Good one. But Video hosting needs to be taken in after considering a lot of factors like. Significant points may include:
(*) Copyrighted content
(*) Bandwidth usage

I suppose anything with a copyright wouldn't be put up anyway unless it was accompanied by express permission. Would it fall in the editors lap to check for copyright infringement? Or better - leave it to the users to report copyrighted material. I stand under correction but it would still follow the same kind of "submission model" used for articles.
Agreed, bandwidth width & storage for video content is significantly greater than that of text articles. Perhaps a size limit could be imposed on uploads? This may lead to some really low res, iccy submissions which wouldn't be cool.
Whack in a few extra big harddrives maybe? Stick them in miscellaneious Gmail accounts? Over 2871.9755xxxx mb & counting 
I think I'm going to call my next project "Chuck Norris". It's a sure way to guarantee it's unbreakable.

Rather than email attachments in GMail drive, I would say Google Video or YouTube would be a better deal to strike.

Is this a bug report or a suggestion?

This text is to indicate an example in the javascript. Isn't it?

When you view an article published in CodeProject and want to see the profile of the author, you click on his name beneath the Article caption. But this is navigating to the list of articles published by him and again, I have to scroll down in the page to view his Online Profile.
The specified link itself can be made to hyperlink to his Online Profile. Isn't it?

But then, a direct link to UserProfile page can also be facilitated. Isn't it? That would enhance the user experience greatly.

Can we have an XNA category added? I am planning on submitting some XNA articles. They would apply to both C#, Windows and XBox-360.
If there is one already (and I am just missing it) let me know!
Thanks,
Bob Bradley

While I agree that articles specific to the XBox-360 platform might come under hardware, I think that XNA still deserves its own category. XNA is a set of software tools that make developing games and multimedia applications a lot easier. XNA is build on top of the .NET 2.0 Framework, but it includes its own environment and additional libraries. Currently only C# is officialy supported by XNA, but technically any .NET language should be able to work under it. The neat part is that programs written to XNA can be compiled to run under both Windows and XBox-360.

In 'Suggestions and Bug Reports' problems, since it encompasses both suggestions and bug reports, along with the routine links, I think there should be some way the user should be able to indicate the following:
1) User-Friendliness
2) Cosmetic
3) ShowStopper
4) Casual Bug
5) Irritant Bug
1) and 2) applies for Suggestions
3), 4) and 5) applies for Bugs.

More clutter for a very debatable improvement. No.

And interestingly, I found my original message in 'Suggestions' forum voted low (4 votes). It was just my opinion/feedback anyway.

You're asking a lot of users who can't even post in the correct forum...

True. We have a significant amount of users who just loiter around the forums, littering any of the forum which they can victimize at thier own whims and fancies.

Hello,
I'm allways wondering why answers are downvoted.
Therefore I placed a suggestion[^]some day ago.
But now it came to my mind, that maybe some of these votes were not on purpose.
So I looked at the short description : "Rate this message: 1 2 3 4 5 (out of 5)", and I remembered as I started posting on this forum it took me a little while to understand this.
For people who's english is not that good, "(out of 5)" is not very easy to understand.
There would be the possibility to give examples like: "(1..poor, 5..excellent)".
Or, like nearly all other forums, give symbolic help.
Five stars or Five Bobs (CP alien)!
There was an additional confusion for me, cause in our school system a "1" is excellent and "5" is poor.
All the best,
Martin

True. Instead of cryptic notations which might turn ambiguous in different cultures and also for different people, we can try to be as clear.
Another example I like to quote is US Traffic Signals.
1) One of the most common traffic signals found in British Indian systems are 'No Entry'. But in US, they always have it like 'Do not Enter' and even within the roads, on both the sides 'Wrong Way' signal flanks the road.
2) We have cryptic 'Zebra-Crossings' but I felt that in US, the pedestrian crossing has a distinct White light (WALK) signal and Red light (STOP) signal showing a man.

Looks like, there was again a missunderstanding, in which meaning so ever!
Got my '5' to bring it back in shap.
Wow, looks like it was a platinum member! (2.3 from 2 votes)
And it again shows for me the need of (not anonym) voting statements.
All the best,
Martin

The addition of a "thumbs up / thumbs down" icon was suggested earlier and will be added.

A picture is worth thousand words and I am sure this would be a good value-addition.
