When CP went .NET my profile's job title switched from Software Engineer to Web Developer;
I sure did not modify it myself. I simply set it back to a more appropriate choice, and did
not care much at that time, performance and availability being the bigger issues.
Ever since, I noticed quite a lot of people get called web developer, actually many more than I
care to expect. On the other hand I don't remember having seen anyone complaining about
titles being changes.
Any comment?
Any statistics available from before and after the switch?
Maybe a fix?

Im pretty sure ever'body went to Web Developer because of the change in the job description... thing.
It was a while ago though, so i don't really remember.

We decided to bucket the jobs into a set list of Job Titles and unfortunately we weren't sophisticated enough to tranlate the free-form job title that we used to allow into the set title we did allow, so had to rely on other things. One of those things was your newsletter interest list and if we saw "Web" we went "clearly this person is a bona fide web developer".
And then we made sure you could fix it.

I published this article[^] and it's Page Views count is still at zero. I know for a fact that people have viewed the page (including myself), so I'm not sure why that's happening. Thanks.

It would be cool to be able to mark an article (or member) in order to keep track of articles or people that are interesting. Sometimes I read a good article and want to reference it in the future, just not right now. Afterwards, it becomes a game of remembering, keyword searches or google. Being able to mark an article would be nice.
I use my own system of adding a comment to an article so I can go back through my posts to find articles but it's kind of lame. And sometimes I don't really want to comment, just be able to reference in more detail later.
At the very least, just a list of articles that I've voted on (similar to the "Last Updates" with a rating threshhold screening) would help in sorting through later. You're storing that info anyway.
Something similar to this (mock-up from the profile page)
Messages Posted: 335
Articles Submitted: 5
Articles Marked: 28
Members Marked: 49
with links to see the articles and members marked.

Nevermind. Luc just pointed it out.
Maybe relocating it? Like down where you rate an article, comment on an article or mark an article? I usually read the article and then decide on rating it or adding a comment. For whatever reason I've ignored the top menu in the past.
Thanks Luc! I guess I can get rid of my little folder with browser links to articles.
Boy do I feel

Yes, up to the moment you have hunderd or more bookmarks; then you will start complaining
about insufficient searching, sorting, classifying facilities...

Since yesterday, sometimes the width of side-bar frame (where we see the links for "Monthly Competition", "We're hiring", and "CHAPTERS", etc.) gets crazy.
The width of items in the frame is as usual, but the width of the frame increases. So we see extra 2 cm wide spare space.
And the horizontal scroll bar shows up!

Maxwell Chen,
This is IE 6, right?
What OS you are on?
And can you reproduce the steps, when this bug happens?
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Elina

IE 7, version 7.0.5730.13,
Windows XP with SP2,
There is no specific steps to reproduce it. It just happens randomly.
And, last time when it happened, it kept that way after I clicked VC++ forum link to refresh.
Not working, so I switched to the Lounge. Layout problem was still there.
So I closed IE window.
The next time I opened another IE window to visit CP, it did not happen though.

The site speed gets faster now. I guess that the new code is running now! 
Will it be helpful that I send you a .mht (compressed webpage) file for analysis? I just saved one copy of this forum!
It happens quite often right now, including the homepage of CP. But it is not allowed to save a copy of the homepage.

We know what it looks like, we just haven't had a chance to nail it down.

I've seen that too. From what I can tell, the only thing in common that I've noticed is that it's happening when attached to the Web10 server.
BTW, the other times I've had problems (error pages and things like that), it's been Web10 also.
Set 'em straight. Smack it with a hammer, then gracefully reboot.
Hope this helps.

I am using GMail. Recently I found that the CodeProject banner picture in the forum email notifications becomes nonsecure. When I click on the notification emails, IE displays a message box for:
This page contains both secure and nonsecure items.
Do you want to display the nonsecure items?
If I choose Yes, the CodeProject Bob picture displays.
If I choose No, the picture is blocked.

GMail should be serving from https:// and codeproject IMG URL should be http://

The CodeProject Daily News (The Insider picture) do not have such problem.

Forum emails are in reciept within Inbox [Reply Link]. However, when some one sends a message through [EMAIL LINK], it lands into Spam.
