Maybe I have not noticed where this feature is at, but it would be cool to click a button and have a list of all sponsors for the site. Today was yet another time that I noticed an ad just as I had clicked a button to go somewehre else. It is a pain to have to keep refreshing the page until you see the ad you want
So, my vote is for a sponsor section that list all sponsors and maybe thier graphic ad that you can find when you need it.

A little bit of social engineering might be useful to get people to answer more questions in the programming forums:
If the stats of how many replies they made to posts in the programming questions forums were shown as prominently as their overall post count.
I.E. we would hopefully then see posts along the lines of "Wooohooo my 500th reply to a programming question" rather than "Woohoo my 5000th irrelevant post about nothing".
This way tirelessly supportive people like Heath in the C# forum would get their due recognition and it might give people a little incentive to answer questions which would re-enforce one of the pillars of CodeProject.

Just saw that some forum systems do have the ability (for the admins, I guess) to write new threads that always appear at the top of a forum for announcments or other important things.
Maybe CP could have something like this too... (and maybe I should add it, since long time ago I wrote the original CP forum-code... )

very good idea. i guess time to time annoucement from the cp should be conveyed to majority of the ppl as quickly as possible. I bet not many ppl knew that CP will be down for its server upgrades.

While I'm not sure how the dynamic view feature for Mozilla is implemented I assume it to work for Safari, too. Ok, Safari ain't really the browser of choice for the intended audience, I'm currently forced to browse the web via MacOS X. And being a pedantic x-browser JS advocate (or something in this direction, greetings to irc://irc.efnet.net/#javascript), I'd like to see my favorite development site to do feature detection the right way, testing for feature support instead of browser version/name. This way, the site would support future browsers out-of-the box, too

Or Should I say... Code Project On Delphi?
Would it be possible to add Delphi as a category?
Any issues?

Great idea, Uwe! We can have a forum called "Lucy's Corner - The Doctor Is In - $.05"
Heard in Bullhead City - "You haven't lost your girl - you've just lost your turn..." [sigh] So true...

I don't agree with this. It's entirely our own choices if we wish to continue a discussion.
Speaking for myself, I'll stop answering questions if I feel I've already spent enough time on the issue, if I can't think of a suitable response, if I think I've already provided a suitable response, or the original poster should be looking for other sources of information.
If the responder wishes to receive a message notifying a response, they can do so. CP's emailed notifications seem to be fairly reliable.
You have to allow for any time-zone differences between yourself and any other correspondents, time to research answers, and simply the times of day that people wish to browse CP.
CP does not (as far as I am aware) employ people to answer questions; the people who answer questions are simply other users of the site. Don't assume that any answers you receive are authoritative (unless you get really lucky and are answered by the author of a problematic component).
I could go meta at this point, and discuss why I answer questions at all, but this isn't the place.

I agree completely. Posters (the code monkeys at least) need to do some work for themselves. I want to also decide when I stop trying to help and make them help themselves. I already have enough problems from people getting my email off the automatic replies and emailing me directly, even using that as my MSN Messenger account (being that it's my Passport).
I agree that Chris should not consider this at all. This is a forum - not a chat site.

I am going to do a signal processing job to a sampled speech signal.
I have already done the sampling to a speech signal and got the sampled 60001 values.
The next step I am going to do is to normalise the sampled values,i.e.
set the maximum value to +1 and the minimum value to -1. By using the
function "wavread", the read in data has been put in the range of
[-1,+1]. According to what I have found, the maximum value of the
sampled 60001 values is 0.9920, while the minimum value is -1. So, my
algorithm is to divide all the +ve values with 0.9920. Is it correct?
I tried the following program:
m = max(sv); % sv is the array containing the sampled 60001 values
for k = 1:60001 % sv2 is another array I am going to store the
if sv(k)>0 % normalised values.
sv2(k) = sv(k)/m % if the element is +ve, divide it with m.
else
sv2(k) = sv(k) % if the element is 0 or +ve, keep it.
end
end
When running the above, I found that it ran very slowly and I can see
the data rolling on the screen of Command Window. Can anyone give me
some advice on how to do the loop with C/C++ but using the compiler of MATLAB?

Have you ever thought about sending a link to the news letter instead of the full letter? It might save some server time, and save some of my e-mail box space . Maybe it could be done as an option?
Thanks for the site,

Would it be possible to start a new section to discuss and instruct on scripting? I'm currently doing quite a bit of ADSI scripting in VBScript and am converting some of it into ASP.Net. I know a lot of things can be done using the LDAP interface as well. I guess I'm looking for an area that discusses the strengths and weaknesses of both. When to use one vs. the other.
Thanks, Love your site.

Any chance someone is going to address the chronic message board slowness problems before the next millenium?
Seriously, is anyone going to fix this problem so we don't get timeouts posting messages, don't have to wait for a minute at times for forums to load (dynamic view have never used any other)?
It's been an ongoing problem now for at least a full year if not longer and there really never seems to be anyone here saying "We know what the problem is and were going to fix it".
It can be super fast at times so there is abviously hope, on the other hand, maybe it's fastest when the greatest number of people all give up in frustration at the same moment.;)

Yes John, we will.
Our current TODO list:
1. new web servers to fix web server load problems
2. new hosting to fix network bottlenecks
3. new SQL clustering to fix DB load problems
4. more hands on deck to help manage new hardware and rewrite the site
Underlying all this:
5. Balancing the budget (both time and money) to get all this done.
We have just (not 10 mins ago) setup the first of our replacement webservers. We signed a deal with a new host a few weeks back and once we have the hardware setup and tested (one more week) we'll move over there. That's 1 and 2 fixed. SQL clustering has been a bugbear and we've decided to wait until 4 is done so we can use an application level solution. We have gladly welcomed the addition of Marcie Robillard, aka Datagrid Girl who, along with Nish and Smitha, will be helping me complete the ASP.NET rewrite. That's essentially 4, and then 3 done.
Please be very kind to Patricia and Bianca who are working hard to ensure 5 will be manageable.
cheers,
Chris Maunder
