Yep - I have a semi-working version done but we've since done some replaning on what we want to offer, so something simple has turned into something un-simple so much of the initial work is being replanned (or should I just say 'planned' and be truthful about it) and rewritten.
You have no idea how keen I am to move forward on this...
cheers,

I've been waiting for it since you said there will be one....
But what about this: Let us members have a preview look at it... only inlogged members has access to the link that take us to the ASP.NET version, and to see it you also have to be inlogged?!
So, then we all here on CP can BETA test it!
Come un now Chris! I now your're in a "replanned" state with the ASP.NET version but... PLEASE!

Programming is great. First they pay you to introduce bugs into software. Then they pay you to remove them again.

We're currently reworking not just how we are rewriting the site, but the entire way in which we'll be approaching development. I hate to say it but it looks like we're getting organised.

Any chance you'll be documenting these "adventures" so that we can read all about it in a series of articles. I'm always interested to read about these kind of endeavours.

1) It's ASP.NET
2) No more ASP. You've obviously never had to deal with ASP. 
3) He can write ASP.NET pages in the hot, sexy new language: C#
4) No more ASP. (I said this already. Oh well, it's worth repeating.

But from an end-users viewpoint, what difference does it make how it's implemented?
I'm in the process of re-writing my site using ASP.NET and C#. Not because it's the sexy, new thing, but because the usability and design of the existing site was in need of a major overhaul.
ASP.NET just happens to be the right tool for this job.
However, rewriting a site to use ASP.NET or anything else -- "just because" -- doesn't seem very smart.
Don't get me wrong. Sure, I'd love a new site in ASP.NET... if it meant new functionality that Chris could implement much quicker because .NET makes it easy for him do so.

Please, forbid an author to rate his own articles. I suspect there are authors who after posting their article are in hurry to rate it by 5 points. (A great number of new articles are rated by just one person and suprisingly, the rating is 5.)

Unsure about it. It has happen to my 3 latest articles, while I have never self-voted.
And I swallow a small raisin.

I frankly believe there are authors who never self-vote and I'm sure you are the one of them, but with the same breath I believe there are self-voters too. It's a statistics what makes me that sure. My suggestion just prevents such a behaviour, even though I understand that. CP seems to be a quite prestigious site

Most often individual votes are outweighted by high profiles voters, as said Ch.M. in another thread.

Well, sure but there are many dev sites out there, and most of them have included interactive stuff such like voting.
What CP needs most for the time being is IMHO not a better rating, but a more efficient browsing (like comparing Google search to an older generation search engine). This is now almost impossible to get an article on purpose. See for yourself : do a search with "SaveAs".
And I swallow a small raisin.

Hey Chris,
I'm thinking of buying a few books on Amazon.co.uk. Do you have any referral links to the uk site setup??? Just so CP gets a little money.

How about keyboard shortcuts, through accesskey="" attributes? They would be a lot more useful if I didn't have to switch to the mouse every time. Right now I only use them for link, really. The tooltips could display the keyboard shortcuts (Alt+Blah). But make sure that after the button is pressed, the code to insert the markup also focuses the cursor back in the textbox!
And also, just a really, really, really picky comment: The tooltips should be sentences, that is, with periods and no initial caps. Also maybe make the tag name in <>s. So, "Wrap the selected text in HTML <small> tags." Don't hurt me for being so picky, I'm sorry!

You can never be too picky. I'll add these to the list.

May I ask how long is the ToDo list?

There's roughly 20 items that are critical, about a dozen that are large scale, long term, and maybe 100 that are smaller tweaks.
If I sat down and brainstormed on things that can be added, changesd, improved etc I could easily quadrupal the size of the list.
cheers,
Chris Maunder

em and strong work well when you want emphasis or uh, strong  on a word or phrase, but when you want or need italics and bold you get no guarantees those are what you will get with em and strong.
Now as far as I know all current browsers render em and strong as italic and bold (respectively) but that could change.
