You can use the EULA for your own products - it's our gift to the community. However, if you wish to cut and paste parts of it to make a modified license then that's fine as long as you don't identify your license as the CPOL.
code-frog wrote: Also what motivated it's creation
The desire to provide developers with a license that would actually protect them. The "use this how you want" license is no protection for anyone, and after a year spent talking to way to many lawyers, and seeing first hand what can happen when code is provided without a license or agreement, we decided enough was enough.
The CPOL lays out clearly and unambiguously what can and can't be done with code, what rights and assignments are made, who is involved in the license and who isn't, and provides users with enough rights to actually use the code while ensuring sufficient control for the author.
We looked at every license we could get our hands on and they either failed to provide sufficient rights for users, failed to protect the author, used ambiguous wording, or (and this was an important one many overlooked) failed to provide any protection for publishers.

Once again Chris. CP is head and shoulders above any other site and it's no small credit to both you and David.
You have been right so many times when you have said, "Give it time. We have some cool stuff in the works." and you have rolled out some very impressive stuff.
If you didn't live 1000's of miles away in a prison colony I'd buy you the best beer and dinner you could find.

Fixed a little. This is a bit of a consequence of the code for the smiley itself: I'd rather be cautious and not convert legitimate text into a smiley.

I think we should have a rule where a message has to receive 3 or more 1.0 votes before it shows them. That will put an end to the drive-by-voting. Once a 3rd one vote is applied then they all show but until that happens the status of the message isn't changed. That rule should hold for 2.0 voting as well. For 3.0 votes and above there shouldn't be a need for restraint.

See right now my OP would be unaffected by the lamers that are in 'my possie' who want to drive-by me.

What we are planning on doing is introducing a tracker that will watch voting trends and when it spots someone being an idiot it'll undo all their votes and lock them out.

I think it will be too much works for you...
What about showing who voted down or up? at leaset, we will have a chance to ask why he/she vote down for a particular post.. but I'm afraid that it might drive to a lot of fighting..

Sounds like a good idea. Not sure if you want to do that for the Soapbox, though. In the real forums, yes.

Between the two activities, a few more suggestions:
1) Open a new window and show up his voting activity for the member itself. It at least serves as a mirror reflecting his mean attitude. Perhaps, he can try correcting himself.
2) Retract Voting Privileges from the member.

how abt having video tutorials on CP as well. but since CP is based on IIS i figure it might be difficult for it to handle the load.
Thanks

How about a Silverlight-based tutorial rather?

Before I'd like to search the message board by author to search all my question. Doing this, I can know if someone has answered my questions. But now CP doesn't support search message board by author any more. I'm confused.
|
|
|
|

Yeah. I think they disable it for now.. I also love this feature. Sometimes, I want to find my own post if someone post the similar questions. In other forum, I'm able to search all posts made by me. But here, I can see only latest 100 messages or something.. it's bad.

I have noticed that when I'm viewing one of the programming forums, the display of the forums at the top of the page appears to change the sort order every so often. It doesn't happen every time, or even in a descernible pattern, but I have noticed that forums occasionaly appear in different locations in this list. It tends to make it difficult to find the forum you're looking for when they keep moving around like that.

I suspect there is a function which randomizes forums display order

This shouldn't be happening. Let me know if you spot it again.

Still seeing it, but not as badly. It now appears that all of the forums stay in the same order except the following:
Soapbox
Lounge
Subtle Bugs
Coding Horrors
Suggestions and Bug Reports
