Some of the forums are too large, especially the Visual C++ forum. There are so many posts per day that new posts are lost very fast, which makes getting answers unlikely.
There are many good categories set up for articles and it would be great to have similar sub-forums. This would also make it easier to find more relevant posts.

Haven't seen this addressed in the suggestions section...
When I copy code from an article in IE the clipboard isn't filled. If I use Firefox it works fine. Is there a problem with the oncopy.js script used on the codeproject pages?
Update!
-------
Oops, disabled paste operations via script in IE security settings. Works now.
Still, I think this setting should be disabled - other sites might not be as nice...

First, when a person logs in to Code Project, is it possible to have the same page appear logged in? Currently, it opens up the main page and then the user has to click on back to go back to where s/he was.
Second, is it could you possible feasible to add a layer for the messages, so that when you click on next or back, the messages section refreshes without refreshing the entire page?

Since there are server performance issues the article submission guide often creates the article but the browser gets a timeout. The result are article duplicates because people keep trying to post and don't realize that there are already two or three duplicates.
Could you please implement a check routine for the submission guide that prevents people from creating more than one article with the same subject?

It is now 13:49 hours on my little clock. I just posted a message to CodeProject which stated:
<subject> Wouter van Vugt 6:41 1 Apr '05
2 possibilities;
my post went lightning fast and arrived before I posted it.
codeproject isn't handling the time zones correctly (yeah, I know, probably not it .

I noticed that there are not many recent news on the front page. What about creating kinda news taskforce to update the news more recently with every important news from the business, the industry, new developments and so on...?

I would LOVE for there to be a group who sends in news items on a regular basis. You volunteering?

With a small team it would be possible to do it.
For me alone it would be rather impossible

What would be involved and what sort if news should go up front? Upcoming Microsoft Chats perhaps?
|
|
|
|

I'm thinking about the same kind of news as now, but more... there are many events, but nobody posts them here.
Examples would be new products, conferences, new standards, big industry news (e.g. management reports), historical dates from your business, etc...
Don't try it, just do it!

How about a blog-like thing where platinum and gold members could post news stories?

Hmm, there are quite a lot gold members, I think that would cause trouble.
Imagine every gold member could post... many news duplicates, bad news, maybe dirty jokes, but not really reliable.

Hello,
Disclaimer: I hope this is the right place to ask my questions; I didn't think this would quite fit in the lounge.
I am interested in submitting an article to the CodeProject. I have just finished the article and I have a couple questions before I submit it.
1. How do I make sure that the article stays on the CodeProject and no one else copies my work and says it is their own?
2. In top of the article I have put in my email (Step #1). Will my email be visible for other people/spambots to see? Or is it only used by the admin, editors, etc. of CodeProject?
3. Is my biography hard-coded into the article, or does it change when I change my biography in my personal settings?
Thanks,
Programmer2k4

1. You own copyright on your article so anyone else trying to repost your article is braching copyright.
2. No one else will see your email. We're very careful about that.
3. Your bio is taken from your profile - it's not part of the article and is updated whenever you update your profile bio.
cheers,

As Chris said, you own the copyright. There is a copyright notice at the bottom of the page. However, it has been known on the odd occasion for someone's article to appear somewhere else. Vigilant CP members will often report to the author if they saw the article somewhere else to help fight copyright infringement. (It's a great community here!) And something I've started to do is to write at the bottom of the article exactly where you will find authorised versions of the article. For example, at the bottom of my most recent article (http://www.codeproject.com/cs/database/SqlInjectionAttacks.asp[^]) is a separate copyright notice and a list of sites where you will find the article. In this case it is here on Code Project, Scottish Developers and my blog. So, if a CP member recognises my work somewhere else they can see if I intended to publish it there or not.
Also, If I ever want to do anything with an article I find on Code Project I always ask the author permission through the article's message board and I always attribute other's work.

Just thought that it would be nice to see the search feature updated a bit. For example, when searching for articles, when I uncheck various languages at the top, results from those should not be included.
Here is an explanation of what I have encountered.
I'm working with Visual C++, so I don't want info about any of the other languages. I run a search for "radio button" and the first option that shows up is a C# article. What is the purpose of the language selection options if they aren't used?

What you are seeing are the articles in the book chapters section which are treated as 'general reading' and not attached to any specific category. This will be improved in the future.
cheers,

it would be cool to gave the forum posts in our own time , and i think you can doit without any server intervention.
you can provide a way to configure time zone in the profile , and then show the time acording using only client side script
servers would not feel a thing

Not to speak for Chris, but if you wrote and supplied the script to him I am sure it would get done faster. If you wait for Chris to write it he will just put it on his TODO list and we could be waiting awhile.

OK then... here it is:
<br />
function ConvertTZ(msgDate)<br />
{<br />
date = new Date(msgDate);<br />
date.setHours(date.getHours()-serverTZ+userTZ);
<br />
d = date.getDate();<br />
m = (date.getMonth()+1);<br />
h = date.getHours();<br />
m = date.getMinutes();<br />
<br />
sDate = ((h<10)?"0"+h:h)+":"+((m<10)?"0"+m:m)+" "+((d<10)?"0"+d:d)+"-"+((m<10)?"0"+m:m)+"-"+date.getFullYear(); <br />
document.write(sDate);<br />
}
and this can be called like this
<td><br />
<script>ConvertTZ("<%=Now%>")</script><br />
</td>
it can be tested here : http://xwega.com/codeproject/timezone.asp[^]
will Chris see this post?
