If you're that shakey how can you be sure that you even know what you are voting for anyway?

Does that matte`? It's important that you vote (or the t's have won or something like that)

hi
we have job posting here in codeproject. but it is not sufficient compared with other sites.
i am not comparing any features here but we need to concentrate on more job posting.

Why? There are plenty of job sites out there already. CodeProject is better concentrating on its core competency which is articles about developing software and forums to ask questions about software development issues.
Whilst you could argue that jobs are a software development issue, I personally feel the facilities offered by CP are adequate.

Hope this is not a repost.
With the recent performance issues, it may work better if the forums where on a couple servers by themselves. Then if people started downloading a lot of articles, it would not effect the machines running the forums. This would make the forums stay more responsive.
For me, speed and reliability is required more in the forums than articles. When looking for an article it does not matter if I have to try a couple times, but if you are browsing through the forums, it can really discourage you on each page click.
In addition, there are the times when you are posting a message and the server dies where you may or may not be able to get back to your post to resubmit it.

I'm sure this has been posted by others, but just in case,
We (like a lot of others, I'm sure) have a intranet at home where all our machines look like the same ip address to fool our ISP. However, CP won't allow Tom and I to work independently in terms of voting and such. Will this always be that way or are there changes in mind for letting programming couples work independently?

The error message states something along the lines of "You can't vote twice from the same IP address"

Ah, ok, I didn't know that the server looked at the IP address as well as the account. That's probably done to prevent one idiot from making dozens of accounts just to vote something up/down.
When you set up a private internal network, all data going outside the network appears to come from the same IP address. That's just how NAT* works. The CP server can't know that VoteA and VoteB came from different computers on someone's private network.

I know. We set it up
I just have a problem with the fact that in order to deter the minority that are acting incorrectly, the rest of us have to suffer.

That's pretty much how it is on any moderately-sized forum/newsgroup that is free and accessible to anyone, no? A handful of idiots can easily ruin it for the whole group.

No problem Tom's mentioned you several times so I thought I'd just mess with you a bit.
By the way, I ran the data operations center at Data General for 15 years before retiring to a leisurely life of hospital visits and nurses

Yeah. Bummer I guess, but it's reality. Oh well. Thanks for the responses.

What about people in a large organization, behind a firewall? The first person who votes is the only one who get's a say?
Seems unrealistically limited if you want accurate voting.

The current message is "You have already voted for this message." and does not occur if I try and vote from another account from the same machine (i.e. with the same IP address regardless of NAT/firewall).
Do you still have this problem?

I should also mention that Tom and I are two completely different boxes and - shocking as it is for husband and wife - sometimes we have different opinions and want to vote differently

Good idea. There must be lots of people out their with questions and maybe a few people with answers. Running a business is far harder than churning out code.

Didn't each article used to display at bottom who the editor was?
Was this changed because there are now official paid editors.
I only ask because I can't believe this article[^] got through the editing process.
Certainly not up to the high-standards I've come to expect from the CP editing team.

I was the guilty editor on this occasion. I do not mean to excuse my fault, but the backlog got big on me during the last couple of weeks with CP access issues and in my attempt to speed up things, I erred on the side of proper-filtering. I apologize to you sincerely and thanks for pointing it out to me. The article has been deleted.
Thanks for replying Nish. No need to apologize, it can't be an easy job and we all take shortcuts at some time
Now that each article doesn't have the editor name at the bottom, how should we point out small errors in articles. (I saw an edited article with a orphaned paragraph tag). I'm sure it would be helpful to you and the rest of the editors if there was some mechanism for pointing out things that could do with being corrected). Not that I'm trying to make more work for you

If you want to report something about an article, it's best to email submit@codeproject.com which will forward to the active Articles Submission Manager. It's better than directly emailing the editor for that article, since he/she might not be an editor anymore - maybe that's why Chris removed the Editor's name from the article footer

Thanks Nish. That makes total sense, and I really should have guessed that myself.
[Suggestion]
I think it would be nicer and more user-friendly if the link was still on the bottom of the page, but rather than having the name of the editor the link should show a mail form that sends a mail to submit@codeproject.com.
Getting a little more sophisticated, the mail that is auto-generated by the form could have an xml body that contained the articles reference number etc. An app could then auto-parse the recieved mail and build a to-do list of changes that need an editors attention. The system could then assign the task to an editor, and automatically notify them of required changes.

The best thing to do is send an email to submit@codeproject.com, or click the "Broken links?" link at the top left of each article (just under the title)
[Edit: Didn't each article used to display at bottom who the editor was? Was this changed because there are now official paid editors.
No - it was pulled because it wasn't deemed to be necessary, and not having it saved yet another database lookup. Merely my doing some house cleaning. If it's useful then it's 2 seconds work to put it back in.
cheers,
