You have come to prove that when [SOLVED] is in the subject line, people clearly continue
to read and reply, so it does not work.

It is more an attitude issue to show his gratitude when his problem is solved that he gratefully acknowledges the help that he has got from the public discussion board.

thanks for all the members in the board for the response i got for the suggestion i made.
lets wait till chris maunder and co implements any logic for this, till then as our part, we shall frequently keep posting it in the normal forums.
such that, more number of people will see this and impolement it. no sooner, iam sure that, every body follows that.
many more thanks to Russel, who put it in the suggestions forum.

No - that misses the point of the Coding Horrors forum. Show me some bad, bad code. Don't show me a design that may not suit what others are doing.

Chris,
I actually wanted this Move for the reason that IE 7 terribly misses even the backward compatibility issue. When you have a semicolon in the filename, the File Download dialog shows a wrong info. In IE it manages to show the File Type but IE 7 breaks its own settings of 'Inspect file by content instead of file name' and shows 'Unknown File Type'.

So I was thinking about those fellows who vote an article --usually down-- without even reading it. Don't know if this has already been suggested, but what about to add some kind of timer to disable the voting button until n minutes have passed since the page was loaded, where "n" might be calculated according to the number of lines the article has with an aproximate on how long does an average person take to read a line?

Haste makes waste.
Why should we bother about half-brain-pals? Just ignore them. A real good article would automatically earn good credits in no time, in fact, breaking the poisons seeded by the sinister Univoters.

Yes, I know. Particularly I don't mind --furthermore, I only have 3 articles published . Still there are many people who mind, so I believe this wouldn't take too much effort... Just a thought.

I think considering the storm of 'Univoter Menace' sometime about a fortnight back, Chris & Co should be working on it. Most probably, we should be finding some robust means in the next new version of CodeProject that they are planning.

I was wondering how the articles are chosen. I assume it's the top ten rated articles in month?
I'm kinda curious why my article[^] isn't listed. It was submitted in July and has a decent rating.
Mind you, this isn't a big deal and not a complaint. I wouldn't have a prayer against the competition this month.

The articles are chosen based on rating on the day the vote form goes up. It can happen that on the day one article is voted higher than another and gets in, then the day after the votes change and the article would, given a new vote form, no longer be in the running.

Understood, thanks.
I've been really impressed with many of the articles submitted to Code Project over the past couple of months. Maybe I'm just paying more attention, but there have been some jaw-dropping submissions lately.

I've increased the caching - that may help.

Hi Chris,
I was revisiting the Univoter Thread[^]. It seems the Univoter bashed everyone involved with the thread.
So I thought I would even it ou by offering a high score to all those who particpated. However, I began receiving the following message:
You or someone at your IP address has been voting too often. Please wait a moment and try again Would it be possible to throttle negative responses only?

I'd rather not. Voting wars are never worthwhile no matter which side you're on

I think that a useful thing to have would be some method of subtly fingerprinting articles here so they can easily be searched for across the internet to find these scammy sites stealing the content.

Not sure but something you can easily search on through google. I've never seen the pirated articles so I'm not sure what makes it through from the source.

Hi John,
I don't think we need top-level technology to squash some parasites.
the buz=zy=co=de thiefs have copied my very first article (LPSokoban) and have
kept the text as is, including "this is my first article" and a reference
to CodeProject discussion boards; they have assigned another author name;
but their download is a ZIP containing my two ZIP files (demo and source),
unchanged, hence my name is there multiple times.
So strong finger printing is not really needed for now; a few personal touches
in text and code seem sufficient to recognize what is real and what is fake.
Anyhow, their lack of server performance will kick them out of "business" in
no time. If not, Chris and his legal division will take care of it. If that fails
too, Uncle Sam can send the troops, we know where they are...
