Hi Chris,
Just wondering if on the latest comments page, some distiction could be added to indicate whether the comment is associated with an article or a post to a forum. I know that you merged all this stuff together, but it would be nice in viewing this listing to be able to know which comments are article related and which comments are forum related. I also know that the 'Title' is listed under the subject of the comment, but trying to remember all of the forum titles is a bit tuff for this old bean ( suffer from old timer's disease ).
Thanks, Chris

I've done a quick and dirty that will have to do for the moment. Maybe different colours for different types of forums will be better.
Erik Funkenbusch sent in a huge wishlist which mirrored a wholoe bunch of things I'd like to add, but it's aall got to be juggled at the moment with the upgrade and the article backlog.
cheers,
Chris Maunder

Dif'rent colors. Sounds  .
And I ain't even gone color blind yet.
Thanks Chris.

Actually Chris, your current addition of the text is just great for me. I especially like how it 'pops' up a new browser window for the comment you click, instead of using the current browser window. I'm sure others will complain, cause I'm not noted for having the most mainstream of opinions, but heck at least I got my vote in first  .
Thanks for all your efforts, Chris.

First off,,
Before you think I'm whining,
thecodeproject.com is great !
Next,
The trend is slowly for developer sites to take over from subscription services as 1. Virtually everyone's on line, and 2. Its a more cost efficient business model.
The introduction of C Sharp offers new opportunities for minor developer sites to increase there market share, it also permits experimentation of some Kick A_se wild solutions.
What I'd like to see,
A 3rd party knowledge base of C Sharp Q/A, FAQ, etc
An intelligent Natural lingo Search System Indexed to the FAQ, Q/A articles etc
eg Joe types/asks
"How do I use Templates"
A. Change to C++
or
"How do I make a C# control"
A. Your first C# control By Troy Marchand
2 often
Much two often in C++ have the same questions be asked and then answered by living beings. And then the answers have been lost in the myradical byte madness,
But now
It is possible to almost restart the process,
Possible an Idea where a user enters a question, when the question isn't answered satisfactorily it is posted to a Discussion Forumn.
My 2 cents

Do you have a plan Chris ?
I see something in between full blown articles and discussion board answers, as a valuable resource.
( articles and answers are also great !)
Some sites have gone in for rated answers .
I guess , I'm thinking more along the lines of a
---> edited ---> keyword indexed ----> re-edited ----> Published.
Thus a Q and A that has been processed out of Discussion Board Post's.
I'm just musing here.
My reason for wanting this imaginary resource is purely alturistic, eg I'd love to be able to use it when I need to learn C sharp.

Lemme think on it. There are a ton of options here...

I just noticed that if someone emails me in response to a post, and they aren't logged in, the return address is webmaster@codeproject.com.
That's definitely anonymous, but twice recently someone has asked me questions via email, but since the mail was sent anonymously, I have no way to respond.
A warning is needed so folks don't mistakenly send emails anonymously.

Hey Mike,
Can you hassle me about this over the weekend? I've updated the email-out system a fair bit this week but it does need some more work. I (hopefully) get my new toy tomorrow so it will be long hours in front of setup screens for the next day or so.
cheers,

It might be my setup, but the pretty little navi buttons only seem to work on the home page, not on any other pages...

Are you using Netscape? If so, then you have a first hand demonstration of why Netscape 6 was so anticipated
I've been able to reproduce the problem but for the life of me can't explain why it doesn't work on other pages. Frankly Netscape 4.X is so painful to workaround and so full of strange bugs that I've stopped bothering with things like that.
cheers,

Don't you just hate it when you have to support CRAP (Could Really Ascend you to going Postal).

It would be nice if we could set the "New since" time. I often access CodeProject from multiple computers, and it would be nice to be able to reset the time so I'm not looking at posts i've already read on a different machine.
Also, it would be better to track "new since" by user when logged in rather than IP.

Could you modify the forum/comments scripts so you can set a default password in your account settings? Like you've done with the username and password.
It is only a small thing, but it would save some time (as I always use the same password for ease of remembering).
You could maybe include an option to turn it off (the default one) and use a random one for people who don't care/worried about security.

The current search is an "or", instead of the expected "and" (which everyone else and their brothers default to). A "power search" with some expression (regex? altavista +/-?) would be worthwhile, too.

I'd like to see a forum for web designers. It could include, ASP/DHTML, JavaScript, HTML etc. How about it Chris?

Done!

Thanks Chris, you'e the bomb!
I've told people in my class and they are already visiting your site

Hi Chris!
I was using your site today and thought that it would be great if in the 'user profile' box on the homepage if you could have a 'My Articles' link which would automatically search for all articles by a particular person.
cheers,
Andrew.

Done (sort of)

I just typed in a post that included references to the SHITEMID struct, and the first half of the word got bleeped by the censor!
