Should the editor's name that appears at the bottom of an article page be an email link, rather than a link to the editor's Who's Who page?

No - too much spam

I don't mean a hard link - I mean a link to the form that you get when you click on the Email button in a post.

Ah, so a 'Send the editor an email' link? Right. Will add as a TODO

Right, I think this will help beginners who don't understand the editing process.

Hi Chris,
I was just searching for a tool (SP GEN) on CP. I found it quite tedious in a way that i have to move back to the original page ( tab) to read about the next article. Won't it be nice to have a portion for "People who read this also read".

What does it mean when the Modify option disappears from one of your own articles?

This usually mean that it's been edited.

Is that a bug or a feature?
I did notice that a few of the larger images got cropped down to 600px which made them blurry.

When an article is "edited" by a CP editor, the header background color changes from pale manly blue to pale manly yellow, and the Modify button disappears. All this means is that you should contact the CP editor who edited your article if you want to change it, replace files, etc. You should have gotten an email from a CP editor announcing that your article has been edited. If not, you can look at the bottom line of your article page for the editor's name. In any case, you can always send email to submit@codeproject.com, with the article URL in the subject line.

Thanks Hans. Are all accepted articles eventually edited by a CP edtior? Is that the final phase an article goes through?

Eventually is the optimum word. Many articles have been here many moons and have still not reached the last step of the journey. They are condemned to wander about the site aimlessly yearning for perfection when perfection just will not come.
Yes, articles edited by an editor is the last step of the process.

A consulting section on CP where those of us that are independent consultants can have a central place to advertise effectively. Expensive enough to keep out the spam, cheap enough to be affordable. Potentially a peer rating system and a client rating system. Yadda, yadda, but not a forum to place bids for low priced work, just a place where a company, could at glance see a list of possibles with fast information any the potential to generate good leads for those of us that pursue that particular line.
The only hard-line I would take with such a service would be the caveat that it would only be open to browsing from actual companies and not fake recruiting companies and/or recruiters.

How do we do this?

That is why I said I would pay for it :P
Off the cuff, perhaps make anonymous data about the consultants available. Interested employers, in order to contact a consultant would have to be registered. Since it is a paid service from the consultants I would think they could be trusted, to an extent, to rate the employers as in violation or not removing their ability to spam. The only real hard part then is preventing automated registrations which could be done, perhaps, by requiring a TIN or other country specific employer identification which can be verified automatically, or on a volunteer basis.
No matter the system I think of there will be potential for abuse, yes, but if the balance is right I think it would be a valuable service.

Why don't we have a form they use to contact you. On the form is a checkbox:
[ ] Are you a (insert list of undesirables)?
If they check "yes" it says "sorry, this consultant doesn't want to know you". If they check "no" and you get an email then they get marked (by you) and are sent a warning (by us). 3 strikes and they are out.

It would still need some sort of auto registration prevention but otherwise it could work.

Would you expect to see Code Project acting as a arbiter (supreme authority of sorts) in terms of contracts, pricing, payments, problem resolution between parties and so on and so forth. Do you see this as an up-market, more professional version/variant of Rent-a-Coder ???

No, just CP providing the introduction and potentially a rating but staying out of the rest. Otherwise a conflict of interest could arise quite easily.

I don't think a checkbox is necessary. About half of my contracts come from agencies, and I don't want to discourage that. I can do my own filtering.
The idea of a Contractors' Board is a great one.

Yeah but I wouldn't pay to advertise to a recruiter. Ever checked out Dice.com and tried to find a direct employer looking for a contract?

I tell the agencies I deal with what rate I want. What they make above that, is up to them. I don't care where the contracts come from, as long as I get the rate I ask for.
