I belive that there is a link at msdn.microsoft.com to codeproject as CP has tiedup with them...
plus CP is mostly centers around VC++ developers. VB is i guess slowly been phased out... (Thats what i think coz one guys VB article was not accepted)
Well, perl i really dont know much what it can do and what not... so no comments on perl itself. but i dont think chris is going to consider that.
There are so many hot technologies around that can be also included, but since this site is all bout VC++,there is little chance for Perl forum.

My dear Mr.Prakash!
Since you don't know about Perl and guess you also have not a very good idea about codeproject. As U exclaim this to be VC++ centric website. I do appreciate your love for VC++ and CP, but just drum it into your mind that compnaies do use Perl for it's Windows device drivers. So if this site is promoted by MS, it should include Perl forum also.
And one more tip to U Win32+Perl = you are king of system programming.
cheers!

CP is VC++ centric wheather you like it or not and you will hear the same thing from most of the ppl here.

how many companies 1,2 or do they use DDK for Developing Device Drivers. I am not aware of DD being developed using Perl.

Then i would suggest forums for DDK, DirectX, ODBC, OpenGL, MFC, Win32SDK, GDI/GDI+, etc,etc.

I waiting for the reply, by the way just got in support
"how many companies 1,2 or do they use DDK for Developing Device Drivers. I am not aware of DD being developed using Perl."
I am not the right person to judge your awareness, but when you think about product development (which include search engines), perl,python and PHP is inevitable. But since microsoft support Perl, hence I suggested.
"Then i would suggest forums for DDK, DirectX, ODBC, OpenGL, MFC, Win32SDK, GDI/GDI+, etc,etc."
Ofcourse, you are welcome to give your suggestions a separate thread will be a better option. As at this depth, ur suggstion may not bubble out to the top.
cheers

Well i didnt make a "Suggestion" for the forums, i know those forums are not required, existing forums well statisfy the requirements for Visual C++.

One day there will be forum of Perl here as this is CodeProject not VC++CodeProject, and we both will charish it.
God and dog both are made of three words. What matters is percpective.

When somebody clicks on What's New [^]link, a page is dynamically generated on the fly, containing all the articles during specified period of time. Now my suggestion is to give the user the option of generating the output result in XML format. Think of it as a complete RSS file. I don't think that it's a hard work to do, while generating the XML file is more easier than HTML files. I hope it dosn't seem a stupid suggestion!

First, great job on the blog feature, Chris.
A few problems, though. The RSS channel title should probably include our handles instead of a generic title. That might also be good to add to the description element as well.
Any plans on supporting other mods for RSS (like track back, etc.)? I mean, what is there now is definitely something I've been hoping for because of these[^] reasons, but I'm just curious.

Certainly a great job, but I don't like the topic view. And it doesn't even allows to change it in the profile page.

This would facilitate more discussion on how to improve the site.

Nah! the comments here are more specific to Codeproject and generally those ppl who are members of CP for a long time post here. So no point showing this to newcomers on the front page.
Generally the newcommers would come here with a question, so if they see one of their question on the question time, They would follow the thread.

Okay, I agree. My suggestion is withdrawn. Only the people who really care about and know the site come over here, and that's probably best.

I suggest the following as possibilities:
1) No voting on articles allowed until at least the achievement of bronze status
- Hopefully, this will reduce the incentive for people to create bullshit accounts
2) No inclusion of anonymous comments/questions in the "Question Time" sidebar
- Hopefully, this will reduce the incentive for people to post bullshit comments on their own articles
3) No anonymous posts allowed as the root of anything
4) No voting for the same article twice from the same IP address

I don't agree with that one, it would unfairly exclude people asking for help in the topical forums. Maybe choose not to show article-messages in the question time instead?

What's the harm in requiring someone to log in to ask a question? If you forced people to take an extra minute to register, it would cut down on the quantity of garbage questions as well, don't you think?

For you, or me, it wouldn't pose any problem, but with so many sites requiring you to log in to access mediocre information a lot of people are very cautious about signing up with new web sites until they've had a chance to experience it. CodeProject would be preventing a large number of new visitors from using the site and hopefully becoming members.

I would say that the site could stand to be a little more selective. Some of the articles and comments posted lately don't seem to be very well received. I'm also pretty sure that a fair percentage of the million members are really David Stephen Rule in disguise. I think that a site of this size is similar to a company, in that its strategies should change as it grows; it should no longer be focused on getting page hits at any cost, since it's so well known. I first came to CP because a colleague recommended it.

I would agree with this one, except that votes are weighted already so surely the pre-bronze account doesn't carry a lot of weight once others start voting for something. Of course, if something only gets one vote then it doesn't matter the weighting of the voter.

I can see where you are coming from on this. But lots of people don't like the idea of signing up for things. It might put people off the site.
Jeff Varszegi wrote:

I'd go with this one, but it does preclude #2 by default. So maybe, no anonymous initial posts in the Lounge, Soapbox & people's article forums might be better. [Actually - I think you must be signed in to post in the Lounge already]
Jeff Varszegi wrote:

Again, I can see where you are coming from on this, but what about companies where the external IP address will look the same no matter what internal address is used. And what about people who have Remote Desktop Connections, or can route through VPNs - they can be the same person but appear otherwise because they can route the request round different networks.
