Tried to post this yesterday when there were posting issues:
How much of an additional db overhead do you, as a software developer, think this would cause? Consider that it would need to run for every single new post.

I agree. But how long do you expect CP to silently bear all the kicks like those from the following perspectives:
1) Crazy cross-posts and multi-posts.
2) Vehement plagiarism of content by different websites.
Shouldn't there be some whip that should be initiated to bring these menace to control?

1. There is an Abuse button. Please use it.
2. Report plagarism to us. We have legal representatives to help protect our members and our site.

Hi,
when someone posts a new article, and doesn't cast a vote to it, it is shown as
"rating 0.0/5 votes: 0" which is not looking great, a simple "votes: 0" would be better,
the 0.0/5 is misleading.
But it gets worse: the 0.0/5 is also accounted for in the average over all articles,
so in this case[^] there was one other article at 3.4/5 yielding an unfair average of 1.7/5
In the mean time, I added a vote of 5 to the former article, so the average now looks
decent. But I still think this little bug should be taken care of.

I just noticed that the same set of three articles (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/files/XResFilePt1.aspx[^], etc.) have some bizarre formatting in the PRE blocks. After each comment line, there is now a blank line. So instead of
there is now
Haven't checked other articles yet.

This is a know issue, and it is on our BUG list.

I'm glad it is known, but I'm concerned that the extra lines are being inserted into the article html. Are you going to have to manually edit each of these articles, to remove the extra lines?

But the 404 handler should anyway help out right?

Why there is not a rss/feed for codeproject's "Industry News" section, or do I miss something?
|
|
|
|
|
Whats up with that? I've been searching the site and have not found the "NEWS" feature to be available in RSS. It seems that if it can be emailed it could be fed via RSS. If it cannot be done OR will not be done - I for one would like to know the score. If however, I am missing something, would someone please toss me a clue?
Thank you!
(I am aware of the articles feed.)

I too would like to see the CP news emails offered as an RSS feed.

I was just casually surfing on the static pages of CodeProject, since the forum was very slow in the afternoon. I just have a quick suggestion towards the MediaKit page (http://www.codeproject.com/info/MediaKit.aspx[^])
Since the website is now powered by ASP.NET, I feel the statistics can be accompanied by a cool graph instead of textual statistics. A picture is worth thousand words. Isn't it?

If we are not allowed to insert pictures in our messages, why should Chris?
We could save thousand words over and over...

Perhaps because Chris is at least a demi god, well a minor deity at least.

With all the deistic powers vested in him, he is the one needing images the least;
he sure can convey his message in just a couple of well chosen and very profound words.
We simple mortals on the other hand need a daily load of words to express ourselves, providing
the explanation, guidance and mockery this site so badly needs. Please give us imaging power
to supplement our imagination and condense our thoughts!

Speak for yourself. 
There you go, three words - it's almost Chris like (almost but no banana).

I do. Occasionally in plural.
I'll eat more rice, that should help.
