Excellent news. In the meantime I will email about the few remaining articles.

I wanted to update my forum signature and found that through my profile settings I'm limited to 500 characters. However, if I edit the signature per message there does not appear to be a limit. Could we increase (or remove) the limit in the profile settings?

I think the link to view the contributors agreement on the article submission wizard should open in a new window. That way you can view the agreement but not get the feeling that you've just lost the article you were working on because the screen changes (and hope that everything is still there when you hit the "back" button).

On at least one of my articles (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dotnet/idisposable.aspx[^]), the collapsible code regions extend way beyond the article content on the right margin. This only applies to the actual "header" of the region (where the "Collapse" appears) and not to the content of the code block.

I accidentally went to error page http://www.codeproject.com/script/Common/Error.aspx[^]. I noticed that the menu shows under the Ad. As that ad is flash, I know that the menu won't show over the flash object. So, I think that you might consider something (e.g. removing that ad or change the format or move that ad somewhere else and etc )

Initially, I thought it's about z-order.. but I noticed that ad format is flash and I thought the menu won't be able to show over that flash object... correct me if I'm wrong..
BTW, I'm FF user..

Ads are shown in IFRAMES. If it's in FF too then it's still a z-order issue but not the annoying Microsoft z-order issue. Clearly it's another, different, annoying z-order issue.

Submission wizard allows you to upload 15 files. The instruction text still says "You can upload only 10 files".

That's a feature, not an error: an hex number (counting the article itself as a file, I suppose)!

Currently I am unable to change my settings: each time I try apperas the following message:
Items that need attention:
* The name you supplied has already been registered. Please choose another, or try retrieving your password if that is your member name
This page allows you to create a new Code Project profile or modify the existing one. If you wish to update your existing settings then you need to sign in first.
but, actually, I'm signed in.

I've cleaned up the wording.
It could be that someone else is using your name, or a form of your name (eg HTML, special characters etc) that looks like your name

I'm still unable to change my settings. Maybe my duplicate personality is still around?

Hey Chris, what is the story with http://www.codeproject.com/info/eula.aspx[^]? Is that something that we can default use? Can we make it more restrictive for our own purposes if we wish? What latitude do you give us to use that EULA and to customize it if we want to? Also what motivated it's creation (just the constant hub-ub in the Lounge)?
Also can we use this for our own personal use and if so can we modify it?

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.
