This panel doesn't come anywhere close to displaying current "best picks". There are two articles currently listed that are below a rating of 3.0.

I don't like articles going there when they have one 5 (and no other votes) and are still unedited or were posted only hours earlier.
My opinion is that an article must be some minimum number of days old, have some minimum number of votes, and perhaps have some minimum number of views before it's eligible for Best Picks.

The best picks are cached every 5 or so minutes. We grab the top ones by score and in the meantime they can be voted down and will then be replaced. I'd rather have a potentially bad article have it's 5 mins in the sun than a good article miss out by us being too conservative.

Thanks, but I don't think the messages got merged; I had commented on both.

The forum titles now are of the form:
CodeProject: [Forum name] Discussion Boards
This looks fine for all but the "General Discussions" forum

When posting an article I tried to add a tag that it's written against SQL Server 2008. However, I found only versions 2000 and 2005. Could it be possible to have version 2008 also?

Should be good now

Thanks!
Just one stupid question. How do I add SQL Server 2008 tag to the article afterwards?

Edit your article and add it as an attribute, or if the article has been marked 'Edited' then email submit at codeproject.com and ask one of the editors.

{edit}
I originally wrote this for VMWare workstation specifically, but it applies equally to Virtual PC and Virtual Box and whatever else is out there, particularly after the interest shown in this thread:
http://www.codeproject.com/Lounge.aspx?msg=2826882#xx2826882xx[^]
{/edit}
I suggest that someone at CodeProject contact VMWare and ask them to write a guest article for CodeProject about VMWare, specifically using VMWare virtual machines as the main development "box" for a developer and also the features that VMWare has that help with testing etc. It has a little known feature for integration with Visual Studio and I bet it would be useful to see a general article about specific challenges that can be met with virtual machines for developers.
A lot of developers here have no idea about VMWare and what makes it different than Virtual PC or the open source efforts out there or the different ways it can be applied for development.
Clearly, juding by the number of responses in this thread: http://www.codeproject.com/Lounge.aspx?msg=2826882#xx2826882xx[^] such an article would be hepful.
Also to add what I'd like to see (after reading through that thread) is info about the ideal host operating system and hardware for developers that want to develop only in virtual machines.

Why don't you write an article on it?

a) I don't have time
b) I don't make VMWare or represent them in any way
c) I think they could do a much better job; there are aspects of VMWare that integrate with Visual Studio that I've yet to use at all.
d) It would be useful for CodeProject to get VMWare involved as good PR and potential advertising revenue

I hear ya. I've got about 10-15 article ideas and not enough time to finish them all.

I agree. We see articles from other vendors come on board, why not just add them to the mix 
I was thinking of just something that is a startup article, a basic how-to or something like that.

One at a time will do very well, thank you.
