OK, I know programming is our lifeblood (I get withdrawl symptoms at work when I have to use LabVIEW  ), but how about an emoticon competition ?
We really need a few more !

Good idea... but Josh would probably win... He's got a drool icon already.. and it's cool... nobody could beat it.

Hi,
It would be nice to have a section, with articles telling about cool freeware tools ( like: WinMerge, or Programmers Notepad, or....).
I mean, no the software ( this can be downloaded from elsewhere), but the description, and the advantages or limitations...
What do you think ?

What about a clock on the forum pages showing the time on CP servers? This would be useful because non-US CPians like me would easily be able to see how old messages are.

I wish the time display would be in your local time as per your computer. Might also be useful (as an option, probably not default) to have two times listed for posts not posted by yourself. One for the time it was posted relative to your timezone, the other relative to the posters time zone.

Does CP have an RSS syndication? I couldn't find it (I might have overlooked that). If it doesn't have one, what's the problem of creating such a syndication (i.e. latest[^] in an RSS format)? Yes, I know CP provides a corresponding web service and I use it, anyway it would be nice and useful to have an RSS too.

Yes, I have already noticed that my suggestion has been accepted within few days. I immediately added a CP's RSS feed to my RSSBandit list.
Thanks

Chris, you may add the RSS link to CP's main page, otherwise you don't know where to get the feed.

Ok, I've seen the RSS link on the CodeProject Stuff page[^]. Aynway, that red button with XML on it linking to the RSS on the main page feed would be really nice

There is a good chance that I'm missing something here. If I am, please enlighten me. If I'm not, then I'm sure this has been discussed in the past. But...
Why is it so difficult to post code on a forum devoted to programming issues? Specifically, < and > cause problems, even if inside code tags. I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but < and > appear quite frequently in C++ code.
There, I feel much better now.

What I do, since I like to use HTML, is to do ">" for greater-than and "<" for less-than. If you don't feel like going through your code and changing it, you can use Daniel Turini's Desktop Bob's HTMLizer to do it.

It's not really a matter of looking for a work-around. The real problem is that 99% of the time if someone posts a question that has anything to do with templates, any code snippets they include will be useless because they don't realize all the havoc that < and > will cause.
I just think that on a message board devoted to discussing programming issues, you should be able to copy and paste a chunk of code and have it display correctly without jumping through hoops.

...And why did that message show up as "Anonymous"?

If people want that, they can turn off the HTML option. But as I was saying, Desktop Bob's HTMLizer fixes the <> for you.

on my own boards, i added a [code]...[/code] tag set. anything in there is shoved through a regex that replaces all the angle brackets with HTML-friendly escapes. it certainly makes life a lot easier for my posters, with a total of 20 minutes work on my part.
i'm surprised CP doesn't do something similar
