Better yet, provide an option to not search sigs.
I've searched for sig material more than once.

True. I second it. A good significant amount of space on the indexing catalog would be saved by it.

Not exactly a valid consideration when architecting a site. Storage is cheap.

Opera is clearly the best browser out there from many different perspectives, last time I tried it though CP was one of the only sites that had substantial problems with Opera.
If you're rebuilding anyway how about throwing a bone to Opera? It's free, it's technically superior, undisputably faster etc etc. All those good things that serious programmers have come to appreciate.
I also recommend that you ban the firefox browser due to the adblock feature which is no doubt costing CodeProject significant advertising revenue, or perhaps charge a subscription to FireFox users.

Cool, I look forward to trying Opera with CP.

Wow! You know that it will cause a civil war in CP don't you?

All I know is if they are blocking ads then they are freeloaders and should be given the boot or the opportunity to pay a subscription.

I suppose you also scold little kids for changing the channel during commercials.

Yes, I subconsciously change channels or go for a snack or a glass of water or to the bathroom. I still end up watching a good many commercials of course.
And I think it's the same with CP. I doubt if advertisers pay a lot of money (if any at all) to Codeproject for ad-views. They probably pay a lot more per click or if a sale is made through a CP ad click. So if there are people who are never going to buy anything through a CP banner ad, it won't be a loss to Chris and Dave if they block all ads. In fact if enough people do it, it may save them some hosting bandwidth (which can be expensive).

It was half tongue in cheek, but obviously if Chris can't sell advertising there is no CodeProject.

Now FireFox users should ask for a ban on Opera. As Opera violates Internet standards by creating 4 connections to the web server instead of recommended 2. Opera users should compensate for the bandwidth they are eating up.;)

This could go on forever, but I'm sure if I thought about it I could make a good argument for banning all but Opera.

both FF and IE consume more physical memory and appear to hammer the CPU harder when doing rendering. As a result opera can display a webpage using less power. IE and FF should be banned as being bad for the environment.

At this rate Chris will have to ban all browsers and we'd all be staring at the raw HTML.

Not really. We have the good old simple Lynx browser to the rescue. You can check out Lynx page here http://lynx.browser.org/[^], which now seems to have a Windows Port too.

Uhh, read my post again. I said we'd be looking at HTML if Chris were to ban all browsers, of which Lynx is one.
Besides, there is such a thing as over-analyzing a joke.
