A wiki would be very useful.
It wouldn't even need to be a terribly full-featured wiki. A single page associated with each forum providing full history and very limited formatting would suffice for FAQs.
You could almost accomplish this with the article system, except that 1) there is no revision history for articles, and 2) you'd have to explicitly add the IDs of every potential author.

Anybody got a server lying around where you can install David's ScrewTurn Wiki? 
All you'd need is Chris to add in a redirect for wiki.codeproject.com to that server.

I am getting the following error message in Lounge for the past few minutes.
Seems there is some data corruption. Sorry - no can do.
Is a part of sentence missing?

Hey VDK,

That's a good site! I've never seen it before.

One of my other favorite website is
The Free Dictionary
http://www.thefreedictionary.com[^]
I should actually thank one of my collegue who blogs at http://mytidesandtidings.blogspot.com/[^] who introduced me this site sometime back. It has a good interactive components like Hangman, Spelling Bee and Matchup. Perhaps I just thought you would love to visit that too.
From the time she introduced me this website, this has been another tab in my IE 7 to keep myself occupied without wasting time in hot sun and offloading the wallet unnecessarily.

I received an email from Marcela Moran asking for my postal address. Is this legitimate?

Yes. There's a thread from yesterday afternoon in the lounge on it. CP wants to mail paper certificates to MVPs.
Otherwise [Microsoft is] toast in the long term no matter how much money they've got. They would be already if the Linux community didn't have it's head so firmly up it's own command line buffer that it looks like taking 15 years to find the desktop.

Perhaps if someone posted the Internet headers of the email message, a CP Administrator can scrutinize this and advise accordingly.

 What ever the heck for? Chris himself confirmed that it is indeed Marcela.

1) The date controls on the search page should show 2000 through the current year in the year dropdown. Instead, it shows 2006 through 1010, and you have to select 2006 and then drop it down again to select an earlier year.
2) In the member profile page, when you click the posted messages link, it only returns the 200 most recent posts, with no option choose a different criteria for searching. I have an idea - provide a way to select a date, and a field for specifying a number of days (1-30), and then return all posts for the specified number of days before and after the specified date.

Good ideas. The date picker kinda bites and we know it needs replacing.
Anyone got a good one they can throw at us?

Should CP adopt a CAPTCHA?

No, that would hamper postings. I was thinking more along the lines of being able to give a reason when reporting spam and if it is spam, have CP delete the user and not allow the user's domain links (like the signature for example) if they try and create another id. More filtering/edits than anything.
This one's pretty obvious because it's happened before and it seems he's just dying to get clicks.
What really irks me is that people that post articles are being bothered by replying "thanks" to someone that can care less about the article and just wants to get his links out there and search engine indexed.

Have you seen Google Accounts login? The second, third and subsequent bad login attempts are forced by CAPTCHA.
In the similar way, there should be some automated inspection of the content. If there is something suspicious, then the CAPTCHA should be thrown to the user.

CP Team,
Can you check out this article?
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/java/manish.aspx[^]
1) Contains just the article template. I think the author has just pressed the SUBMIT button perhaps.
2) Unnecessary swollen 1.69 MB Zip File. I haven't downloaded it since it looks like a potential virus threat because of article abuse.

I was bit concerned of the nature of the article since the prankster was trying to use CodeProject Article engine as a vector to spread the infection. Did you see the mysterious 1.79 Mega Bytes file?

3 editors are scanning the article report list constantly, and there's only one of me scanning this page. Using the systems we have in place helps us ensure things are working smoothly.

Chris,
There's a theory going around in pub circles that VDK has been brain washed into believing that the Suggestions Forum is his personal blog.
