Have a "if you downloaded my files, click here for a free stock tip" button. That should get you some accurate results

Hi Brad,

I don't think it will be accurate - a user does not have to click it to download files on Code Project (I assume they will take the path of least resistance). They'll eat and run...

Well I guess you have two options, ask reeealy nicely or you could just stry host to the source on an external page and have the article link to it.

Hi Brad,
The Code Project servers don't track downloads? If not, the statistics can be pruned from the logs (I assume it is IIS).

I think it would be unwise in any web application to let anything touch log files.

I agree. How does Code Project currently handle Page Views? In my (somewhat ignorant) opinion, there is very little difference between serving up a Web Page, or serving up a Zip File.

Jeff,
Similar to RapidShare? But I think it would be resource-intensive right?

Maybe I'm being naive, but page views are already counted. What is the difference between counting the serving of a page (Page Views) or the serving of a zip file???

if we had an search ability for the forums? It can make reposts an smaller occurrence. See[^]

Something else then Search comments[^], or you missed that one?

Here in the forums there's a nice big Search box thingy... that doesn't search the forum.
And what does search the forum says "Search comments" rather than "Search Posts".
I find that very non-intuitive. If I'm looking at a forum I'm unlikely to want to search articles.

I'm with you. I don't even know where the link to the comments search is at. This could definitely use some improving.
|

|

Thanx. I did indeed miss it. Don't know how or why.

First, we can already search the forums. Second, it doesn't stop reposts.

1 - New accounts not allowed to post ANYWHERE. Let them download, no posting.
2 - If enough people make complaints against a particular account, make the account 'post after review'.
Thanks

How about new accounts can only post at most x characters at a time?

Then we use --x until he can't. There probably is a minimum that we can use.

True. How about new accounts have a nuisance character limit for posting and are not allowed to use any html tags?

That would work too but is probably more complex.
