SOunds good to me "An expert is someone who has made all the mistakes in his or her field" - Niels Bohr Helper rating Vagif Abilov21-Oct-02 21:48 Vagif Abilov 21-Oct-02 21:48  We can rate articles. It would be nice have a way to express our appreciation for people who answer programming questions (in programming forums). Suggestion: - The one who post a question in programming forum can mark an answer as "helpful", so the guy who answered the question gets a point. Only thread originator can rate an answer. - When displaying information about CP members, in addition to number of posted articles CP can display a number of helpful answers. This value can be used when calculating membership level. I think number of helpful answers should be rated higher than number of posted messages. Just my 2 copecks.

Tomasz Sowinski Re: Helper rating benjymous23-Oct-02 1:00 benjymous 23-Oct-02 1:00  The problem is that this is easy to abuse (someone just needs to make multiple accounts, and keep rating themselves as helpful) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit! Re: Helper rating Vagif Abilov23-Oct-02 1:17 Vagif Abilov 23-Oct-02 1:17  The same goes for article rating. As long as you can't convert rating directly into $$, I don't think people will waste their time on crearing multiple accounts and asking themself questions.

Tomasz Sowinski "Move to forum" link David Wulff21-Oct-02 7:54 David Wulff 21-Oct-02 7:54  How about having a "[move]" link at the base of your own messages that lets you move your message and any thread below it to a different forum in the main set? I know you set the functionality was already there but you weren't able to use it yourself without taking on liability for the message, but surely you can allow authors to move their own messages? And if the message is part of an existing thread, moving it should replace it's old self with a link to the new thread for continuance. This would help with wrongly posted messages (i.e. programming questions in the lounge) and also, more importantly, allow you to take a sub thread of a conversation out to a new thread to be discussed. For example if in my recent thread about American tourists someone mentioned a new backpack system they could reply and continue the thread on camping equipment elsewhere, or if a thread in the lounge about cheesecakes moved onto the topic of circumcision, the new line of conversation could be continued automatically in the Soapbox forum. How about it? David Wulff http://www.davidwulff.co.uk An orgy in Tiverton...

Re: "Move to forum" link Chris Maunder23-Oct-02 6:37 Chris Maunder 23-Oct-02 6:37  Adding a feature that would modify a message by replacing it's contents with "go to this forum" yet would keep the original thread intact on the (allegidly inappropriate) forum doesn't help IMO. If one message is moved, they all should be moved, so if this were done then the thread starter would have the power of where to move the thread. Problem here is that moving a thread to a new forum means the moved thread must appear at the head of the message list. At the moment there's no way to insert a thread based on posting date using our current threading model without going through the extremely time consuming process of rethreading the entire forum. The boards are optimised for quick insert/quick read, and so a full rethread of a forum such as the lounge can take 5 mins. IF we accept that messages that are moved end up at the top of the queue then people will post a message, move it to one forum, then move it back in order to keep the message at the top of the queue.

Thus enabling not just flexible look & feel, but also web-services downloading related articles to for example dynamic help. I would gladly translate 10 articles to xml. Re: codeproject in xml Hugo Hallman20-Oct-02 23:17 Hugo Hallman 20-Oct-02 23:17  BTW I won't ever complain about the look & feel of codeproject, which is the best I've ever seen. Re: codeproject in xml Hugo Hallman20-Oct-02 23:21 Hugo Hallman 20-Oct-02 23:21  The server is sometimes slow. By caching an xsl-doc, containing the menu and such, and letting the clients download only the articles, and having some life-time of a few hours( a session) on the menu xsl, this site would perhaps be faster? Isn't it so that all users of codeproject should be developers and therefore interested in having the latest technology. So backward compatibility not should be an issue. I use Opera for browing at home. Re: codeproject in xml Stephane Rodriguez.20-Oct-02 23:34 Stephane Rodriguez. 20-Oct-02 23:34  Translating html to xml cannot be automatically done. It requires human sweat and time. Not likely to happen in the foreseeing future. On the other hand, article authors are already almost allowed to upload .xml versions of their articles. Today the upload form only accepts gif/jpeg and zip files, but this is not hard to let xml go in. I believe more about xml-formatted articles when it comes from the authors' side. How low can you go ? (MS retrofuck) Re: codeproject in xml Hugo Hallman21-Oct-02 1:36 Hugo Hallman 21-Oct-02 1:36  Just to make clear, I didn't suggest automatic translation into xml, that is why I ended my post with "I'll gladly translate 10 documents" I must admit that I'm a little offended here. Re: codeproject in xml Michael P Butler20-Oct-02 23:48 Michael P Butler 20-Oct-02 23:48  I think it's a good idea and probably one the CP team are considering implementing in the ASP.NET version.
