Cool! Err...I mean, oops. Looks like it's showing the ALT text instead of the image. Ctrl+F5? maybe?

I've never used this forum before (I normally hang out in the C# forum), so forgive me if this suggestion doesn't belong here...
I suggest CodeProject have an XNA discussion forum (Microsoft's newly released gaming framework/IDE).
I'm going to try to start immersing myself in XNA programming, and I think it would be cool if CP had an XNA-specific discussion forum.
Thanks for listening!

I would be content if we could just get more forums for general categories: Multimedia (for Audio/Video, and 2D & 3D Graphics), Design, UI and Usability, etc.

This is not so much a suggestion as a query. For the last few months I have been having nothing but trouble when browsing CP, I am always having to refresh the page due to a failed load. I realise this problem is unique to me since I live in China, but I was wondering if there is a second server I might try?

Its not unique to you, with the number of users at peak times there are often failures. Just refresh and be patient

Not unique to you, some days you just need to be patient with the site. It’s worth the wait.
I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:

I think the great Chinese firewall has a lot to do with this problem. There are hundreds of sites blocked and most others censored. They even have the nerve to check our emails. There is an ongoing fuss with Microsoft and China about this, China wants the right to view our hotmail account, but microsoft are refusing, so every other week hotmail becomes blocked.
Honesty, I have a 4mb connection behaving like 28k (no joke). The only think I am able to browse with no problem are Chinese sites. And just about all of those have embeded viruses, malicious scripts and damned annoying Banners following the mouse around.
I'm now looking for a fast, reliable proxy server which might help me bypass most of this hassle.

I really must check my email more often.
Thanks for the link. I'm using the server now and it seems a little faster (not much) but it may be due to the time being 6am here. I'll give it a try for a few days and see if there are any improvments.
On a side note, every connection outside of China has a speed restriction. Everything from simple email to torrent downloads. I just can't find a way to beat it  (

Couldn't be interesting to give a "prize" for the best and the most stupid post on each forum on a monthly/yearly basis?

With the number of stupid posts, how would you wade through it all to pick the most stupid?

Stupid proposals attract stupid solutions.
I don't know?
- roll dices
- maybe people wish to candidate to this "prizes".
Or let BIG STUPID to choose
Note: BIG STUPID = the computer

This is something I've been wondering about for awhile. Apologies if it already exists somewhere on the site and I've missed it.
Occasionally, I get contacted privately by people who have read my articles and are using my code. Sometimes I don't mind helping these people out (privately). But more and more I would rather they use my articles' message board to post their questions. The main reason being that my answers can help others with the same problem. If I answer them privately, my answer only benefits them. Also, it would hopefully mean that I would only have to answer a question once on the message board. Others with the same problem could find the answer there.
I've gotten into the practise of redirecting these private queries to my articles' message boards, but was wondering if Code Project could provide a guide some where that would suggest the best way to approach authors in order to get their questions answered (such as posting the questions to the message boards).

Are people going to read such a guide any more than the "How to get answers to your questions" thread or the Lounge rules?

Interesting question.
Has there been an improvement in the forums where those stickies have been posted? I only check the C# one sporadically.

Perhaps the home page could feature last edited articles separately to unedited articles? Since the edited articles are generally of higher standard, and they should get more exposure rather than quickly disapearing off the list due to new unedited articles. Just an idea...

I believe it was like that a few years ago.

Is there a limit to the # of bookmarks you can make in this site? If there is, please indicate so on the FAQ page.
And do bookmarks of articles that have been moved (or deleted) get automatically updated or will they become dead links or just disappear? Might be good to mention this in the FAQ page too.

There's no limit and the bookmarks will always point to the correct location.
