CP has over a decade of server logs to trawl. Almost all updates include historical back to the founding (or at least to the start of the current user account system).

Cool. CPAM is already ready to start scraping this data if you use the assumed label of "Downloads" on the user's My Articles page.

Just got an email and evidently the drugs he's on are areeing with him rather too well.
It could be a while.
And then we'll have the cold-turkey shakes to deal with.

Were you planning on displaying the number of downloads on both the member's article list page and on the article page?

Hello!
I've been a user of codeproject ever since it was founded and am very happy with the resources this site offers.
Pleasantries aside, I have a problem with receiving the daily news (the Insider). I've had a yahoo account setup as my default email address for my code project accnt and have recently changed that email to a gmail account. Even I though I am still subscribed to the Insider I don't receive any emails from codeproject, neither in the inbox, nor in the spam folder.
Pls help.
Thanks,
Piotr

Your email had not been confirmed and you should have seen a notice bar at the top of some of the forums. I've resent a confirmation request - click the link and we'll know you're a real person and the daily will once again grace your inbox.

Alright, I'm glad that you've re-labled that, and it makes sense, BUT, more needs to be done:
0) The button still reads "Submit Answer" - it should read "Submit Solution".
1) Once submitted, it is labeled "Answer n" (where "n" is the answer number) - it should read "Solution n".
2) We get 10 rep points for posting a solution to our own question. While I don't mind at all (grin), is that what you intended?
3) When we post a solution posted, shouldn't it also be automatically marked as accepted?
4) When you go back to edit your "solution", the button reads "Update Answer" - it should read "Update Solution".

That would mean, someone could post a question, post the solution and get the 10 points for the solution and the 25 points for the answer. Not saying that's a bad thing, but is that what you want to see?

The points aren't the point. I'm looking for the proper visual representation of the status of the answer/solution.
Now that you mention it, I think we should get points for posting our solution (5 points maybe), and while the solution should be marked as accepted, I don't think we should get points for a solution being marked as accepted (unless it's a nominal award, say, 5 points).
I also think that once answered (or its solution posted), a question cannot be deleted (by the OP) UNLESS the answers have been deleted first.

The MSDN forums let you post an answer (solution) to your own question and you can even mark it as answer. But you don't get points for answering in your own thread (or marking it as answer). That would work here too (to prevent abuse, if that's a worry).

Anybody can mark their answer as the answer, and I hate that. The MS people ALWAYS do that, even if the answer they provided wasn't applicable or didn't work.

Only mods and Microsoft staff. The mod guidelines are to propose an answer and if the OP does not respond within 3 days, then to mark it as answer.
Also if the OP does not respond to follow-up questions, after a period the thread is locked and closed (again a good thing). I think this prevents it from coming up in google/bing searches.

So they could post "I had eggs for breakfast"" as an answer, and if I don't respond, it would be marked as the answer?

Well, if they were asking for more info, then they will just lock the thread and close it. If they gave you what they think is a reasonable answer and you don't get back, then yeah, they will mark it as answer.

If the question was "Why is my code so scrambled?", then yes.
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

I've hit these many times in a google search, they do tend to be fairly low in the results though.

Ok,
I've had a look thru a couple of pages of bugs n sugs and haven't seen this here. I also realize it's very minor and will likely be very low on priorities.
When I click the link to the 'Recent Reputation Points' page from the rep graph, there's no way to navigate back to the rep graph. The browser back button brings me to my profile, or i can click my name at the top right to get back to my profile. Either way requires an extra click to get back to the rep graph.
Again, I know this is extremely minor, but it feels like a navigational oddity to me.

That's because it is a tab in a page, not a separate page, and it defaults to the profile page.

I'm not a web developer, but surely it's possible to navigate to a specific tab on a web page?
