Not sure if this has been suggested before but I would appreciate a Code Critique section.
A lot of photography sites have it. Basically you post your photo and offer it up for constructive critique. Other people then suggest improvements, tips and tricks etc.
CP is great for learning the how and what, but can be a bit lacking on the why side. To me a CC section would be valuable for the why side. e.g. Why and when an Engine Collection Class is suitable and not.
I am not sure if a forum would be the best way to present this, but it could be a start.

try it:
1) log yourself off from CP
2) click on "Who's Who"
3) enter the name "Peretti" into the "Filter by name" field and click "Refresh"
Thers is one member shown (first name Marco)
1) Log on with your CP account
2) click on "Who's Who"
3) enter the name "Peretti" into the "Filter by name" field and click "Refresh"
The is NO member at all.
Bug is: the drop down combo named "Order by" seems to change the meaning of the "Filter by name" field too. If you select order by name, then the mentioned user is found again.

The FAQ links to this page when you click on the first "Tutorials" link. But the page insists that there are no articles found.
Bug or feature?

That one is (as far as I can tell) usually the result of a timeout due to server load.

There's server load? Do we put a lot of load on the servers Chris?

Just imagine around 15,000 people simultaneously yelling at our servers demanding their morning fix of CodeProject. I don't know whether it's just the light but I swear the database server gives me dirty looks everytime I wander past.

Is it possible to make the coockie based system also know when you last visited a specific forum and show how many new posts since you last visited it. The current since last date/time does not work so well as its applied to all forums. After visiting one you can't really tell if there have been any new posts in a different forum which you havn't looked at.
Currently, I try and remember the number of posts in each given forum and can approximately see whether there have been any new posts.

Is it true that authors can obtain the names of the people who rated their articles? Stephane Rodriguez said so in an answer to a post. If so, I can think of all sorts of uses for this knowledge. For those who rate articles 2 or 3, a DoS or spam attack may be appropriate. A 1 rating could earn a visit from the DC sniper, or at least a retaliatory 1 rating on all of their articles.
All kidding aside, authors should not be able to obtain this information. I believe secret rating is honest rating.

No. Members cannot get the names of the people who have voted for their articles. However, I do record this information so I can check up on voter abuse and ensure that you can only vote for an article once.

I have to disagree. I see the member ID.
How low can you go ?
(MS rant)

You see your member ID after you vote - just as a reminder that I am recording votes.
If you can find a way that shows how to determine who has voted on an article then I'd be interested to see. Not even my admin scripts currently allow me to do this
cheers,

In my article [^]posted some days ago, I happen to have answered immediately after someone posted a comment. And I saw the red message "...member 231 voted" on top of the rate bar (constructed with the ?st=... in the query string). Looks like this message only lived a few minutes (session timeout probably).
As soon as I saw it, I responded the guy with a different point of view, of course...
This is a nice feature. Just would be great if I could get the whole list, and no timeout on that. (which is equivalent to gain read access to one of your DB tables).
How low can you go ?

I can agree with that logic...but still...i'm gonna rate someones article the way I want...if I think it could use an improvment...i'll grade it low and say why...

An answer has been posted to your message ...
A new reply has been added to your article ...
Thats a new "feature" that the article author gets the same message twice only because he wrote a reply to a message to one of his articles AND he is the author.
So, the first mail is because of the answer to a message and the second (equal) mail is because its related to the article.
Is that really necessary? Configurable? Removable?

First you want something that works and now you want something that works sensibly? Sheesh! 
(added to the TODO)

I really wouldnt want to change your TODO list with mine. You would finally have time to go through all your 9000+ mails 
And, no, it doesnt need to work sensibly. Just the way I like it to work is fine.
