OK - no problem!

The format of the submitted articles is nice and pleasant but one thing I want to mention is that the text should be slightly pushed in (from both sides). The text is too close to the edges, which is little uncomfortable. The text should also be right justified on right side.
Good luck!

We are used to the ring syntax.
Coloring may improve on the visuality of
the published source codes and therefore
make the site better.
Congratulations!

Once content is up I will add some more scripts to colour the text.

I remember Codeguru had an option for a zipped site download. Could this feature be resurrected in CodeProject.

Hi,
As with codeguru, I tend to save articles and projects I like and review them when I have time. It would be nice to be able to download the entire page, graphics and included source and demos in just one link.
In the interim, for IE5 users I beleive, the SaveAs takes the TITLE from the page and uses that as the filename. Perhaps the name of the project could be used in the title tags ? This would save copying and pasting the project name as the saved filename for the page.
Yeah, I know.. I'am just lazy !!

Chris,
It would be outstanding for you to require ALL submissions to have a "Documentation" subdirectory within the project zipfile that contains the html article along with any images. You could even do it as part of the posting process (I know, even more work) 
This was a big pain for me at codeguru! I always had to save the article and all of the gifs and then rezip to have a nice reference project. The documentation should be an integral part of all projects. I know that I can't be alone in wanting this. It would be a most appreciated bonus to using your site too!
Congratulations, the site looks GREAT!

I think that's a great idea, and I'm glad you like the site

Is it possible w/ the software you are using to indicate the number of messages in a folder, or if there are new messages in a folder, so that we don't need to open them all to check?

I'm going over the entire forum at the moment, so hopefully "yes"

Hi Chris! Would it be to difficult to add user setting to the discussions? I always have to select the forum view I want. Also, could you add preview post and tags (like in the other site...)?
|
|

|
|
I'm looking into it now...

Hi Chris,
Glad to see the site is up. Looking forward to watching it grow.
I like the bulletin board section very much. Just wondering if there's anything you can do to help prevent spammers from getting addresses from it. I've had trouble in the past from that when posting to newsgroups or other bulletin boards.
Also, I'd love to see a section for links to other web sites that developers may want to recommend. It would be great to see links to tutorials, freeware/open source libraries, freeware programming tools, etc.
...And since you asked for suggestions, I have one more. It might be nice to have some kind of collaboration page for people trying to get programming projects started or keep them going. It would allow programmers to find out what projects are out there and who needs their help working on them.
Best of luck.

Hi Laura,
Thanks for your comments. I'll look into the issues about email harvesting.
I like your links idea - it's certainly something I myself want to implement, so I'm extending an invitation to you to start off by sending me some cool links 
As to a forum for discussing projects - well, that's as easy as adding a new folder!

Hi Chris,
The question I have is the following:
What safeguard is there to prevent this site from being sold for a tidy profit once it's thriving ? As we all know this has happened elsewhere and at the very least we should learn from experience.
Please do not view this as a personal attack or a questioning of your integrity, as it is not intended to be, and I do not doubt your integrity. However, time and circumstances do have a way of changing people's views.
I think many potential contributers may find themselves somewhat reluctant to contribute for fear of a similar fate for this site at some time in the future.

I think that everybody has learned from the mistakes of the past. My aim is to make this site THE best pace to hang out, exchange ideas, and learn cool new stuff. After wanting my own site for a long time there is no way I would ever hand it over to someone who did not care about the site and the community in the same way I do.
Maybe after a few more years of no weekends and nights I may want to move on to other things - but I will do my utmost to ensure that the site retains it basic raison d’etre - that of being dedicated to helping developers, not advertisers executives.

So how did this work out?
I guess you still don't get your email to a .pf[^] domain so I've
answered my own question.

Ah, to be so young and foolish.
No .PF domain. No yachts. Not even a second hand Ferrari, slightly scratched.
Just something that helps millions of developers each month that we're all very, very proud of.
I reckon it worked out well.
cheers

Well if that would ever happen, there will always be people starting up a new site like it has happened now, so nothing is lost in that case.

No your not!
Anyway, the last will be the first.
So...?
To Chris,
Congrats on this new site,
Let's hope It (will become || is) awesome,
and remains cool.
