Thank you kind sir! Got my certificate today! Going to have it professionally framed. Are the Bob bits iron ons?

They are stickers! Ironing might turn out a little messy 
(Glad you got it)

Could we have a Groovy (and a Grails) section for articles? I might even be bothered to write one if we can...
print "http://www.codeproject.com".toURL().text
Ain't that Groovy?
|
|
|
|
|
Do you want a topic section or an attribute with which to mark your articles (and then have the articles appear in the current topic sections?)

Probably just an attribute would do the trick, rather than a whole section.
print "http://www.codeproject.com".toURL().text

mail is still not working reliably, i.e. I am getting mail notification when a reply is posted to one of my messages (works all the time), but I don't get a mail when someone is sending me an e-mail reply. So "the Email button is broken".
This has been reported many times by many people, it has not been fixed, and does not show on the published list of bugs. Please fix this.

It's on the bug list. Both buttons use the same code though. Very weird.

I can see it now.

If the mailing code is the same, then my best guess would be the data it gets (mainly the mail address) isn't correct, maybe something does not always get initialized correctly?
If you have a technical problem, don't hesitate to post a question in the correct forum

Sorry Dave, I know it may sound like a surprise but there actually shouldn't be anything funny about that. I have an ulterior motif here: the best software is software that gets used also by its creators, so I prefer the CP staff to actually use several forums like regular users do, and not just read the site bugs and suggestions one.

I haven't noticed this before, but I just saw that the three mentioned links/buttons are misplaced in The Lounge. They are right next to the headline instead of above the big message box in the right side, where they are on the other forums.
I'm running Firefox 3.0.6.

Hi CodeProject,
Love the site, frequent it almost daily, and just wish I had the ability of some of you experienced folk that produce some great articles and support the userbase.
I would like to suggest a simple method of changing the colour themes for the site.
Your probably against this because your current orange make your site recognisable, but if you are a registered member and logged in, it would be good to change the theme (and maybe have even save this in your settings).
I was thinking of a simple colour box selector similar to the one on the uk.msn.com site (top right) would suffice (i also think it is better than the implementation they use on the main msn.com site). The uk.msn.com orange theme probably would also go well with your standard orange layout anyway. For some reason, I seem to like everything in cool grey themes (probably because of my control systems background!)
Just a suggestion!
Many thanks,
|

Hmm. Tempting...

Chris - would it be possible to turn off smiley parsing within <pre> and <code> blocks? These generally represent code, and you probably don't want smileys in code?
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

Can you send me a link to a message with code that contains smileys? The code should be smart enough to not convert, but it can always be improved.
cheers,

I would, except I 'refactored' the smiley out (I always preview). However, it was a regex, like this:
std::tr1::regex re("^([^:]*):(\\d+)\\s+(\\d+)\\s+(\\S)\\s+(\\S)$");
The preview indicates an anti-smiley (the correct reaction to any regex, possibly) between the first two captures.

Given the rapid growth rate of people demanding answers to the most basic questions, such as "what is LINQ: introduction and suitable example", I think it would be prudent to add a "Google it!" button next to the reply link in our message boards which would send them to google.com. I think it would also be appropriately humorous to have this button include some derogatory yet funny quip about the brainlessness and incompetence of the poster being replied to. It would also be quite enjoyable for all of us plagued with having to respond or even look at these demands if said poster was, oh, banned from posting for a day, with a nice clear message as to why they are banned? Perhaps we could encourage a return to the older culture of CodeProject...where people actually asked questions about challenging problems so those who respond can actually be interested in responding.
Perhaps we can have a little CodeProject contest to see who can write the best engine for generating "humorous derogatory quips" to go along with the google.com link.

That's funny. Your idea about "humorous derogatory quips" would be amusing to some, but the problem is that sometimes it is not possible to determine if the poster is stupid (and should be looking for a different profession) or ignorant (as we all are, about some things).
Still, I think the idea for prompt to search google is a good one. Maybe above the text box, there could be Would you like to try google first?, along with an edit field for question, and a google button.

Now that idea I like!
As to the google it link, I reckon I need to make the 'auto-search an answer' suggestion that was made, oh, years ago, a higher priority. Let's stop dumb questions being answered in the first place.
