Currently in forums when a particular message is replied to only its author gets a notification but not the original author or other participants.
How about having a link like 'Enable Email Subscription'. I admit that the following points have to be taken care of:
1) Heavy Email Traffic and SMTP overload.
2) We can fine tune (1) to an extent by restricting the subscriptions only to the participants.
3) However, even by deducing from (2), anyone can just put a thread and become a participant.
The cost overweighs its signficant advantages at least from an instant vision. Just putting out the suggestion so that it would be a little brainstorming exercise and others can share thier views too.

We're working on it. The points you raised (and others) have been holding us back a little

I agree. I think there should be a "Watch Thread" as well as a "Watch Article" for article updates. This also implies it should be possible to edit your "watch list".

As you know monthly competition reveals the best article of the month. If you see someone's profile then you will find a list of articles written by that person that have won in monthly competitions. I suggest there is a special sign next to article title showing that it is a winner of a monthly competition. It will help new people browsing the list of the articles to see which articles can be useful for them. What do you think?

True. That would be an added value for the article too along with the votes earned by it.

Added to the list

You are kidding, right? They are on different sides of the planet.

It just means I got nothing. It's probably not the best term to use on a programming site.

This is a known issue and is due to load. We're working on it

Is there any chance of making the "Book Reviews" link on the in the navigation sidebar a bit more prominent?
|
|
|
|

It's hard to get the balance right: one person wants book reviews more promintant; the next wants Vista highlighted. The third wants hardware to get the limelight.
We are reorganising things and are in the final stages of a rewrite that will improve search results. Hopefully these two things combined will help solve the issues

How about using WebParts or what ever they're called so we can all customise CP to look how we want , we can then have a most ghastly layout competition.

How about having a Microsoft Expression (Blend/Web/Design) forum under Vista->WPF as Expression Blend (which i am trying out) appears to be not that intutive as claimed (atleast for me).

We have an Expression[^] section under Graphics / Design.

How about CodeProject bringing in an 'on-the-fly' spell checker for forum posting, article posting textareas. A quick webservice can do this trick. I accept that Mozilla FireFox has builtin spell checker but IE does not have a freeware.
But the limitations of such a spellchecker at least for CodeProject is that program/code/markup would get unnecessarily underlined as a typo. So a good deal of customization or 'living-with-it' might be required.

There are plenty. Heck, last i checked, the Google Toolbar offered a spell-checker for IE, as well as a proper search.

Yes, but can you blame them for doing so if that's the only legal way they can hire programmers they want at the rate they can afford?-- Nish on sketchy hiring practices

Unfortunately helping people to spell better isn't something I'm willing to devote a lot of resources to. There are plenty of solutions already for those that wish to improve their online postings.
