Sub domains are fairly easy to implement, most servers these days have nice GUI interface to do so. It would just be a nice touch, they are used a lot all over the web.

When people read an article or read a message on a forum they generally have two options:
1. They can vote for the article or message.
2. They can post a message to the article or as a reply to the message they read.
I propose we merge these two options.
The page where people enter messages should have an extra drop down where people can optionally enter a vote for the article or the message they're replying to. If all they want to do is vote, they can do so by leaving the Text portion of the message blank, unless they enter a vote of 1 or 2. In that case, they'll be required to enter a message, where they will (hopefully) explain the reason for the low vote. This will allow us to see who voted low for articles or messages and why. And it will allow us to reply to those people.
Another benefit of this feature is that a low voter could change his/her vote by modifying or deleting the message.

Alvaro

Yes, and the message will most likely be a garbage post. If people wanted to say why an article was poor or a forum post was crap, then they will post a message anyway - without being "forced" to.
I don't see the point of identifying low score voters. It would only lead to ill-feeling and tit-for-tat low voting. That's just human nature.

If the message is a garbage post, fine. Then we'll know it's a garbage vote -- probably some troll. But if the troll cares a little about being identified, he may think twice before giving negative votes for no good reason.

The point is not so much to identify them as it is to discourage them. Negative voting should be given to truly negative posts or articles and the person receiving it deserves to know who and why -- at least I think so.
If that leads to childish tit-for-tat crap, fine. Hey, it's human nature.

I would rather have a different messaging system for votes and a Vote History. That is, when you place a vote it has a text field to enter a comment about the vote. Anything of say a 1 or 2 would require a reason. Where you normally have a vote button in posts, you could have a History button also. When clicked it will list all the votes placed and the comments people made. It would however, not show "who" voted, only the amount voted and the remark.
This would also show exactly what ratings a post received instead of trying to figure out from the total what people have voted.
Additionally, this will not clog up the message threads with tons of junk postings.

I haven't got a email notification of a reply to a post in a few weeks now. I just went back and checked and missed dozens of replies.
Is this a non-feature now to conserve bandwidth or is it broken or...??

Nope Still works.
When you post is the "Notify me by e-mail if someone answers this message" checked and is your email correct.
If so, don't know how to help you.

The CP newsletter goes out tens of thousands of people, and unfortunately due to the HTML nature of the mail, some mail clients mark it as spam and anti-spam lists like the ones spamcop maintains adds CP smtp to their black list occasionally. So if your mail server uses any such black-list, once in a while the CP smtp would be in that list and you wouldn't receive any mails from CP, including the newsletter and message notifications. What you could do is to add CP smtp to an always-allowed list.

That's what I thought at first, but it's hit and miss, about 1 in ten times that I post a message I will be notified of replies over the course of the last few months.
Someone replied to a post of mine yesterday, no notification, the day before I got several.
I think it's a problem at the CP end.

I have noticed some problems also which did not appear to be related to the newsletter. It has drop a few, but the nature of email can also account for some, then you add the newsletter event and IPs getting blacklisted by spamcop (hit me for several days of no replies) and ....
Would be nice to have a feature that you can simply click "Recent Replies" or maybe for a date range and it will list all the replies. Then, even if you do not receive a notification, it would be easy to find the replies.

Here's an idea.
At the top of each forum are three links "FIRST PREV NEXT LAST" allowing you to navigate throught the forums. What if say between Prev and next there was a box into which you could enter the exact page number you would like to hop to.
Well what do you think?

I do not know if this has been suggested before or not, but please bear with me if this is the umpteenth time you've seen this proposal.
I would like to see a code snippet database. A snippet would be a chunk of code (1 to 100 lines or so), which demonstrates the usage of a function(s) or class(s). Such a snippet should be indexed on keyword such as function and/or class name, and on concepts such as I/O, process management, thread management, etc (predefined concepts of course). The database should also be wiki-like, meaning that anyone can augment or correct an entry.
What do you think?

As far as the code snippet goes, you can post useful small code snippets are HintsAndTips.com. That is what it is there for along with about any other topic beyond computers

hi,
I don't know whether it is possible or not. But still i feel the i need to post this.
In codeproject i have couple of friends (supporters). I got these friend through codeproject only.
My question is We need to give a provission for achiving communication between these site friends.
(Especially Techinical communication not personal).
Eg. I want to know whether supporter 'A' is avilable or not.
Suggection : If codeproject editor's would have give a notification on supporters profile that whether they are online or not.

Is it possible to include a Report it link under the Toolbox section which will allow users to send notification to administrators of advertisement articles or testing articles like this[^] and this[^].

I use the Broken Links link to notify of these kind of abuses of CodeProject. Maybe that link could be renamed to provide a more generic use.

Hello!
I don't know when you introduced this, but I've just noticed those "Broken links?" link top left of each article...
Well, and I have to tell you, I don't like them that much there. Somehow it gives me the feeling that something is wrong with the article... It's not separated from the article somehow, on the first look you think it's part of the article content.
It's not that I have anything against that link itself (I like the idea!), I just don't like it THERE.
My suggestion: move it down, into the colored box with the "[Top]" link and the rating cast section. Right of the [Top] link, a [Broken link?] link would be very fine! 
_outp(0x64, 0xAD);
and
__asm mov al, 0xAD __asm out 0x64, al
do the same... but what do they do??

On the CP homepage, the text in the left hand column in Firefox is displayed slightly indented. This causes some of the text to wrap and look not so good. A minor flaw in an otherwise great site.
