I seriously hope you didn't read any of mine then, if this is your opinion of the blogs.

I stopped reading the blogs a long time ago. I'm not trying to insult anyone, I'm just stating my opinion.

In my opinion, if a blog entry really is excellent in the opinion of the CP editors, they should treat it just like an article sent to submit at codeproject.com, and post it as a regular article.

I don't want to read blog entries, and my personal preference would be not to see any link to any blog-related stuff on any menu, page, forum, list, combo box, newsletter, or wizard on the CP site.

Best wishes,
Hans

Do you by any chance have a link to the 'rocking coffee cup' blog.

That sounds really useful! Laugh | :laugh:

Currently, as ohers have said, this system doesn't take into account Technical Blogs. We have been playing around with a new system that awards points not just for articles, but for blogs, and again not just for writing them, but you get points when they are upvoted, and lose points when they are downvoted. This way it's not just the count but the quality that contributes to status.

I'll double check you're on the beta list so you can have access to the point system. Unfortunately there's not been much discussion from the current beta group (ahem).

I've been sitting here thinking "Hans has been extremely quiet - he must be busy". I was absolutely sure you were on the beta list because if anyone is going to tweeze apart something we're presenting then hit it with the Blowtorch Of Sanity it's you.

You've been added. I apologise. I'll let Thiru know we're about to get a drumming.

Open a new browser window and you'll see the Quick Answers [beta] link. There is a "Help!" link at the top right that takes you to the FAQ, and at the bottom is a brief description of the new reptuation system and a table showing, in gory details, our first rough pass at awarding points for contributions.

Been a bit busy (blaim work and renovating a apartment on my own), have a list of possible bugs but haven't had time to double check them and send them.

I'll get on it when I have a couple spare minutes Smile | :)

Also couldn't really find where to post them exactly Blush | :O

(but then again haven't been looking that hard yet Poke tongue | ;-P

Chrome Bug - appeared 20/10/2009? [modified]

Chris - I'm having issues posting messages from Google Chrome - I type in a message, press 'Post Message' and the result is a new, empty 'Post Message' form, with no message posted

I tried the same thing with Firefox (although using CPhog rather than the standard interface) and was able to post a message fine (that's how I'm typing this one in!).

I then emptied cache, browsing history etc from Chrome and tried to post a message again and got the same result as previously.

The problem seems to have appeared between around 2pm 19/10/2009 (UK time) and now. I'm using Chrome 3.0.195.27 (that's the latest beta channel build)

Sorry - appears to have been a transient thing, possibly due to my mobile broadband having a slight fit?

Investigate no more; I face the same issue!

It has happened several times to me in the past 2 days, and strangely enough, you can't even close that page (in chrome) after this has happened. You can't exit chrome either (have to kill it from TM). Chris said to me that it was a server that was misbehaving.

It then seem to be back to normal for a while, and today the same issue seem to have cropped up again.

If only our servers had the power to take down Google's Chrome. One can wish...

But we are experiencing server issues in the wee hours (US time) that may account for a page failing. Still digging in deep on that one.

The member types page has a typo under the "The Code Project Editor" section. It says "Members of this group get a Site Builders icon next to their name". I imagine it should say "Editor icon" or something like that. The Site Builders icon is a little hammer, not the one shown. I'm guessing this is a case of copy and paste webpage composition. D'Oh! | :doh:

Visual Studio is an excellent GUIIDE.

I recently did a lost password, typed in the captcha from image and it failed. I got wise and used the voice read back, completely different numbers/letters than the image, and it works.

This is a known issue and we have it on our TODO to replace the captcha control. Sorry about the hassle.
