Would it be possible in the programming forums to add a search box and button for comments in that forum that open up into a new window? So many times, the same questions are asked over and over again. It gets very tiresome.
It wouldn't even have to be large. Perhaps a little blurb about looking first then a simple intput type="text" with a button next to it would be great.

Just adding the forums to the search options would be nice. Much of what I find valuable here is not in the articles, but in the programming forums or general discussions in the Lounge and Soapbox areas.

Any chance of adding some more graphs to the demographics section:
1. Number of users with a given level
Platinum users: 3
Gold users : 150
Silver users : 25000
Bronze users : 500000
Not rated: 300000
2. Number of articles submitted by authors
1 - 4 articles : 3000
5 - 8 articles : 2000
9 - 12 articles : 20
13-16 articles : 8
17 - 20 articles : 3
21 - 24 articles : 2
25+ articles : 4
3. Users joining per month:
Show how many new users joined the CP community every month
There are probably meny other types of charts you could accomplish, e.g. new articles per month, updates per month

Hello,
I've been visting CP for quite a while now and i've lost the dynamic view on all thread in all boards. The FAQ says that:
I'm running IE or Netscape 6 but I don't see all these options in the 'View' dropdown. Why?
Sometimes add-ins such as WebWasher or other web page cleaners change the user-agent string for your browser. This string identifies which type of browser you are running, and if the scripts don't detect IE or Netscape then the extra options won't be available.
I have IE 6 and haven't installed any add-ins (atleast not without my knowledge). Infact the site: http://www.esperance-linux.co.uk/misc/UserAgent.html reports my user-agent string to be Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; Avant Browser [avantbrowser.com]; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)
Any ideas why i've lost the dynamic view? Is it related to member status now?
Thanks in advance,
Jignesh

....for errors/bugs ecountered in CP. That way, we don't have to air them out in the Lounge for everyone to see. Plus, we can always check with this forum to see if the bug encountered is new or if there's any way to deal with it.
Just a thought.

You mean CP isn't 100% reliable?
(He says, after getting HTTP 500 errors all Sunday )
Maybe just rename "Suggestions" to "Suggestions/Site Issues"?

When an error occurs there is a line in the error page saying "The webmaster has been informed". It's true.

Dont ya think that a better formal static page of codeproject with the error message should have been shown.

I never understood the meaning of the RSS button until yesterday reading an technical article on a Linux magazine talking about RSS readers.
I've try one freeware reader on the web, and now I'm really enthusiast about the thing.
Here my suggestion:
near the [RSS] button – or on the left column menu - a small link to a "how to" or “what is this?” page explaining the meaning and the way to use it, with the list of all the RSS links that Codeproject offers (I mean the category list) and a list of the useful articles posted in Codeproject about the argument (like this[^] for sample or simply an auto search list).
Another point is to change the RSS gif button with a “text” write link – or add a RSS in the menu column on the left - this to allow the “search” in the web page or by an external search engine.
Now my “next step” will be to bother some of the web sites I normally visit to make them add their own RSS...

Because that RSS button is pretty much de facto button and practically everybody these days knows what it is. Why waste precious page real estate for something so commonly known? I realize you're new to RSS, but RSS has been around for a LONG time (for a while, under the guise of RDF). CodeProject is pretty much doing it how everyone else is doing it. It's not meant to be painfully obvious. Many site don't even use an image, so be glad that CodeProject does!

So sure? Lately I'm teaching this RSS thing to a lot of webmasters (to implement) and "common" users (to use)...
It's not so unfrequent that people watch me as I come from Mars!
Anyway sorry, I didn't like this sentence - seems quite a separation from dummies and gods.

