I think it would be good to put a "Checked for viruses" banner or some message on the front page, since that info isn't displayed anywhere else.

Any big banners like that make me more likely to be suspicious. Along the lines of "Methinks they doth protest too much".
Reminds me of the following blog post - it's about software awards, rather than flashy "virus checked!" gifs, but the points the same...

I have posted an article called File Searcher in C#[^] .
On April 8, I wanted to update the text and the source code of this article. So I wrote an email to submit@codeproject.com. The email had the subject "File Searcher in C# - Please update". It contained 2 attachments: "ViewHtml.aspx.htm" (an updated version of the html text) and "FileSearcher.zip" (the new source code). The email also contained the name of the article and its URL in the email body.
- But the article still has not been updated! What did I do wrong?

You didn't wait long enough 
Give the CP staff a bit more time, I'm sure they have dozens (if not hundreds) of mails to go over.
I'd say 10 work days and then get worried

I'll check in with Sean and get a status update. Sean and his team are usually very quick about update so it may be the case of a lost email. Or possibly too much Easter chocolate.

The big green text that appears at the top of the forums (ie: "Welcome to the Lounge", "C#", "Silverlight", "The Soapbox 2.0" etc), could these be made into links that jump to the first page of that forum?
print "http://www.codeproject.com".toURL().text
Ain't that Groovy?

The 'Refresh' link and the 'First' link in the forum itself aren't enough? Not sure what it would add.
I can do it, but to keep the style looking good I'd be breaking convention by keeping the link colour of the header as green, not blue, so the headers won't stand out as links.

How about I throw in a Mars Bar, a Twix, a Double Decker and your choice of beverage from the vending machine? Does that help you see things my way?

A nice thing I saw recently was on Amazon. On the books page[^] when you mouse-over the Amazon logo in the top left it turns into a button. I can't put my finger on the whys and wherefores, but it just feels "right".

An idea could be to make the navigation map (whatever this is called) under the green title be a link to the first page.
What I mean is: In this forum for instance, under the green Site Bugs / Suggestion, you have the navigation location:
Home > Forums > Site Bugs / Suggestions
The string "Site Bugs / Suggestions" is a static string. Turn that into a link to the forum first page.

But in this case - the Back Room.
What exactly is a moderator? Rob said that, briefly, he had edit/delete power for everyone in the forum but it disappeared. If I had it, I never noticed it.
In all honesty I am not sure we need moderation - since elimination of voting from the Back Room, there's been one instance of a troll posting the same message nine or ten times (he was ignored) and the case of someone posting a harmful link - certainly something that could hapen in the public forums as easily as the Back Room and handled without any serious problems by reporting it to you.
However, if there must be such a thing, it is probably better that folks like me who think it is the ultimate of last resorts be vested. Only. . .right now I've got the title and nothing else. i.e. the emperor is feeling a draft. 
If you're reading this and asking what the back room is - move along, there's nothing for you here. These are not the droids you seek.

Does the Emperor feel a tad naked? Give it time, I'm sure that Chris can find a fig leave (or two) to cover the Emperor's modesty

It's not my modesty I'm worried about - but I dislike making other people jealous.

All moderators should have edit/delete rights. If it's disappeared then we snipped the wrong wire. I'll post a bug report.
As to whether or not you need it, I leave that in your hands. If you don't want to use it, don't.

1 Enable auto-encode html when pasting.
2 Quote part of a reply.
3 Paste a URL.
All the brackets in the quoted text will be turned into & gt/lt;'s
To clarify, I'm talking about the brackets that make the tags involved in the quoting. I'm using FF 3.0.8 for windows.
Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots.

Click on a component or service in the Catalog and at the bottom is the discussion board.
You don't have to comment to be in the running for a chance to win a T-shirt - just vote!

Chris, you're reply could also have been:
Move the scroll bar on the right of the screen to expose the bottom half of the page, <br />
these are what "scroll bars" are for.
Thank you for not using the idiot stick

The forum signature applies to all the forums. Is it possible to expand the signature to more than one? At times I wish to set different signatures based on which forum I am in. May be show one for Lounge, another for programming forums and may be a third for all others.
I know the Signature can be edited per message post. That may be ok for one or two times, but if I want something permanent signature to apply only in the programming forums, it is pain the 'you know what' to edit the signature for every post. Now the same signature may not be that important in the Lounge or SB.

Oh didn't you notice, analogous to square roots, they recently introduced rectangular, circular, and diamond roots to determine the size of the corresponding shapes when given the area. Luc Pattyn[^]

Hi Yusuf,
I would like to vary my sig, depending on the post, not the forum. So my proposal would be to have the possibility to define say up to 8 different sigs, each with a user-selectable short name; then have one set as the default but also being offered a DropDown presenting the short names and allowing to choose one to replace the default sig.
To accomodate your forum-oriented sigs, we could then make the default dropdown choice depend on the current forum...
Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles]
- before you ask a question here, search CodeProject, then Google
- the quality and detail of your question reflects on the effectiveness of the help you are likely to get
- use the code block button (PRE tags) to preserve formatting when showing multi-line code snippets
