I have been accumulating notes on some of the software utilities I use regularly, and wanted to submit some reviews of this software to CP. I was surprised to find there is no Software Reviews section, although there is a Hardware Reviews under General Reading.
My suggestion: create a Software Reviews section under General Reading.
-- modified at 10:49 Saturday 14th April, 2007
Here are some possible subsections:- Backup
- Database
- Dev Tools
- Editors
- Email, RSS, & News Readers
- File Management
- IDE
- Media Players & Management
- PIM & Calendar
- Project Management
- Source Control
The general idea of a "software review" is to describe the main features, possibly compare several products, and show how to use it. Both free and non-free products could be discussed.

Has anyone else noticed that two entire threads, not just a post hear or there in them, have disappeared from the Coding Horrors forum?
Did they actually get removed or moved somewhere else?

There were two threads that were removed.

How about only being able to vote when actually replying?

or, limit people to 5 votes per day.

The Headline style on the News page (eg: for 11 April, 2007[^]) is crying out for some leading vertical whitespace. My aesthetic sensibilities are constantly offended by the lack of separation between the "Source" line and the next headline. It's causing me lack of sleep and loss of appetite.
No wait, I just ate a ham sandwich. Mmm...

How about having the "It looks like you've already posted this message"... work acrossed multiple forums to stop a good deal of the cross-posting.

How would that work if what you were trying to do was move the message to another forum?
|
|
|
|
|
Delete the old message first?

I was just looking at an article and was wishing (once again) that I could "Watch this article" and get an email when the article was updated. I know this has been suggested before, but I'm hopeful.

That'd be nice, I bookmark any articles like that but since then I've only seen my bookmarks (CP ones) once because I forget to check.
Perhaps it simply notifies you of any changes to your bookmarks?
|
|
|
|
|
That's a really good suggestion and would greatly increase CP's appeal, imho.

Yep - that one's on the list.

I wish there could be forums for all the competitions also (as we have for the articles).
Every prospective, participating users and judges could interact there, results can be announced there etc etc. Lots of benefits IMO

Is it just me or has the "supporter" icon been awarded a more noticeable "glow" animation? (I'm hungry, so it could be just me).
