A screencasts or video tutorial section on CP would be really good. I'm not sure how the hamsters would cope with the extra load though, but it's definitely one to consider.

I have seen so many article's, which have discussion messages not related to article content. See this[^], author wrote a good article on how to post questions, and so many members has posted their programming questions on the article discussion board!

So how about an option for the article author to moderate the comments for his articles ? I think this can keep the article discussion boards with related informations.

That is a wonderful suggestion. But I would suggest that apart from the author, CodeProject MVPs and/or SysAdmin, editors and staff must be allowed to moderate the questions posted. This is because, the authors may not always be available.

no. Because authors of crap articles will simply moderate all the just criticism they receive away to make their resume fodder look better.

I disagree.

If you put a note in a big red font saying 'DO NOT DELETE POSTS WHICH SLAUGHTER YOUR CRAP ARTICLE' somewhere on the authors forum, then they won't delete them. This method has certainly working in preventing programming posts being left in the lounge

The comment moderation should be a fine blend of Author View + a Panel of CodeProject Admins. In that way, the autocracy of the Author and consequent hypocrisy Big Grin | :-D

is offset. We thus, gain to maintain a healthy mix of suggestions and criticisms on the article without any offensive content.

About emotions/smilies

I see four emotions are same, tooltips of these are "Insert a smile", "Insert laugh", "Insert a wink", "stick out your tongue", can anyone tell why single emotion has been assigned for these four, further more check that all tooltips prefixed with word insert except "stick out your tongue".
Also shouldn't it look better if the word "insert" being removed from the tooltips of emotions? IMO "Add a smiley" is sufficient.

Some of those are animated images. They start out looking the same, but then change. Specifically, Laugh | :laugh:

are all animated.
