Do you go through every web site you visit and critique every tiny corner of them?
Is that why the Google home page is so ... sparse?

I observed the following bug in Modify Profile page with the URL (http://www.codeproject.com/script/profile/modify.asp?ct=[^])
The textbox for 'Name or Alias' does not seem to have a MAXLENGTH attribute or the MAXLENGTH attribute does not match with that of allowed database value for the User Profile Name. The effect is that in an enthusiasm if you create a fancy long name, the next page would show it truncated. The effects are more bad when the name has fancy HTMLization embedded.

I've noticed this for the past few weeks and wondered if it was just me. So I'm reporting the 'bug' to find out if it's just me or if it really isn't working...
Whenever I vote posts now I no longer see the "You voted X on this post" after I vote. I'm always able to see the voting numbers. It doesn't actually let me vote again, but it leaves me confused sometimes wondering if I already voted on the post or trying to remember what I voted...
Did you guys remove that functionality?

I just voted on your post and got the confirmation text. FF2.0.0.6

Now that you return to the page - does it still say that you voted?
I'm still not sure it's CP's problem. It could be a problem on my end.. like cookies or something. I'm using FF2.0.0.7

Hmmm... I think it did... perhaps Chris will have to chime in.

Once you've refreshed the page it no longer shows the votes you made. It's always been this way

Remembering a vote for every message for every login, can be a daunting task. But I think Chris and Co can comment on whether they have any trick to address the requirement too.

We store partial vote info currently, and in the upcoming system we store every vote for every member.
Storing is easy. Retrieving the data efficiently is the trick

Yeah, it worked fine for me. I voted a 1 and it came back and said You voted: 1.

Yes.. now that you return to the page, does it still say you voted? Or does it present the numbers again?
I get the initial confirmation also. I just doesn't persist across page refreshes.. it used to.

CP never has done this.

It's always told you that you have already voted. Putting in a lookup like this, for every post on the page, would add extra weight to an already beat up SQL Server. This means that the check has to be done at the time a vote is attempted.

I realize that. I could have sworn it did. Maybe I was dreaming :P

It does so for articles, not for discussion messages.

this weeks tips:
- make Visual display line numbers: Tools/Options/TextEditor/...
- show exceptions with ToString() to see all information
- before you ask a question here, search CodeProject, then Google

True. That was when you opted to Vote again. But I think his query was when the page loads itself, his prior vote information should also be displayed. Isn't it?

We should have a section for scripting languages, especially latest / greatest such as Ruby. The format of The Code Project is excellent and it would be great to see it extended.

petition MS (successfully) to add Ruby.net to VS08. CP is a MS centric site, until MS sells a ruby compiler it won't be supported here.

IronRuby is on the way, following in the footsteps of IronPython. These are both MS built. That should be enough reason, no?

Hello,
Seems the RSS feed only available for the lounge topics. It would be helpful if you could add RSS feeds for other forums as well.
