Chris doesn't say "No".
He may call a bug a "feature", he may do or not do something "by design", but he seldom says "No".
And at times he is pretty good at "drowning the fish" ("de vis verdrinken" is a delaying tactic popular amongst politicians).

Wow Luc. I don't know what to say to that.
Not everyone wants exactly what you want, not everyone prioritises their requests in the same order as you do, and not everyone has 48hrs in the day.
We are a very small group, Luc, and work day and night to try and get through the ever growing, ever varied, ever changing list of things that need doing, including a great deal of time simply running the site that has nothing to do with fixes or new features.
If I'm not fast enough or if the things we work on don't match your expectations then I apologise.

you do, I know, everyone knows.
I did say you seldom say "No". Maybe you should more often. Mostly on the looks, not the functionality, if you ask me.
And yes, sometimes I would like to get things better and sooner. The renewed search was one such feature (pretty good now, could still become better with a little effort). Not showing a "Delete" widget on non-leaf forum messages is one (half done). Code sniffing in forum messages (my article dates Jan-2010). A web service.
I appreciate the work you and your group is doing. The results are great; site traffic must prove that. However I also see a need to urge you to remain focused on core functionality and quality.

PS: there is another recent thread that fits in with this.

You could provide it as is, or give it a simple make over and launch it.
And whatever you do, this community is bound to come up sooner or later with more feature requests, bug reports, and everything you have come to expect.

Every time I go to that page, my scrotum itches. I'm using Win7 and IE8.

if you're not itching resistant, maybe you should abstain from IE (8 or otherwise).

Sorry for jumping in.
First issue on the page. It says:"Top Article experts". Looks like it is more of Q&A rep there and not articles based.

It's slapped together and not finalised (hence not linked). Just wanted to give the poster a peek at something in the works.
Suggestions welcome. The goal is to highlight those members who have helped others the most.

The bigger question still hasn't been asked...
I seem to remember something about status being erected in our honor...
On second thought, it might have been something about honoring erections...
I hate early morning brain fogs...

Another one!
Data for "Top Article experts (this year)" looks incorrect. SAKryukov has gathered much more rep points than 30,291.

While the criteria from fool.com might not be appropriate for CodeProject, various other criteria’s might serve to tickle our vanity – like recommendation percentage, accepted answers, notorious down-voter, etc. The page layout isn’t all that shabby either.

Nice one! Thanks for sharing Chris. (Bookmarked!)

I think you should couple this with a new graph that shows the top 10 users with respect to their lack of anything resembling a life.

This link is down. Is it possible to have this page back?
Thanks in advance.
