ inside a fenced code-block generated an encoded link to a member profile in the posted message, but not in the preview:
<a href="http://www.codeproject.com/Members/id">@ID</a>
The same thing inside a <pre> block works as expected:
@ID

You may format the signature using HTML:
<div style="font-size:small">Super</div>
I have just done it for my sig and it is small.
|
|
|
|

Well It work with font size. but has different fonts..
Any idea why this change happened?
cheers,

It may be sourced by the new markdown formatting (I have it disabled) or some other site changing.
To check this you can try to disable markdown (below the edit window when posting).

|

Hm, maybe markdown formatting kicking in?

Another very simple solution, remove <h2> tag from your name in sign.

Don't know if this has been "discovered" before but I just found out that it seems to work ok if you uncheck "Use Markdown formatting" (and then of course use Markup).

A few days ago I posted this answer[^], and the code block had to contain two backslashes. Because of the Markdown support, I had to escape them (so I had to type 4 backslashes to make 2 appear). But today I visited that answer again, and I saw that 4 backslashes appeared. So I edited the answer to un-escape them (typing 2 backslashes instead of 4), and after the edit, one backslash appeared, instead of two.
Is it a bug that the backslashes didn't escape once?
