Well actually no, I have posted two articles yesterday, and "HtmlPreview" (posted at 23:54 PM local time) is far behind "C# C++ preemptive Popup Killer" (posted at 16:00 PM local time).
I have check out the homepage (and did a couple of refresh to make sure the cache didn't interfere), and I am sure that something is wrong, particularly with where is "Html Preview" in the list,

And I swallow a small raisin.

As for suggestions, I would like CP people to make the "All topics" tab unfoldable with 10 more entries. Most tabs including C# and ASP.Net have almost no life, while entries in the "All topics" are delisted within a day. This deserves enhancement,

The articles on the front page are ordered first by date, then alphabetically by titles AFAIK. If yours is the only, or first one, that day, it will automatically go to the top of the list.

Also, don't forget the servers are in Canada thus are in a funky time zone (I think it's GMT-4 or -5).

HTH,

Article rating's

I can never remeber which articles I have rated and which I've not, so rather then letting us try and rate an article we have rated for before (and getting the 'Rating error: Please vote only once!' message), how about not showing the rate scale instead?

Or I could try to sort my head out and not be so forgetful. Unsure | :~

Yep. That would be a nice featuire. I've often forgot if I've rated an artical or not. Would be nice if there was a little check mark or something to show that you've already rated an artical.

Is this the traditional Irish spelling of 'article', or are you just messing with my mind? Wink | ;)

Hello!
Every article section could use a button to open the article in a printer friendly format so the right edge of the text doesn’t get cut of.
That goes for users in Europe with A4 as paper size an IE as browser.

Every article already has this (look at the top left of an article, under 'Toolbox')

Any chance of putting in a new symbol for people who are article authors?

You have editors

.NET buyers

Why not article authors?

After all, we like to stand out from the crowd too! Blush | :O
