Trying to read these forums with a brightly-colored, animated ad at the left is like trying to read a book with someone flashing a light in your left eye. Good design principles (you'd never read a book that way) should never be trumped by greed.
Um. I guess you are being sarcastic because I've seen your ads here too.

If you'd been around for a while, you'd know that I hate advertising in all its forms - however some times it is a necessary evil. Places like CP cannot survive without it. A few ads here and there are the price we pay for having this wonderful free service.
Personally, I'd prefer to have the option of subscribing to the site and see pages without ads. $20 a month would be a small price to pay.

I think you'd struggle to get all 3 million to pay. (Personally, I think you'd find less than 1000 members who'd pay) The idea has been suggested before and not really taken off. CodeProject is as valuable to me as my MSDN subscription, so $20 a month seems a reasonable price to pay.

People tend to be cheap. They'll take a resource that gives them much benefit for granted until it's gone and it's too late.

How about a "parent link" on messages? Sometimes it's hard to find the parent of a reply, especially in large threads, spanning over several pages.

That's generally a good idea. However, some threads become huge. If threads become huge, the servers have to work harder per transaction, CPU-wise as well as network-wise. This could potentially render CP slow.

Speaking of eliminating a problem, when is your profile going to be deleted?

I'm starting to do development work targeting Vista, using XAML and other aspects of WPF. I'm sure I'm not alone, would be nice to have a forum resource for these new technology areas.

Is it possible to run a new category for those who want to place an article about a new idea?, or at least a board for people to suggest a new title for an article.
I'm not sure if patents and idea ownership,... can make problem?

Really
I should be more careful about what I write, and open my eyes then.

Either I missed it or no one else noticed it.
Thank you for removing email addresses being sent out when replying to someone. It made it too easy for some people to spam responders.
I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:

In the project: Applying Robustness Analysis on the Model–View–Controller (MVC) Architecture in ASP.NE, using UML, there is an error in the HTML which causes Word to use the Wingdings font for all the project after the sentence "I know you’ll love it." The HTML fragment in error is:
Isn’t it beautiful that all of this robustness analysis leads us to a design where we can define our first set of detailed class diagrams? I know you’ll love it. J
There should be a before the . IE is so forgiving that it ignors the error. Word on the other hand is not so nice. Other browsers may also have a problem.

It seems that some of countries, specified in My Settings page of this site, either are not saved to database, or are not displayed correctly after saving. Problem appears when the country name (more precisely -- the content of value attribute of <OPTION> element) contains a comma.
How to reproduce. Login to this site and go to My Settings page. In the Where do you live? dropdown list, select a country containing comma, like "Moldova, Republic of" or "Virgin Islands, British". Click Save. The result is unexpected: in the next confirmation dialog, the country is not what we just selected.
Environment: Windows XP, Internet Explorer 6.0 or Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.3.
