Do you think it would be a good idea if members with edit privileges were to be able to add new tags via the tag screen itself

No - I think it makes more sense to add tags at the point you need them.

I have a little suggestion in Bookmarks. I have a lot of bookmarks to excellent articles in Codeproject but there is no way I can track them as "Read" or "Unread". It would be great if you have a little feature in mind to colour bookmarks on the click of a link to differentiate them from read and unread.

This could sort based on read and unread bookmarks as well. The only problem I see for this is that messages are bookmarked as well.

The CodeProject code browser will not allow users to browse my cshtml (MVC3 Razor View)

Not a bad idea.

The CodeProject code browser will not allow users to browse my cshtml files (MVC3 Razor View) in my article. Any suggestions? I notice that other articles with MVC3 code have the same problem.

Quick Answer formatting

When I'm signed out code formatting in preview works OK, but when I sign-in it stops working:
<pre lang="c#">
var x = GetX();
</pre>

Does anyone else have this problem. Tried both FireFox and Chrome.

Move your mouse to hover over your name at the top right of the window. Click on "My settings", select the "Forums" tab and see if Treat my content as plain text, not as HTML is checked.

Is is at all possible to edit/compose something here while not being logged in?

I didn't think so, maybe I should try sometime.

Looks like you can compose a quick answers question when you are logged out. If you click "Submit your question", you will see a message that says "Please log in (or quickly sign up) to post".

Though, the preview works fine for me logged in or logged out. Either way, PRE tags show up fine.

I wonder if the OP is pasting the text and it's automatically HTML encoding it?

See my first answer. I see lots of questions and answers which are not formatted properly, but if I use the "Improve ..." link it automatically gets formatted without me having to change anything, simply (I believe) because my profile's default setting is not to treat text as plain.

The format gets updated automatically because when we load a question for editing we do

if (forceToHtml && format = textWithHtml)
    format = Html;

I've made a change so you no longer need to fix your profile settings. We disabled the ability to post in text-only mode (we now always accept HTML), but old profile settings were overriding this.

Article voting.

When you view an article, there is a summary of the current vote at the top - but the actual vote buttons are at the bottom of the article, and can be a long way away. Shouldn't they be together?

I like to know the score before I decide and start reading, and I probably want to vote when I'm through, so it does make sense to me as it is now. I wouldn't mind having them together twice, once above and once below the article.

I think the buttons of power should be both at the top and bottom.

I think that it is good as is: You want to see the rating to get an idea of how good the article is, but you want anyone voting to have at least scrolled through the whole article. I assume this is to prevent voting on just the first few paragraphs of the article, and article votes have a way bigger effect than anything else here.
