No, there wasn't much but there were a few things such as the code in the PRE tag being too wide (causing scrolling) and the PRE tags not having Lang attribute (so the colorizer couldn't do it's thing - not that the colorizer is 100% at the moment). Also ensure you enter width/height tags for images - it stops the page resizing with a jerk when the image is actually loaded

PRE tags - I'm working on a 22-inch wide screen monitor, so it's kinda hard to determine what an acceptable width is regarding the code in a PRE tag. I also didn't know about (or forgot about) the language attribute.
Images - perhaps the article submission wizard could automagically determine the width/height of the uploaded image, and include it in the img tag. It may already do this but I deleted the default content of the article and substituted it with my own. Maybe on the content editing screen, there could be a dropdown/button that injected the appropriate markup at the cursor position in the edit field (kind of like the quoting functionality we have now).
In any event, I'll try to do better.

The editor window itself is sized so that if it doesn't scroll there, it won't scroll when viewing an article live.

It does this if you use the image button on the toolbar, and there's also a link next to uploaded images (just above the editor) that you can click to insert an image with all the right fixin's
I'm always after ways to make this easier...

I guess the next logical step is to make it read my mind.

Not even a program should be asked to read your mind. Some things are too cruel.

I think it was be really cool to have a forum for this. It would be nice to have a place to get and/or give help on xaml questions.

You shouldn't expect immediate responses to your messages. Give it some more time.

Each of the article has its own messageboard in CodeProject. Isn't it? This can be roughly compared to a blog post alongwith its tailing comments section.
I just thought it would be good if 'Total Number of Comments: <number>' can also be displayed. To extend it further, we can have it as a hyperlink to Comment Break up page (optionally viewable only by Article Author/Administrator' to display the following breakups:
1) Feedbacks
2) Feature Requests
3) General Queries
4) Abuses [Anyway we have a good Community Voting system, which would protect us from this item by fading it away over the course of time].
5) Praises/Testimonies
I feel that this should be an enormous value addition for articles and can be a good measure for the Author to improve himself right?

Serisouly, do have anything better to do other than critique every corner of this site?
You do know that there is a new version of CP (completely rewritten) on the way, don't you?

Hi Dave,
I didn't mean to offend anyone. I just thought of sharing an opinion. If I had hurt anyone's feelings, I deeply regret and apologize for the same.

You didn't hurt my feelings. I'm just wondering if you spend your time looking for problems with web sites.

I'm going to throw the beta site at him this week to give him an entirely new set of bugs to find and suggestions to make while in turn giving the site (at least the suggestions form) some serious load testing

Will it have its own "Suggestions and Bug Reports" forum, or will everything
get mixed into the existing one?
maybe you could mark messages somehow when entered from the new site?

- make Visual display line numbers: Tools/Options/TextEditor/...
- show exceptions with ToString() to see all information

Are you going to throw it at a lot of people?

That sounds like a dare, John. The only person that really needs to look at it is Chuck Norris.

Perhaps similar to Microsoft Beta Testing website, we can call for a few invitations and release it step-by-step. Wouldn't that also insure that the testing process is rigourous and fool-proof?

In one of the messages, I saw the following text:
"-- If this is a post that has been helpful to you, please vote for it. Thank you!"
Shouldn't CodeProject consider discouraging those texts in the messageboards since Voting should come from within and should not be requested in return (as in a barter system)

I specifically want members to vote on messages. The more members vote, both good and bad, the more other members can sift through the mountain of data we have here to find the gems (and ignore the pebbles)

We love it too.
But actually if a signature of a specific message solicits... [Wouldn't that be a bad one?]