Yes, true, I've notice it on CP, but apart from CP I never got more about it. I don’t "waste" my time navigating in blogs (or almost nobody have discover me yet ). So for me the first opportunity to try, was given by a LINUX newspaper magazine (got only to understand some more about Lx because in that area I’m less than a beginner).
Heath Stewart wrote:

I agree that a "change" can be a bad thing, but I was proposing 2 options: the second was to add a text RSS link some were in the left menu - it's useful for search engines to catalogue and to free search a text in a web page with the "search" option of the browser (Ctrl+F).
For sample when I develop some web sites, the buttons are always iconic graphics - I always prefer to put text link on the pages (or I put them both in the same page) - this is only a personal choice - thats why I like CP more than others (that abuse of Flash or Graphics).
... and you're luck that CP is so slow lately that I took 20 minutes to open the reply page to answer to your post, so I have time to calm down and get angry for other reasons...
To end, I think that first of all, CP is a technical developer web site with a clear teaching mission and haves to work for different levels of knowledge, beginners (what for) intermediate (how to) and advanced (what else). Never discourage a beginner.
CP is free to get the suggestion or not... better to ignore sometimes, thanks for the lesson.

Nor do I, except for some blogs used by programmers (like Chris Sells et. al.). RSS is used for way more than just blogs and has been around before blogging became popular. Slashdot uses it, as well as many open-source community-driven web sites. The Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) recently started using it to display the new headlines for various different sections. They use the same image as Chris does on CodeProject.
The point about the real estate involved is that RSS is an alternative view to a web site. The primary page is supposed to be what it is - relevent text, images, and banner ads (if necessary). On most pages, the RSS image sticks out because of its color. On CodeProject, however, the color is about the same as the orange throughout the site (which I like, Chris).
Yes, you are free to suggest but I'm also free to voice my opinion. Look at the other threads for suggestions to the site. Most include discussions. And I really don't care if you're angry or not. Open forums like this are filled with opinions and most times peoples' opinions don't agree. If you get mad about something someone wrote, you should probably stay indoors and offline: this world is full of opinions and critisism.

Ok, ok, 2 deaf - keep your opinion, you won.
So lets resume, please take the following with irony:
1. RSS is the most popular alternative to view a web and only dummies don't know about it and don't deserve to understand some more (thank you for the statistical report of the RSS usage in the full world).
2. RSS bitmapped buttons are perfect (don't understand why you insist in this point, in my second post I was hoping to be more clear about it... was the "Chris" name called really necessary? Right Jesus?).

Your previous post didn’t sound to me like something that gives space to a discussion; anyway I made my try to keep it open – I was the one who open the thread, right?
Why:
Heath Stewart wrote (2 posts above):

You put a "fact" affirmation in what should be an "opinion" without material to give me reference to grow in that direction - the "waste" was inappropriate - anyway I’ll gain some more knowlege and money on that "waste" working with more skilled people (on ASP/PHP).
The point: searching in the web, I find more "how to make an RSS" than "what for" and "how to use RSS"; no RSS dictionaries and for the most common web sites I look at, don’t have RSS a bitmapped button (or RSS reference as well - makes no difference).
The first time I click on the CP/RSS button, a XML text come out - my conclusions that time where: "good, if someone wants to add CP news in their web site, this is useful", but I didn’t know about the existence of RSS readers - sorry If I’m "dummy".
Let me share this experience: sometimes CP members contact me directly with private messages or emails because they don't feel to post a question or a suggestion in CP message boards - this because the "experts" ones will post things that are called "opinions", but at the end are not and make discrimination.
These attitudes push people "indoors" and "offline", and sorry if I insist, people never deserves to be pushed away.
People are free to say what they want (word freedom - but sometimes "moderators" kill their voice anyway). I didn’t kill your voice, and I was free to let you know my opinion, right?
You are an editor? You help people to grow posting correct and useful articles, no? So please try to understand my point of view. In the past I’ve encourage you to post an article because I believe it was useful. If I didn’t have that opinion, I wont "waste" my time inviting you to write it.
Probably all this is caused only by a banal misunderstanding - and sorry if the thing come from my part.
For sure we are both 2 intelligent persons, but I'll never accept destructive "criticism", you have to convince me that your opinion is the most correct, not play on mine.
You are right, you won... I'll stay "indoor" and "offline", enjoy
